first off, I'm not on anyone's side here, but after looking at the review dates/scores:

02/25/06: Review follow-up completed. Score = 80.1
09/01/04: Review follow-up completed. Score = 80.8
12/07/03: Official review completed. Score = 75.9

do you think the scores went down because (even though you've updated your content & integrated suggestions) there may be lots of other sites that have done the same as you (or more) and have outpaced you. perhaps now, you have more solid competitors than before? with more interaction? with better conversion & retention rates? perhaps reviewers & consumers expectations have grown over that 2 year span? not trying to discount the changes you may have made, but if you look at the race between Friendster & MySpace, Friendster NEVER SAW IT COMING. no one did. in fact, MySpace wasn't even in the race, then they became a late entry and passed everyone in a blink of an eye. in fact, Friendster still doesn't know what hit them (fortunately they have patents in place) but perhaps same situation here... in the mainstream game, the competitive landscape has changed dramatically in such a short time, and most likely the adult industry mirrors that change. there are SO many single girl sites, single girl networks, etc... that you guys competing in the same marketspace must constantly update and innovate every single "day & way" you can... just to be a player in the game... winning's a whole different story.
