Doing reviews in exchange for products...

I can see your point.

It's no different than requiring a number of posts to enter giveaways, sharing something on facebook for entries, or numerous other stipulations that many people have no problem with. I doubt many people are doing these reviews purely for adding a product on their shelf, why would they? Why waste time on something you won't ever use again? Just enjoy someone taking time out of their day to test a product, share their experience with others as they try to learn as much as they can on a variety of products.
 
Todd, I am happy you brought this up. I couldn't agree more that full disclosure is necessary. I use the reviews from all over the Internet to assist me when I am looking at new products. I focus on AGO and Autopia Forums and know that I can get unbiased feedback instead of slanted reviews found across the web. I am very happy that Autopia Forums has been kept "open" to all products, rather than just the ones offered by AG and ACC. I have no problem that AGO is just for products offered, but am happy that the products not yet offered by PBMG can be reviewed and discussed by AF members.

Only one thing to say: :autopia:

Thank you for the feedback! Yes AF is open to all product discussion and exists to freely share opinions, processes and techniques. We even allow debates so long as they remain civil and constructive. :bigups
