"Drill-down" navigation
I am sure it was proposed before but just in case.
The navigation to the reviews should go from greater to smaller.
Start with the list of states.
Clicking on the State should give you the list of major areas within the state. What constitutes an area should be discussed.
Clicking on the area displays the list of SPAs
Clicking on the Spa displays the providers .
Clicking on the provider displays the reviews and comments.

Homer, Spa Hunters was organized by area and down to the spa.
The next step to the provider is difficult because at many places there is a turnover and the girl may never return. Her continued listing would have less and less value. Plus at some spas names have been duplicated making that confusing too.
Anyway a little more organization would help. Especially all the duplicate threads for individual providers. This is the result from having to start a new review thread to get approval to see private details. New reviews for the same provider should be able to made in just one provider thread.

Divide up the NJ Review Forum:
With so many SH-refugees checking in, the number of NJ Reviews is growing nicely. However, the lack of finer-grained forum organization is making intel harder to review. Since the admins have not stepped up and provided different NJ region sub-forums, I've been trying to adopt a review naming protocol as follows:
<Provider> @ <Spa Name>, <City>, <Region ::= North NJ | South NJ | Central NJ | NJ Shore>
Hopefully my brother mongers will adopt something similar so it is easier to skim over Review titles to see what titillates and make the review database more easily searchable. Perhaps the admins will see this and force some of this reformat as they review pending reviews...
Who's with me? Can I get a dilly-dilly?

Hi TopJimmy. I posted the following on a NJ thread earlier. Regards.
"Agree with all of my brethren above about sub-dividing NJ into regional categories. Kudos to the founders AmpReviews for making a valiant effort and in-roads for initiating another great website. As an alumnus of SH, like many members on here, we were spoiled on its ease of use. I am sure, with time and additional input data by its members, AMPreviews will approach their goal.
May I also suggest that, in addition to sub-categories within a state, that when a store location is established, that contributors/reviewers can simply tag on their reviews within that specific locations thread; that is, the reviewer can first search for the location, and all reviews would be clustered in a chronological thread specific to that location. This was a nice feature that SH had, which made research much easier for the general membership.
Again, major kudos to the founders of this site, and we wish you much success with its maintenance, upgrades and improvements."
Also, I would agree that Reviews and Discussions should remain separated. Again please cluster the reviews based on the search and location of the specific store.
