It's alive.

I've been helping Rog with a redesign of his DVD Porn Reviews site. It's finally up and running after a ton of work. It still needs some work but it's much better than the old site. Check it out if you get a minute.

I didn't see the site before the change so I have nothing to base an opinion of the changes on. I found the reviews tough to read because they are often, if not always, one long paragraph. I try and break mine up a bit for easier reading.

The other comment I have is that you read the grades something gets and then the body of the review is totally different. I saw one review that rated a movie A in all groups but the review mentioned how bad it was in some of those areas. Other times, the rating groups are ignored all together. Here's one:
Overall rating: B
Female looks: n/a
Male looks: n/a
Sex: Zero
Plot/Acting: n/a
Extras: A
A/V Quality: Zero

I saw this on almost 12 reviews I checked out...

The alternative:
Overall rating: A
Female looks: A
Male looks: A
Sex: A
Plot/Acting: A
Extras: A
A/V Quality: A

Is just as bad. I'm not a professional reviewer and I don't review 8+ movies a day like some of their people have but I'd rather hear a few comments about the quality of the production instead of a blow by blow description of the dvd. Just a thought. ;)

Hi Roger, thanks for the insight. I figured that once Drew had fixed your site, it was as good as it could get-he's good! :) In any case, I look forward to reading some more of the reviews once the site is finished.

I guess the people who want every detail about a dvd will have a great place to go. I prefer buying based on a more generalized review only because I'd rather watch it for myself. For the record, I watch "every second of every dvd" I review as well. The most important details, for me, in a review are the quality details. I could copy the screenplay down and present it as a review but it wouldn't tell me if all the elements came together as a whole. Reviews based at least partially on technical aspects are much more objective-as are ones that almost totally copy down the action. Maybe a happy medium is best-I can't speak for anyone but myself.

Don't get me wrong, I think your site is very good at providing super detailed outlines and will let others who desire that type of thing know where to go. Your grading system, when used, is just as valid as the ADT system too. I know I'll give you a chance to fix the minor stuff and I'm sure others will too. ;)

HoustonDon - Give us a few weeks. The conversion to the new DVD Porn Reviews site was done rather quickly on my end. There are numerous issues for Rog and I to tackle. The new site design was thrown together rather quickly to fix a couple of serious issues with the old site.

Drew, if you're working on it-it'll be great. I have faith in your ability to do what some of us only dream of in regards to website building/fixing. I'll check it from time to time but please let us know when it's all done.

(ps: I'm not sucking up to you-I reserve that for Steph!)

:)

The main reason that I posted the annoucement for the new DVD Porn Reviews site is to help Rog out a bit. Steph and I used to work closely with him at our previous employer. As it turns out they screwed him out of a good deal of money when they decided to pull the plug on their web site. His old site was exclusive to one store. They went out of business and he needed help.

Rog is one of the most popular reviewers of porn on the web. The new site is completely new ground for him in terms of web development. I'll continue to work with him to get his new site geared up to be a great resource.
