Sorry I missed you in London last weekend. I agree with you in many ways. It's well past time we had real humans writing reviews and not in-house writers. I mean no disrespect by this, but we all have to admit that when the only thing you do is review porn sites, you're pretty much bound to become a little desensitised by it all. However, I don't see an easy solution to this since Rabbits are an enormous company that need to have a reliable in-house team in order to keep up with the demand; I do think that the criteria is in need of change however, it's gotten a little out of control.

Personally, on the issue of quality, I think that things like picture and video quality are pretty much a given these days. The average paysite out there usually has good enough hi-res pictures and HD movies, and this sort of thing doesn't even need to be mentioned unless they're really terrible. For goodness sake let's get away from the quality of pics and vids all the time; they're all generally pretty good these days aren't they?

I attended a seminar on review sites in Amsterdam and got the impression that some of the details that were being reviewed were not likely to be very interesting to the reader at all, particularly because, as the guy from The Best Porn said, "they're already there because they want to pay for a porn site." What the punter needs to know are details about price and content, and not just bonus sites and quantity, but quality of updates too.

Originality, imagination and creativity are certainly things that need to be concentrated on a little more in my opinion, I agree, and it would certainly raise the bar for other porn sites to do that little bit more.

There is still room for porn review sites to get the respect they deserve, they just need to change the rules a little. Everything needs updating now and then, and even though they're converting like crazy and making a lot of money at the moment, this could soon die down as people lose respect for the substance and integrity of individual reviews. The guys on the panel in Amsterdam all agreed that they have been receiving significantly less reviews lately.
