AAR Feedback

[McIvan]

Back on the topic of the thread, I've been thinking about AARs v DARs, and I'm heavily in favour of During Action Reports for several reasons:

1. AARs tend to be done in one hit after the event. DAR's in contrast get written a small bit as a time, which is not only more manageable for the writer but also easier on the reader.
2. The episodic "serial" nature of a DAR creates, I think, more anticipation as people tune in for the latest installment.
3. From a forum mods point of view, a problem with an AAR forum can be that a bunch of AARs get written up for it in the first flush of enthusiasm, and after that it dies down. A DAR over the course of a month of two is far better at maintaining interest and you only need one or two going to generate posts every day.

For those reasons I'd far prefer DAR's.....and I prefer reading them personally too.
