Ever thought about having a board for us to discuss our forums, ask for reviews/staff, etc? Just wondering

I have thought about it, and always liked the idea of a review/critique board. I usually contribute to review boards on other forums (well, when they existed.) However, there are a few things that have stopped me from starting one.
1. Who is responsible for critiquing? What exactly is being critiqued?
2. Most forums are RPGs that use premade themes. What is the point of critiquing those?
3. I'm afraid it will turn into an advertising board.
4. People are sensitive and often don't listen to reviews or critiques that I give, which just irks me.
So, the workshop is plenty for now until I can resolve some of those issues. You are free to ask for help with anything in that board.

IT'S TOTALLY NUTS.
Not what PB used to be at all. I have no idea how an RPG even works so its a whole strange world for me...

I wanted to join a few R0PB RPGs recently but in the "character applications" you have to write a paragraph pretty much on why you wanna be there/what your character is like and I'm too lazy.
I'm used to Twitter RPs which are a bit more relaxed. You just sign up, follow people, and you're done.

This haha. I'm so anti PB RPG forums, because they're all what smangii said: pre-made themes.
But every time I want to try 1, I give up before I even sign up, because there's so much crap I need to do before I can get started even. Never knew there were Twitter RPG's.

XikeonRight?! You have to make sure your "face" isn't taken, write an RP synopsis, answer other stupid, pretty pointless questions. Thats why a lot of RPs don't have a ton of members - signing up is boring af.
Do you guys see the themes overused a lot? I've been seeing a lot of PB themes in the library made for RPers more than, say, a fan site. Thank the theme god for Smangii because I had gone through about 20 themes (unhappily I might add).
For Twitter RPs you just sign up and then decide which kinda RP you wanna be (traditional combat RP, Plot-centered RPs (like ones based off of books), or Relaxed which means anyone can join regardless of who they RP. I did relaxed)
