Sure we all have egos, but I honestly don't know where I rank, or did rank on the popularity scale of internet reviewers. I think my reviews stack up pretty nicely, but the old site was a mess. Many sites were better than mine at the time. Talent? I don't know. Better than some, not as good as others? That's really up to the readers to decide.

What seems to be missing in this discussion is a ground zero. How could I have lost anything when I didn't give up anything? I didn't sell my site. I don't work for anyone. (Though Mrs. Rog may take issue with that statement of independence.) My "brand name" has not changed.

Since you took the time to comment and say that I have lost personality, I wonder if you could explain how. What is different? If you read my review of a movie this month compared to one three years ago, what has changed? It's not like I went to work for someone and started writing to their specs. (AVN)

More traffic and yes, more money. This have never been all about money for me. If that were all that drove me, I would have quit long ago and probably done things the easy way. It's hard to piss off porn companies with bad reviews if all you want is free porn. It's hard to tell the truth about shitty porn if all you want is to sell movies through affiliate programs. (Which some sites do for sure.) But to answer your question, yes I am making more money now that I was before. It was a matter of revamping the site so that readers could get the information they need and spend their money accordingly.

Den isn't part of ADT, but runs www.cavr.com

The misconceptions I was discussing have to do with my relationship with ADT. You appear to be assuming things that don't exist. I don't work for them. They don't control content on my site. I don't see how having someone re-design my site into something better would hurt me. I also don't see how working with other sites hurts any more than contributing other web sites does.

As for the fued...not between you and I no. I meant the ADT and XXXPT fued. I know the deal and I stay out of it. I post here on topics of interest or when I can make a contribution. I also understand that some topics will always be slanted based on the prevailing feelings of this (or any site.) So yeah, no fued between you and I. I don't do the fighting on the net thing so much any more. It kind of bores me.

That said...."Again, I just find it odd that you more or less sold your brand name away."

You said more or less, so maybe you don't mean that I actually sold...because I didn't sell anything. (Again, Larry Flynt....if you wanna buy a porn review site....) My brand name is the same. The site has changed only in look and ease of use. Or is there more? I'd honestly like to hear what you think is there.
