Probably, while there were some aspects of the review I do find with fair criticism that can be helpful, like I've seen them say that one forum had a confusing layout, and things like that, there's a few criticisms I've seen that were a tad bit silly.
There's a bit of unfairness that they dock points because you're using a free host, which I notice there's a sense of discrimination on that site for people who can't afford a paid site. Another one docked points because they recognized they were using a free theme, and didn't bother customizing it.
Another review I've seen where they're complaining that the site has a small user community, and they docked points and just said "get more users", if only it were that easy. Another one complained that the forum owner wasn't a native English speaker and told them to hire a translator to translate their posts. It's also silly when some complain that people post in their general discussion forum, I guess they've never realized that the general discussion forum of pretty much any forum tends to be the most used forum. While I did understand some of the concern, that if you have a specific topic for your forum, you should focus on threads in that topic, but it is kind of silly to complain that people enjoy the general discussion forum, that's part of how the community is made.
I could say more, but there's a lot of silly factors, or unfair factors. It seems like all the reviewers were a bunch of forum snobs
