    1 Star NOT so HOT: Once it was good but now it has fake profiles... 05/02/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages easy sign up, short profiles creation, good if all you want is to get rated

    Disadvantages Disadvantages don't go here for a date, buggy as hell, fake profiles trying to spam you

    Once, the hotornot.com website was run by two college kids from U.C. Berkeley in Calif.--Jim and James. Then, the sold out to a big corporation. Actually, I don't blame them for that--they made a bundle of money. But now the site has changed. It's full of fake profiles, and the new corp. owners don't fix obvious bugs (the geographical search is crap and brings up profiles not in your area), even though I've logged them (over a year ago). Not only that, their website went down recently--no one could log in for over a day. As a paying customer (had a subscription), I would have expected an ... more

    4 Stars I'm Hot... 10/01/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's a giggle!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It can be ego denting!

    "Your on Hot or Not?" "Erm why?" Rapidly followed up by "and what's yer score then?" Were the choice words used by Assethound when I casually mentioned as you do that I'd uploaded my photo on to HotorNot.com. Now you could be forgiven into thinking I was vain and needed the admiration of all those anonymous 10 givers but the truth was it was a bit of a dare, with the girls over on Chuckleweb so in the end a few of us put our photo's up to see if the rest of the online world thought we were hotties. This dare spawned a few new threads over on the chuckleweb forum as well as we daily updated our ... more

    4 Stars EGO TRIP OR PLAIN FUN.....YOU DECIDE 26/12/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Entertaining to a certain extent

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit slow

    Trawling through www.lyrics.astraweb.com, last night, looking for the words to some indecipherable songs I was listening to, I stumbled upon a link on the top of the web page showing a pic of a very pretty lady, with words to the effect 'rate me, hot or not?'. Out of complete curiousity (ahem, ahem), I clicked on the link and was transported to www.hotornot.com. The site is basically a medium for anyone of us out there to post a picture on the site and get other surfers passing through the site to vote how attractive you are on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being not so 'hot', and 10 being 'very hot') ... more

    5 Stars I'm, er, cold 18/11/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great fun, you can make new friends, and you get to laugh at ugly people

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A big ego buster, perhaps it's a bit too simple, and it can be boring after a while

    Let's face facts - the Internet isn't there to make us feel better. The majority of sites, you will find, take a curious pleasure in making net users feel a whole lot worse. If the web was there to cheer us up, dooyoo wouldn't have included 'Not Useful', Amazon wouldn't charge for postage, flashy sites would cater for cranky PCs like mine, and NTL wouldn't exist. AmIHotorNot.com (often know as just 'HotorNot') is a fine example of the web community's 'cheering down' attitude. For the unfamiliar, Hot or Not is a website that hosts a huge amount of pictures of ordinary people, for other people ... more

    5 Stars gorgeous web site 25/09/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Ego Booster, Great Fun, Excellent Layout

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow Server somtimes

    8 hours to wait, see if your fit enough to date hehe. Thats my motto for this creative site made by 2 american students. How the hell did they think of this? No One will ever know. Rating people for looks is simply ingenius and is a great ego booster. lets see how it works 1. You Submit Your Picture and wait for it to be reviewed 2. Over a few days you gradually get votes out of 1-10 3. your final score is returned (hot or not?) 4. If your not pleased with the score, then submit another photo 1. Submit A Photo - - - - - - - - - - Firstly, You have to sign up to the site. Its a quick easy ... more

    4 Stars Do You Think I'm Sexy 23/09/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages see review

    Disadvantages Disadvantages see review

    Amihotornot is a website which lets you send in photographs of yourself and have other site members rate your looks on a scale of 1 to 10. Sounds stupid and is as stupid as it sounds but you can waste a fair maount of time here looking and rating photos. Dont ask me what the appeal is. Well one appeal is that there is the overwhelming urge to rate everyone self obsessed enough to send a photo in very lowly to slap them down a peg or two. It seems that other site users seem to have the same thought because the ratings are generally quite low - mean bunch aren't we us humans. Never mind. The ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages superb fun, Gets ur ego going hehe, nice easy layout

    Disadvantages Disadvantages have to pay to meet people

    when the internet was first brought into play, who would of thought of this site? Well 2 american students did, and ever since its creation in 1999 its been nothing but a hit. Mentioned in magazines such as Time And New York Times, This has been a non-stop growing hit with everyone on the net. So, What is Hotornot? Well, Firstly you publish your picture on the website, then people visit and your picture gets shown, then they give you a rating out of 10, for your looks (yes! Looks! no more of this personality crap, LOOKS!, its what matters these days). then when you will get an overall score ... more

    3 Stars Why was i a 9.8 hehehe 19/09/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great Fun, Ego Booster

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Costly for membership, total votes unknown,slow server

    After you thought they could of done everything the internet has to offer then along came 2 geniuses! 2 guys thought of an idea to let people submit their pictures and then be rated based on looks. What a great idea! This can be a ego booster or a confidence looser.well for me it was a ego booster as i continually get into the 9's. Ok, heres the jist of it,(you have to be 18) firstly you get a picture of you and then sign up (which is very brief and quick and requires no personal information). Then you must store your picture on a seperate server as hotornot does not support storing pictures ... more

    4 Stars ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION, I NEED TO KNOW 08/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Inconspicuous way to find out if your hot or not

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow to load.

    hotornot.com is a web site dedicated to answering that very same question, am i hot or not? This site was formally known as www.amihotornot.com, but is now www.hotornot.com, so thats why the link you've been trying hasn't been working! The way it works is that you submit your photo to the site to be rated by other users. When someone views your photo they have a choice of rating it from 1-10 on good looks by using the rating meter above each photo. After a certain amount of views, your average rating is calculated, which determins whether you are hot or not. If you feel at any stage that your ... more
