Proposal: A brand new reviews section

Alright so the reviews section has been dead for quite some time. Some people write reviews but nobody reads em. Hell i dont even know how to navigate to find or write reviews anymore, i just kinda do it by going to the oldass reviews in my profile and going backward.
I propose a new idea. An addition to the forums bar called "reviews". It would be similar to a forum, but sorted in alphabetical order by company. Once you choose your company, there would be every product to reviewed alphabetical order.
I'd even be in favor of having the review space be in a box just like a forum, instead of having "overll, value, design, etc." layout. I feel like a lot more comments would be flowing and more people would be reading if this happened.
Discuss.

I would love this. Not only could this maybe curb some of the Gear Talk threads "How do you guise like ____?" or "Is this a good jacket?" for I truly believe that an updated version can only be beneficial.
On a personal note, The review section is what brought me to NS so t has a bit of a special place in my heart for introducing us, so I would really think it would be sick if it was renovated.

Not sure how I feel about the idea, but I do completely agree that the Reviews section needs to be rehab'd.
I feel like it has a very high potential to be extremely useful, but just isn't being used thoroughly.

Man, that is such a sick idea!! Like seriously, i could see this totally happen.. Not only would it be wayy easier for us, but also it would definitely reduce all those bullshit threads in the Gear Talk forum.. Lets make this happen!!

The review section is the first thing I ever used on NS.
I think it should be set up just like the review sections on backcountry.com.
Review section>List of Brands> Item
Then maybe even have a template to fill out. Also specs for each item at the top of the page would be nice.
