Personally, on the issue of quality, I think that things like picture and video quality are pretty much a given these days... 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?
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.
The guys on the panel in Amsterdam all agreed that they have been receiving significantly less reviews lately.

You should have said hello!
But I'm not sure where you are really coming from. I think it's important to have experts doing any job, and that's what we have in-house. We allow for user reviews on our review pages for the average joe to have his say. They are able to provide different opinions, and important ones, but they can't speak from a position of authority. They are always highly subjective.
And no, vid and pic quality isn't a given. You should see the spread in different levels that are available. Maybe you're less discerning then some others, but we try to give the most details so that those who are interested in the subtle differences can make educated decisions.
Originality and creativity are important to any site. They are just hard to quantify. And they are subjective. Our new criteria is designed so that our scoring is as transparent as possible. The written review, however, can speak to things such as originality and creativity.
And no, not all of the guys agreed that reviews were harder to come by. I actually said we were having a great year for submissions, while the past two years we struggled a bit more. ;)

Well said! Our scores aren't meant to be the final word on any site. They are just supposed to provide a little more information that a surfer can use to make a choice they feel comfortable with.
