    ... a page on CP where we could put our "best tools". There are always people asking for "What is the best file comparison tool, what are the best Visual add-ins, which tool could I use for cleaning my registry, what is the best install tool, ...?" So what about putting the best links to an own page where we loungers could simply redirect those lost people seeking a tool/add-in/extension... ? Could actually be an article, entries would be somehow moderated to avoid everybody coming doing advertisement for its own stuff...

      How would you prevent that? Let's say I make a product and create a dummy account to be able to "recommend" it, who's the wiser? Unless you don't allow new accounts to list, but then again take people like Kyle who I'm sure has several accounts that have been tucked away for a while.

        Make the favortie list an article, proposals for new entries are made using the forum at the end of the article. It is up to the author to decide whether or not the link comes into the article. Can be tidious, but I would volunteer for that.

          And what if the article's author was fooled into listing an ad by someone who looks legit?

                    Nothing stops anyone from writing about these things on their personal blog on CP. they can have a thread on their computer systems so everyone can send voodoo curses, or favorite tools, or anything else. :)

                              I'm thinking if we have a centralized place that was popular anyway to be used like that, it would become a huge target more so than the lounge even.
