DVD Profiler

My review of the DVD Profiler site.
Link


This is the site for the DVD inventory program that I use for my DVD collection. I think it's the best DVD inventory program on the market today.

It's a well laid out site that is very user friendly.

You can learn more about the program and it's features as well as download a trial version of the program too.

If you're already a user of the program then the most useful portions of the site are the following.

My Profiler which basically allows users to set their settings, view messages, view the status of any of their own contributions and even view their own collection online.

Database which allows users to vote on contributions and to also view their own contributions. Also provides links to the Contribution rules and a Credit Lookup Tool.

Forums: From a newbie to a long time user this is the place to ask questions about contributions and to help others who maybe confused about a certain credit or aspect of the program. The users are extremely helpful.


Not only is the program first rate, but so is the website.

My final rating: A

Chris-Marquette.com Review

The following is a review of the following site.

If you are a fan of Chris Marquette then this is one of the best sites for you to visit.
It has loads of info about him and his career. Plus tons of pictures of the actor, some of which are exclusive to the site.

For that portion of the site I give it a solid A-.


However, the bad part of the site has to be the forum. Which can be found at the following link.

Except for a few die-hards on the forum, there are actually very few that post of the forum.
The message board can go hours without a single posting and according to the bottom there are at times as many as around a hundred people who aren't even members who are just lurking there.
The die-hards tend to be mostly female and are real die-hard fans of Chris. At least one member can't stand a certain actor and if you bring him up you will likely get into a fierce and mean debate that could result in being banned.
They claim to allow all types of posting on their message board, but the reality is far from it. It seems that you are required to actually be a fan of Chris Marquette before you can join and post on their message board. If you aren't and don't post about him and only post about entertainment related subjects then you are disliked.

Most of the actual members are quite nice and polite, it's the administrators who I found to be unprofessional, rude and self-righteous. It's their behavior that really speaks volumes and in a way tarnishes any good will that Chris may have gained with me.

And one of the moderators recently posted this about censorship on their board.
"He specifically thinks we censor people we don't like. Well, yes we do."

I wouldn't recommend the message board section of their site at all.

Message board rating F.
