They want options, that's for sure. Our old criteria only gave points for downloads. Now streaming is weighted equally.

Quality is improving and it will continue to do so. 8K might be a bit ahead of the curve right now, but in ten years time it won't be.

No emails will be forthcoming. If you can't figure out how to add a guy to Skype or ICQ and get business done, I'm afraid you only have yourself to blame.

This does a disservice to the punter and the industry. That fact that 8000+ bit-rate movies won't play on most computers makes the scoring just mad.

To your points...
I) No, bitrate doesn't tell the whole picture, but it does tell a large part of it. And it's the only part which is easily quantifiable. Our review should cover the rest.
II) What does it matter what the competition is doing? Are you serious? Looking at what they're doing is a really good way someone like yourself can learn. And as you've said, there's a lot about this Internet thing that you just don't know.
III) We score people lower who work harder? Um, no. That's just not true.
IV) If 8k doesn't play on your computer, burn it to a DVD. Our reviews aren't for you. They are for connoisseurs who realize the bar is constantly being raised and they want to enjoy their passion in it's fullest.

If there's something that's out of place on our site with a review, we're happy to fix it. We try and do this honestly. And I think our review criteria now basically allows for more transparency than any other site. It's detailed so wanking is kept to a minimum.
