This is from Mike of Forum Hype
His logo comment is based on the Winter theme which I can see his point on that one. I honestly don't get why I need to leave ZB to be decent. I think ZB is good enough and the ads honestly don't bother me. I don't like asking people for money plus I don't like anything in which I don't have control of. Giving control to the hopes people will pay up is not something I even fond of so yeah... other then that we did good. |

I hate it when reviewers put down a free forum host. There is nothing wrong with Zetaboards, honestly. Sure, there are lots of better softwares but they also cost a lot of money for a few minor features that we can all live without. This forum is indeed doing really well, I just wish it was bit more organized (removing some of the old announcements, slimming down the layout, etc). You should request a review from Link Up and get a better, longer one. :# |

Okay review. Honestly, i see no need in removing the advert. Either way i'm okay with it. As for the Logo, i don't use the Winter Theme, i use Rapture Old Version 2. IMHO, the review is okay, seems like he was focused more on the host than the board itself; but i'm no professional so i won't judge. I'm just glad there is a review.

Removing the advert would get my board shut down so yeah not happening. XD I honestly only get reviews on self hosted boards to see what sort of amusing things they will say. Some have a bias against free hosts while others are just completely ignorant as to how they are such as the guy who took away three points because of the adverts as if I had any control over them. lol |

Honestly to me it looks like he mainly tried to find stuff to complain about. I wonder if he even noticed there are multiple theme choices. Also I don't see a problem with ads, I don't pay attention to them. Hell even youtube has ads and it's not like people like them less and goes elsewhere because they have ads XD Ads are really not relevant in a review imo. Neither is the fact a certain hosting is free. Like it's negative... ehh oki. Honestly it doesn't seem much thought was put into it. |

Its funny considering that while it was an unofficial member review... it was done by one of the admins of that place. They make a point of talking about it because they are on a self hosted forum where ads that they don't control is not something they deal with. It's why their reviews end up being so worthless because they don't get that you don't mess with a score based on something that the forum owner can't control. If I had not lost those three points due to the ad comment then that review would have received a 95 which is high enough to get placed in their top notch forum reviews. Not bad if I do so say myself.

As long as there's no copyright on the images, and we aren't claiming to make Chicken Little, there's not anything no-one can do. These reviewers have no clue on what they are talking about, do they? |

They aren't officially hired or anything just regular members who feel like making comments on other people's boards. If you could get sued for using chicken little in a welcome image then pretty much every forum would have gotten shut down and everyone sued for copyright infringement based on just the avatars and sigs people make throughout the years. |

especially considering that this forum is mainly a discussion/free talk sort of board, there's no reason to get better hosting or even solicit donations. these guys seem to view forums in terms of profitability. you can see they're trying to appeal to the consumer crowd; the Chicken Little nitpick is on example. |

Excellent point and I noticed the whole money is uber important to those people thing going on there. Money and forums just don't mix tbh. |

There's nothing wrong in making a little money while foruming, but it shouldn't be a focus, unless you are going into marketing. That's my take on that. |
