revkev Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Having been justly chided for not contributing in another spot I'd add that you need to do what you need to do - just continue to maintain your integrity and objectivity. It's interesting to me that a site that a formerly inhabited - a long time ago and far far away also had a "review" of the new Adams driver - it's the cats meow - just like everything else - no discernment what so ever. Those who love the game of golf and want to improve and excell need this site.

Stephen_Peszel Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 To say that having True Temper and KBS as a sponsor compromises the integrity of the site is way off in my opinion. I have always judged the quality of this site by the honesty of the reviews and forum entries, none of which seems tainted by OEM preference based on sponsorship. In my opinion the only way having sponsors (even big OEMs) would be a negative was if the content of the Blogs/Reviews changed in a way that was obviously favoring the highest bidder. If the integrity of the review system stays in place, and everyones opinions stay their own, then what is the difference? I don't believe it is anyone's place to tell you how to operate your site, but I will say that I prefer these reviews and this forum to any others, and have only seen the content and community improve over the years, despite the added sponsors. I fully agree! It would not bother me if you accepted advertising from OEMs. Just so they can't corrupt the testing process by "threatening" to withhold advertising in light of negative reviews. You do an excellent job, I could not do what you do AND turn away revenue, nor would I so more power to you.
