I have never found the reviews of products on either of the Canadian fish boards (canreef & bcaquaria) to be biased towards sponsors. I have seen reviews written about products sold by sponsors and non-sponsors. I think that being Canadian boards, there is an expectation by the members & admin of fairness and not to have "paid" reviews that are based on the all-mighty dollar.
Canadian reefers also seem to stay away from this kind of BS. For myself, if I post that something is good, its because I have found it to be good, not because it is from a sponsor. I think almost everybody here has that same attitude towards truth in our reviews or opinions of products. Its our own reputations at stake. Like if we go around telling newbies to buy an inferior skimmer just because it is being promoted by a sponsor, then that newbie will be mad at us (not the sponsor) once the truth is known.
Just my $.02.
