So, if they’re remaining anonymous, should we assume that doing a whois on the domain will give some anonymous name and contact info?

Jackson: To answer this question… we’re bound to be found out someday :) But you’re going to have to trust us. If that’s possible.

I know it seems odd, but we are not doing this for any kind of glory. We want people to just read the reviews and commentary and react to them. We are often at shows, conventions, and industry whatevers, we’d rather have real conversations than be pitched sites to review… plus we just don’t want that kind of attention…

We promise that we will be responsible. This is one reason why we chose laughing squid as our provider. It’s about having fun but with integrity.

As far as us writing about our own projects, it’s not going to happen. That may be a way for people to discover who we are… by observing what we don’t review. :)

I hope this makes sense. I understand your skepticism, I would be too. But we’re going to do our best to keep things real.

Thanks for commenting and take care.

Nice company you’re keeping – Coke, McDonalds and Pepsi.

Okay, so they remain anonymous, and not disclose their ties to companies? How do I know if someone isn’t writing about their own company or project in a flattering light? And if anonymous, why not divulge insider secrets? I’m not sure I understand.
