People aren't generally quick to announce to the world that they've made a purchasing decision they regret. Also once you've given someone $900 or so, you're not quick to bash them in public, since they're the only person on earth that can make that investment worth anything.

word of mouth is reliable in theory, not so much in practice.
While you make some great points, I agree most people never like to admit they made a bad purchase, it is not true people were not posting bad reviews and shitty work from JV only until after the fire. My turbo experience thread had it all way before it. Also the FF kit leaking and requiring a paid upgrade was also subject to criticism before it. So while its true that a lot of people don't like to admit bad purchases, there is also a percentage of users that really don't care and just want to help share their experiences in hopes future customers make a more informed decision. :happy0180:
