Not sure.
Just getting real.... here's the core problem. Features like the Broker and Software ratings systems are intensive to keep up and running. We have to constantly deal with fake reviews and then we have to deal with complaints from the Brokers or software providers about reviews they are disputing as being factually incorrect. That would all be OK if we were actually making some cash from our efforts in those areas but the reality is that we've never made any money whatsoever from those features. In fact, if anything, they've been a huge pain in the ass to maintain. So now that we've removed those features and seen basically no dropoff in traffic whatsoever since doing so, I'm not really that motivated to bring back something that causes us headaches and brings in no revenue whatsoever.

Baron,
I have used those Broker Ratings extensively. I am sure most people here on Elitetrader do. How else are we going to, firstly, know whose out there, and secondly, what kind of service they have. The members' input is invaluable, and this feature is a great plus for the forum. Please reconsider.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Maybe the brokers could ADVERTISE on Elitetrader?
Also, there already are forums for brokers. Retail Firms and Prop firms.
Factual incorrect?? I guess just negative reviews are complained to be incorrect while positive ones are not complained to be incorrect. *lol*
Then go to regular work if you don't make any money instead of laying on your couch and waiting for something to happen. And removing negative reviews made by users because sponsors are asking for it is actually real fake. It makes whole reviews pointless and biased.
