Message sloth P beers 3480 º places 102 º 16:34 Wed 11/1/2017 Anybody else think the "reviewers" on UT over rate (over score) the hell out of damn near every beer they rate? Most of the scores seem outta control, to me anyways.

Most of the scores seem outta control, to me anyways. Maybe. Macro beers seem to higher ratings on Untappd over Ratebeer. I'd say that the ratings for the "hyped" stuff is about on par with what you'd expect to see here. I'll agree that a number of local beers often get over hyped by people throwing out 5's to their local favorite brewery. I still think the much larger sample size makes up for most of this though across the board though.
Message Iznogud P beers 13238 º places 1283 º 17:02 Wed 11/1/2017 I've started using Untappd scores for shopping because beers at RB seem "under scored" when it comes to good beer. Yeah, macro seem to be rated too highly at UT, but I don't care since I have no use of those numbers.

Message Marko P admin beers 17959 º places 879 º 13:01 Thu 11/2/2017 Well, the tags page certainly took a major hit in usability recently, having been split into tags by letter, with the suggested tags not being shown properly either (one at a time, have to go to a letter for it to show the adequate suggested tag that starts with the letter). Hope it's just a temporary setback.
Message Bitterbill beers 3241 º places 25 º 14:35 Fri 11/3/2017 Wow, I see a growing presence of Untappd on Facebook. BA has always had a presence there but RB? Other than an occasional post by Joe... wouldn't that be 1 way to attract new members to RB??

Daily posts, even if they are just sharing beer articles from other news sources, would be a good first step to getting the page more active, and hopefully foster a larger online presence. The RB weekly should always be posted there, every week.
