First to vote, first to reply to poll. Where's my lollipop for being a good boy?
I don't think there's a whole heck of a lot of significance in avg Site Rating, unless it's maybe to point out extremes of high or low. Some PU members just give out high scores, some give out low scores. It's an individual choice, which is as it should be.

I'm currently at 77.7. I can think of two reasons. One, I'd never score higher than 95 and I've yet to see a site I'd score that high; every site has problems.
Reason two: I've been a risk-taker and joined enough sites that were disappointing that my average went from around 83 to the current figure.
It's pretty rare than anyone complains. Only a webmaster or three have. But users don't usually say I'm too high or low. It's happened, but those were disagreements about tastes and therefore the objections were without merit.

Currently, 75.3. I submitted the poll because I realized I have been going slightly up and down 75 since the very beginning. In fact, I submitted the poll before my recent VideoBox review when I was at 74.8.
There's no big point I want to proof here. As Drooler said, those who review both good and bad experiences (me too) will likely have lower averages.
On a side note, the intervals I wanted to submit initially were much wider. But I did a quick Google search of cached user profiles and I realized that, if you leave one-timers aside, those 4 intervals should get around 25% each. Let's see :)

Would you tell me the specific search terms you used to do that Google search? I'd like to learn to use Google better, and when I try to get information about the cached user profiles at PU, I come up blank (except for a lot of useless hits that are not really related to what I was looking for).
Thanks in advance.

Enter this in the Google search box:
site:pornusers.com "Avg Site Rating"
It's pretty simple: you limit the search to a specific site and search for a unique string. As a bonus, in this case I got all the information I wanted in the description right at the results page.

Before checking it for this poll, I thought that in general I was quite generous with ratings, because I have reviewed some really great sites too (Sweetsophiemoone, Hotlegsandfeet, etc.) But I have just realized that I've had my share of dissapointments too!
All in all, it looks like the average porn-searching experience recieves around 80 points (*/- 5), which is an interesting thing to know...

Because these are all sites I chose carefully before joining, they'll generally get a better average number than if I were reviewing some random site. If there are Porn User or Best Porn reviews, I also check them out before joining, so loser sites that have burned other porn users won't be reviewed by me.
The strength of Porn Users reviews, though, is the fact that when I get burned, which still happens despite my efforts (poor quality, poor quantity, password problems, poor customer service, false advertising, etc.), I give a much lower number and warn other potential members.

80.0-84.9. This may surprise those who know what a miserable mean bastard I am. But I only join sites that I know I am really going to like. Even though I have a high average, my marks for the site I have reviewed are mainly lower than TBP or PU reviews.

I think most of us join sites that we expect to like so the 80-84 average doesn't surprise me.

Very fine poll here: BUT what does average mean - appart from your ratings in reviews all over...
We all - or most/some of us join sites we never heard of before - taking a risk/taking a chance.
Some sites turn out to be crap - and this place is the place to give warnings to other PUs.
Then again you could find a completely unknown site where the review could be one or two things:
A warning or a recommendation!
So the average score will probably be VERY different from user to user...it all depends...of the kind of sites a certain user goes for...

I'm at 86.1 because I'm less of a risk taker than some of you or should I say that I now am a less of a risk taker. If PU had existed 6 yrs ago then
my score would be closer to 75 or less. My first few years were roddled with major stinker. I take my hat of to you barve people willing to give a site a chance. I'm affraid that I no longer join unreviewd sites or those with a score lower than 85%. I may miss a few gems, but better that than losing cash for trash.

Thanks for the Google search string.
It's simple, as long as you enter the correct search string.
Change the search string slightly, and the results are quite different, nowhere near as good.
I guess I should read a tutorial on using Google (too lazy until now).

As Drooler stated, I too am a risk-taker. Since joining PU I tend to join sites that have either no current (roughly 6+ months outdated) reviews or no reviews at all posted within PU or TBP. Although there are many sites I would like to go for new material or updates to new material, I tend to explore new realms and relate my findings. I am currently around 59%.

Thanks to PU, as well as the fact that I am still going to the bigger reputable sites with lots of good reviews, I have an average score of 84.6.
As others have said, we all have our own tastes and I try to steer clear of the sites that just don't interest me, no matter how high their average score is.

I'm at 82.8, but I don't join too many sites that I'm leary of. If you see a low score in one of my reviews, the site surprised me with what it lacks.

Sitting right on 85, I'm using something similar to a college professor using a grading curve. I've only reviewed 2-3 sites below 70 out of 150 or so sites, so I have 70 as my low mark, the few I have graded below 70 was because of serious issues like false advertising about content in preview. So, my scores tend to fall between 70-100, and 85 is right in the middle. I remember explaining once that most of the sites I have reviewed here are sites that I've been a member of more than once, so I obviously liked the site enough to join a second time, so I recommended it to myself. And the only way I take risks on sites is if they have content of one or two of my favorite models, which in turn means it will most likely score at least around 80.

I'm actually lower than I thought I'd be at 79. I started off with a few high scores...since then I've become a better reviewer. A couple of piss-poor sites helped offset those initial high offerings I had.

That would be the opposite of me. I'm just under 83 even though I gave scores of 51 and 50 to some abysmally lousy sites. If I had the energy I would go back and audit the calculation but I'm too busy reading reviews and watching videos that feature copulation (and other associated activities such as fellatio and cunnilingus) between consenting adults.

I'm at 77.2. Right where I should be.
I expect my average to go down over time. I think I'm a pretty tough critic.

75.7 . I guess this happens when you're willing to take your chances with some sites that might disappoint you, but you're able to make some good decisions that result in high scores. I'm the above described person, so I'm pretty sure this average will be more or less consistent in the future as well.

My average site rating is usually high, because I don't join and don't review sites which have bad quality.
