I said none of them simply to avoid favoring one over the other in the poll. I really do have issues with any of them. For purposes of looking at reviews I usually just go with the reviews here on PU. I do like to check out what they say about new sites though.

Vanessa. And generally, her reviews have more often been informative compared to the others.

I like them all, but usually find Porn Users the best for me. Just a matter of style, I guess.

I really haven't read enough of their reviews to prefer one of them over the others.

I said none of them as I often find that their pros and cons are not what I feel are the most important points when evaluating a site.

From what I have read, I think they all do a very good job with their reviews.

I did not vote simply because I tend to focus more on the reviews of the members around here. No offense to you 3 or anyone else, but it's just to me they may not have a set list of things to look for so it usually allows them to bring up things most don't think about. Plus they tend to give more detail.

I don't pay much attention to any of them. I used to read TBP reviews, but since joining PU, PU reviews are what I look at. TBP reviews are informative, but the PU reviews can have more information in the way of details and opinion (partly because of the longer space allowed for PU reviews), and the PU reviews are not written to the same mechanical system that the TBP reviews are done.
PU reviews can be not only informative, pointing out plus and minus factors about a site, but enjoyable for the opinions and flavor/humor of some of the writers.

Overall, I would have to say Duke. He usually scores the lowest of the 4 (and I tend to be conservative on my scoring as well).

I replied none of them, but not in a negative way. I find that all are pretty close to each other in their assessment of a site (usually within a point or two) and I must agree with some of the others that I mostly go to PU to look at the opinions of fellow PU reviewers. If I go over to TBP for an opinion it's usually for new sites or for sites that weren't reviewed here.

REPLY TO #10 - messmer :
I definately agree that "None" is not a negative here.
One big improvement would be if all 4 reviewers were easily accessable (like the Porn Users reviewers) for questions and comments about sites. Because their reviews lack that feedback and interaction that Porn Users have, lots of questions go unanswered even when the reviews themselves are very good...

I have to agree with mostly everyone on the aspect that it's not that they are bad reviewers, just in general, I think our strict so called 'guidelines' or expectations to what is considered a better review from PU's, results in better thought out and more detailed reviews. This and based on the fact we probably are not reviewing sites upon sites a day, plus we are are actually downloading the bulk of the content. I can guarantee (well I can't do this, but I think :)) that TBP reviewers download a few samples of all the content, rate the overall quality from these, check out features of the site, then do the review. I could be wrong, but I don't think they all stay for the whole month and download the majority to view plus actually view almost all of it and get the whole gist. Meanwhile, as being USERS, we do download a lot and visit the sites often. Therefore, we get a view on the whole aspect of a site and the content/features. Now I'm going on what I am assuming or think, I have no factual basis that TBP reviewers do their reviews this way but I just can't see any professional reviewer visiting as many sites as they do and dishing out extremely highly detailed reviews. But then, we also have to agree that reviews are opinion based and some are just more bias than others. I have changed my opinion a few times from feedback and responses from others because I overlooked something or just did not look at something in the same angle. I think TBP reviewers have it in grained in their mind what a good site to them is, and they roll with that without constant feedback from others to maybe look at things differently. Dunno?

I'm with mbaya on this.
Overall their reviews are okay, but their pros and cons usually miss the spot.

I think GCode pretty much nailed it. I have to say that it would be nice to have the 4 reviewers have a bigger presence either here at PU or at TBP. I'm sure they're pretty busy but it would be nice to find out a bit more about them and here what they have to say either in the forum or elsewhere.

I said Duke but I read the review of the one who gave the highest score and the one who gave the lowest score regardless of who that reviewer is.
I find it interesting to read the reasons for the
difference in scores.

I've found that on my favorite sites the reviews provided by the foursome to be rather superficial, often missing the best parts. I worry that they are racing through the sites too quickly. Unlike a movie, you can't even try to absorb the entire experience of a good site in an hour and a half. I understand they have a business based on getting reviews out, but I usually find the reviews provide me no more information than I get from the simple site facts on the main page. The scores provide a rough guide, but I really don't put much faith in the written reviews.

I tend to read Duke's reviews first. I then sometimes go to Spencer's
Rarely do I go to the girls for their takes. Thanks
