    I am working on a new site, and I was not sure what the best way to use a CMS would be.

    I will be reveiwing products, and also have the option for member reviews.

    I was not sure if I should use wordpress, and just do daily reviews of the products myself, and allow comments, but call them member reviews instead, or if I should implement a forum for the member reviews?

    Also, if someone has posted video reviews of the product on youtube, can I post them on my site, or would I need the users permisson?

    The forum ideas isn't so good.
    I strongly recommend Wordpress, it`s easy and you won`t have any problems.
    Another suggestion is Joomla, but I haven`t used too much so I can`t be precise

    Why is the forum idea bad? I figure this would be the best way for users to review?

    ok most likely you should be looking toward Wordpress for your site needs. and when it comes to calling them "member reviews" i would be careful. because you are looking to make multiple users in whatever CMS you are going to use. and get rid of the forum idea. you are looking for a ton of spam if you go with a forum.

    also, if someone posts on youtube a review of a product, and you post it on your own site, you should be fine. i say this because i have seen many many people put other videos on other peoples sites. so i would not worry about it. however, i would be sure to read YouTube's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
