It is clear that the Top100 has become irrelevant within our community. It needs an overhaul. Here are my suggestions. What do you think?

1. Reset the rankings from scratch
2. Everyone create a list ranking all the games you have ever played. Best to worst. Mix modern in with SS and EMs. Create one big list. No complex scoring systems, just a list. Could be a drag-and-drop system created. Still include (optional and encouraged) comments.
3. Games would get points for being ranked highly. Perhaps higher value would be applied for larger lists, which would encourage people to rank a lot of games. (#1 on a list of 300 is more valuable than #1 on a list of 10)
4. There would be a master list created, from which simple check boxes could be used to specify which you want to view: EMs, SS, manufacturers, decades, whatever.

This would solve multiple issues with the ranking system.
- Increased interest, relevance
- Refresh a stale system, get rid of old votes from non-active members
- A LOT more "voting" because it wouldn't take 15 minutes to do a single rating.
- It would help keep track of what games you have played, and which you need to be looking for. This could be fun.
- I would expect there would be a lot more votes for EMs

The ranking system is not intended to tell you what games you should enjoy. Of course. It's just for fun.

Why get rid of it? What harm is it doing? It's obviously broken, opinions range from apathy to hatred. Few people seem to be enjoying it.

I say let's alter it, see if it can become more interesting and fun.

I guess you could just rank the ones you think are best. Even your top 20 would be interesting. Few of us have played anywhere near that many.

I agree, that horse is long dead, but I would add to my recommendations...

#5 Gather all versions of a game under one heading. Discussions of the various versions can occur within the comments section.
