"Competitive" Hack

[Mach]

On Alexa.com and Amazon.com, E-mpire has always had a 4.5 out of 5 star rating. We've had some little chump kids over at the Advance Games "network" trying to rate us low because of their horrific jealousy of E-mpire and it's grand size and success.

I'd like to invite you Forum members to write an honest, clear review of E-mpire on Amazon so the consumers know what's really up.
Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000A4TPE/102-5135585-8298513#cust-reviews

We now have a 4 out of 5 because of Feb 28's "A Kid's Review" by a jealous fansite owner:
1 out of 5 stars Poor Quality and Standards, February 28, 2006

A Kid's Review
This "network" as they call it is awfully bad. Their site features tons of pop-up ads, and is hardly ever updated. Not to mention that the layout for the site is quite bland and unoriginal. Also they tend to just post articles bashing other sites. This is not something I want to read on a videogame site, I want to read videogame articles, not "Oh our site is better then Site X." Definitely needs to shape up.


BTW, I believe in the end this is what that "A Kid Reviewer" is really bitching about:

[Skull Kid]

I remember writing one for NNow like 3 years ago.

That kid is a dumbass. oh, and I wrote a review, but it's in pending, or something.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

sorry, that was mine :(

[Zac]

Can we write bad things about that kid's network

[Loc]

The only good thing about advancemn.com is RPGamer.com, everything else is lame to the membrane.

[Mach]

Well, I dont follow that fansite's moves but I do remember that RPGamer.com's owner said they are in no way owned by the fansite. They're merely holding hands. That's not a true network. Everything E-mpire has, E-mpire owns.

That made me giggle. :clap:

[Loc]

lol It's funny how all these site owners are based in the Seattle area. I'm guessing we can have a gang war and fight eachother with sticks.

[OnBake Platinum]

We should have a AMN vs E-mpire meet where we all fight. But instead of us actually going, we just send Carlos.

[Loc]

I still don't understand this long-running Carlos humor.

hahaha this is what the guy said Cyndi Lauper is my biggest hero.

and this
Most memorable AMN Moment?

E3 2006, when all of us were standing outside the Nintendo Press Conference two hours early with nobody else around outside the Kodak theatre has to be the best

Somebody needs to tell him that E3 2006 hasnt taken place yet.

[Dwhitten]

Hey David I did my review. It's the least I can to shine the truth on what our site is really about.

[Jesus]

Send me over to fight.

I'd beat all of their Sticks!

[Rizon]

hath, i have written ye review of yonder e-mpire.
Tis now pending to whether it twill be put on the site.

[Sandman]

I don't see why one bad review is such a bad thing when the rest are good.

[Mach]

It's not a problem anymore. It was when it lowered our 4.5 out of 5 rating to 4 out of 5. I dont mind it when it's honest customer reviews, but Im not going to sit there and let cheap fansite owners try to tarnish our high average for no good reason.

[Sandman]

Well do you even know that it was AMN?

[Mach]

Yeah, I can tell easily through several key factors and indicators.

[Generic Wheaties]

I was writing a review but in the middle I realized it'll probably cause future problems. I was aiming to give you guys a 4.
