I run a small review site that focuses on online casino bonuses, game descriptions, and rankings. The structure is pretty typical. The current version is mostly static with some templating and tracking tools.

Lately, I’ve been considering adding some kind of community feature. I’ve seen other platforms mix review content with user forums, and it seems to boost engagement and trust.

From a technical standpoint, I’m not sure what the best approach is. Would integrating a comment system or even a forum be worth the effort? I’m concerned about performance, spam, and moderation.

If anyone here has transitioned from a static content model to something more interactive, I’d appreciate your input. What challenges should I expect?
