In reply to Peter Knight (@peterrknight).

Thanks for the insight, Peter! I agree that a good theme review site would include reviews from users in-the-trenches. I hope to support user reviews in the future. On the individual author pages (they're hard to find now, but will be featured more prominently in the future) it lists what year the theme company was established, which should help a little with the danger of short lived theme companies.

You may be right in terms of the affiliate model being broken for this sort of thing. I guess time will tell. One of the main goals of this project was to give people an idea of the code quality being produced by commercial theme shops, and by doing so, to encourage theme shops to produce better themes. So even if I never make a dime, there are other things that I feel would make this project a success. Thanks again for your thoughts!
