[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 1897746, member: 1"] Steve, I may be reading you completely wrong here (I assume you're OK for me to discuss this publicly, since you posted about it publicly) -- you're annoyed because you feel that EN World newshounds should go out of their way to look at your site? Just a quick note on how newshounds work - they compile the submitted scoops for the day, they glance at WotC's web page and they check the publisher forum and other areas (e.g. reviews pages, new articles) here at EN World itself. They diligently report your affiliate status reviews in the reviews section as and when those reviews are posted. If they stumble across something else during their everyday web browsing, then they may throw that into the mix as well. [i][b]Fans[/b][/i] provide the scoops. The newshounds report [i]what people tell them about[/i] by posting a scoop (as you have done in the past). There are fans out there who kindly scoop RPG.net reviews or Mortality.net reviews, and the newshounds then put those scoops into the day's news. Sometimes specific reviewers at Mortality etc. will scoop their own reviews (I know Kithmaker does this), much like you do. Nobody at EN World is giving your website any less attention than any other, excepting WotC's (who, I think you'll agree, are worth making the exception for). You're percieving a bias against your website where none exists. Anyway, that all said, I respect your decision. Just to be clear, would you confirm that you wish me to remove your status as an affiliate reviewer because, as yet, I've had no such request from you? [/QUOTE]
