Ugh the owner is SUCH a creep. Rukus posted:I'd also recommend: I like smallnetbuilder a lot, but I don't find them very useful for the router reviews; they're very set in their ways in terms of opinions about router hardware, and refuse to retest equipment after software updates change performance - which means you can't really trust their charts. The forums can be decent about bringing those issues up, though.

The Gunslinger posted:thessdreview was pretty awful for a long time, I haven't visited it lately but I heard he started farming out reviews. I met the owner once at a CanadaComputers store, he was just standing around handing out cards and trying to get people to go to his website. He didn't seem to know what the gently caress he was talking about either, I asked him a few questions on controllers that he should've at least been able to parse and he looked at me blankly. Got a very sales man BSer type vibe from him. Anyways there are better sites, a few mentioned in this thread. Yeah, I used to be a writer for one of those newfangled internet companies, and we used him as a freelancer I think? Maybe he was just a big person in the forums, I don't remember. Either way, he would contact manufacturers and say he was doing reviews and ask for review samples. He's just gross.

Alereon posted:Wait trying to finagle free poo poo makes you gross now? I thought we were talking some Dr. Thomas Pabst poo poo (there were some allegations from way back in the day before Tom's Hardware was sold, including him hitting on an underaged writer for the site at an in-person meet-and-greet.) Finagling free poo poo makes you gross when you're lying about who you are and it reflected poorly on us, absolutely. But yeah, I mostly meant gross in relation to how he acts at poo poo like CES with women.
