A lot of things have changed recently with how WAMP will handle its reviews. Another change is that our reviews are no longer handing out numeric scores. That’s a pretty big change, I know, and it’s one I’ve been contemplating over the past few months.

The thought of departing from a standard numeric scoring system first occurred to me back when I reviewed AlexiZ’s painting tutorial from CMON. It scored extremely low because of a number of technical and production issues that diluted ...

In roughly a week, I’ll have been a part of the Wamp community for a whole year, so I thought I’d take a break from my usual blog posts about Crowdfunding and wander around some analysis of my first year here.
