Epinions Reviews

I wrote at Epinions for approximately 7 years from March 2000 through sometime in early 2007.  I started out addicted and loving it, and ended angry, upset and hating it.  The site changed a lot over the years and based on the random visits I make to it now, I know it hasn't gotten any better. 

Epinions is a review site, similar to viewpoints, but much harder to navigate, and with a much more high-school like community.  I'm not even going to go into how the site works, etc, as I think once you see why I no longer visit you won't want to visit either.

I’ve read most of the reviews on here, and they’ve all nailed the point especially toward the nasty members and advisors to the site.

I am AnimeMovieMan a member for about a year on site. Epinions has got to be one of the worst sites the Internet has ever seen. Their whole reputation is built on lies “unbiased reviews” a family friendly site. Oh really a site that encourages it’s members and advisors to harass, revenge rate, stalk, and even issue...
