As I mentioned earlier, I have started work on a searchable database. The reason I did that is because I liked the format of O-Review and I don't think a forum is suited to that type of data. Similarly a spreadsheet is great, but in my opinion it's not as flexible as a custom made solution.
Here is what I have at present Oakley DB . I still have a lot to do - I've mainly been working on the backend database, so the website is just a list at the moment, and I haven't built a search feature yet, but I have a long list of what I want to do. The data isn't 100% either yet as I'm still working through some bugs in my loading code and I need to find additional sources for data.
As to the worry about it being shutdown because it's outside the forum, my plan it to keep it all open source, so anyone could in theory run a similar site, or we could run it under the forum. There are lots of options. The repo is here for anyone interested GitHub - stevekew/oakleydb .
