Many Stars Short of a Cosmos - 33Arsenic
(In efforts to actually use the review system, I've chosen CosmoSpore to be the first to recieve a lengthy review to aid in creating a guideline of how to critically review sites.)
- Upon arriving CosmoSpore, I found it to be a forums themed fansite. This is to say most of the content on the website should be generated by the forums. A brief glancing at the central forum proved elsewise. At the time of this writing, there are less than 50 posts and the last reply was August 27th. This implies the site does not have a big community backing it.
- Continuing on, I proceded to investigate each of the subsections of the site. Much of what I found in each section was merely a copy of the section before: nothing. Put bluntly, CosmoSpore lacks any articles, downloads, and FAQs. Of course, this may all be due to the lack of a community and the depressing fact of Spore not being yet available. For what little content they have, it is not impressing. They have a few videos, thanks to YouTube, and a handful of pictures many have seen at least a half dozen times.
- To compliment the website, I would like to say it does have a clean interface. Everything is easy to get to, despite what very little it has. The site has some promise, but it lacks the forum activity to bring the site together. Updating the empty sections of the site would be the best way of getting the site off the ground. A forum centre website should be run by the forums, and without an increase of community, this site is doomed to failure.
