Icobench become my favorite site to check how trusted an ICO project and looking good information about bounty campaign, some time I got many coin received payment from bounty campaign and getting good information from ICObench, but very sadness when ICO bench have stop working and not update new ICO information rating score.

Yes it is. This platform rarely giving a new update about the latest ico since someone has already revealed its scam business and after more and more icos were not interested to work with ico bench caused by its reputation has already ruined

People lost their trust on review sites especially ICObench because bitcointalk community exposed they are giving fake reviews and decieving investors money and also not much of legit bounties are active so they have no reason to be existing here.

Exactly, something similar happened with all the ICO rating sites out there.

You have to understand that this is not like S&P or Moodys where they rate Bonds. Even they are heavily bribed to keep those bonds on the top, but nobody is there to investigate and punish them. Here the impetus comes from the community, where people are seeing the failure that ICOs and IEOs have been.

Added to that is the worthlessness of the tokens that have been sold. ICObench even used a "Premium" system to list new ICOs on top of their page for more viewership. All these things led to some problems within the community and thus you can understand how it went down.

I am sure they are still there just their digital footprint is lagging now. I am also sure they will be back soon with a new persona.

The website's purpose is to give ratings to upcoming or current ICOs. But what's with ICOs these days? it's not a question anymore because we are all aware that there are no longer good ICO this time. The market for ICO started to become low and that's one guess that you can consider for why ICO bench became inactive.
They have no more customers to be reviewed since the community is no longer dealt with ICOs.

I hope ICObench is not dead because this is the place where I look for reviews of ICO that I'm interested to support. My guess is that maybe there is no good ICO to review that's why it's quiet these past months.

If you dont see any updates or activeness from them then you can presume out already that they are dead which isnt really that a surprising thing.Why?
ICO market is dead and theres no reason for them to continue their service on listing out projects since most of them wont really be paying up something
just for them to be reviewed or getting listed and also people wont really be visiting out these kind of places just for them to check out ICO investment recommendations.
So its just normal for them to stop operation due to this kind of situation where ICO era is already dead.

maybe they don't receive any new project want to be listed in that website to make a ratings .

And other reasons I think is because there is only few project make by Feb this year until now this is just another reasons why they can't add a new project.

I didn't even notice that until seeing this post. Seem the ICO market is dead and they have no project coming there way because of their fee. They are known to have misled investors with their fake reviews. All they care after is money and less research about project after that.
They could do a little rebrand and name themselves IEObench.

True! Ive watched how they really took advantage of the 2017-2018 ICO fever. Moreover their advisers likely do some feedback only on those paid ICOs. I remember there is a project called TradeIO which is good but on their ratings it really low value but its not shocking cause they only give positive ratings on thosw who paid them.

They are really accepting money to post good review. I work with one of there advisors and he tell that issue that's why he leave so that he can protect his reputation. Imagine there are a of failed/exit scam that get a 5.0 rating there and there ratings is also affected by the advisors feelings itself.

 I remember when I work to some project and my task was to list project there for ICO promotion. One of the advisors has some past arguments to my boss and he gave us a 2.0 rating while others gave 4.8 on average.

They are totally shit benchmark website for ICO because they didn't screen there panel at all. They hire whoever a member of a well-known project even though that project is garbage. I think they will even hire Carlos Matos if he apply there.

I think ICO rating websites will definitely be out of business, no one use them anymore because they can't be trusted, if they are inactive already then they've know that there are lesser traffic on their websites, ICOs are done

[btcltcdigger]

Considering they were basically a paid promo site for ico's, no wonder they're out of business.

Only 1 in 10 ico's today is legit, and scam ico's (those cheap scams mind you) don't invest money anymore in fake reviews.

Basically yeah but they had a very comfortable way of finding and tracking ICOs.

Good thing that ICObench completely shut down for good. The only left with strong rating site is ICOdrops and also they are active on telegram channel and keeps sharing news and article on different cryptocurrent events. I like how they handle more than this rating site.

I used it more often before to check ratings of the projects but seen how unfair their ratings given stopped it a long time already.

they arent dead because thier site is still functioning i just check it now because i got curious .  for me dead means the site was totally offline but if the site is still working that means they still have a plans  . not familiar with the site but they say its a review site for ico , means they must review all kinds of ico and not just the good one . they shouldnt be biased because people will doubt on them . not seeing a good ico to review isnt the reason why they dont give updates

If a business doesn't receive contract for a long, what do you think would happen to it? It's going to shut. Rebranding is the best option here because if they continue to expect to get an ICO that will will list on their site, they might not get any, and they will run out of money because they will pay their workers and do maintenance.

Icobench dot com is alive and running perfectly but with low updates, I guess this is happening because there aren't new ICO projects anymore, IEO took over but icobench team aren't that showing interest
