Let's face it.
Bro power is just not what it used to be.
(As an aside, I have always been very forthcoming about helping people out if asked for advice. I don't really worry about giving away secrets because there aren't really any. Sometimes folks take the advice and run with it - one example being Jeff from Busty Amateurs who listened to our advice and three month later we saw him blow up big time to the point where I had to admit a tinge of jealously...
However, most will never ever do much with the feedback, advice, consultation because when they realize actual work is involved they fall apart. And of course, in the BA story, the final chapter ended with the program going down in flames until it - and my jealousy for that matter - were fully extinguished.)

I agree most people who post to GFY " What do you think about my new site" or looking for a site review are not really here looking for advice, they want confirmation from others that the project they put together is great. They want praise not constructive criticism and advice on how to make it better.
However, large companies spending 10K's of dollars on a huge new projects, should seek expert advice and if they paying a decent amount for it, they should give it a lot of consideration. I'm not talking about, a phone call, or icq conversation but hiring someone to fly out to meet the employees, owners etc. spend a week with them in several meetings, going over the entire project type of advice. That is what I would do at least if I was starting a new large expensive project and had little experience in that particular area.
I do give them props for the site. It looks nice, is laid out well, software looks good. Overall I think they did a good job (except being so heavy with the ads right from the start). The concept is sound, and is proven to be a winner (cam4.com which the site is closely modeled around) has been around for 5+ years and have proves this concept works. It's just the execution was terrible and it is not conducive to affiliates the way it stands now, which since they are obviously looking for affiliates is a huge mess up.
It could be worst, camfuze.com says " Partner program: What are the ways I can receive my payment?
We pay through ePassporte."
