I call BS on this. An actual review site wouldn't post this in public, it would send notice privately to the admin. And it wouldn't claim that Amia isn't going to be listed on their site, when actually it is listed on their site but just gets trashed for a paragraph. (And it would spell "ratings" correctly.)
I got a dollar that says this is a banned player whining for attention and being as passive-aggressive about it as possible.

In fact, with ridiculously simple digging, you're entirely correct.

My heart weeps at this news. However, I took this as an opportunity to do a little reviewing myself.
Foreverwinter Nights is poorly structured and formatted review website, rife with incorrect spelling and grammar. The apparent lack of proper editting or collaboration between 'reviewers' ( who are questionably unqualified to perform their role, given an apparent lack in credentials) leads the presented reviews to be difficult to read with any level of seriousness. It is reasonable to assume that in post-production, a number of spelling mistakes may be made, but given that Foreverwinter Nights is attempting to provide professional evaluation, using an internet spell-checker and then calling it a day simply doesn't cut it.
A clear and heavy bias is present when reading the reviews from Foreverwinter Nights. Servers with loose and more flexible rules are praised, while servers that present a stricter, more structured experience are scorned, implied to be draconian. While personal taste is obviously an important part of any evaluation, having it play such a major part in what is attempting to be a professional review is simply not acceptable, as it colours any impression that might be made by the reader.
The site provides no clear categories for their reviews, nor does it present any way for a reader to see information on the server for themselves, despite the ease of providing a simple link to the official websites of these servers. Even the 'Top 5' servers (three of which appear to be posted in the incorrect location, judging from the section headings) do not recieve this treatment, having only an IP Address instead.
In regard to website design, Foreverwinter Nights appears as if unfinished. The headings of multiple sections are identical, the layout of the pages leads to text being covered by banner ads and the page selection bar is inaccurate. If the web-designer(s) who worked on this project had spent more time on the construction of the site, this may have helped to alleviate some of these flaws, as well as improve the overall image of the site as a whole.
In conclusion, Foreverwinter Nights is a review-website whose unprofessional conduct, poorly written reviews and evidently incomplete web design make for a lackluster reading experience that is largely uninformative. If they wish for a second evaluation after they improve on these issues, they are welcome to request one. However, as it currently stands, I am unable to give them a higher overall score than 3 out of 10 (3/10).
