whilst it's easy to recall the old days fondly (back when i was a lurker), i agree that xpt now is nowhere near as fun as it used to be. it's now overrun with people i don't like and don't care about; most threads i just scan to find posts by the people i find interesting and ignore the rest.

the worst thing for me is that so many posters think they have to be mean, depraved and misanthropic to post here, even when clearly they are not like that in real life. i guess i need to accept that people who are not industry who want to post on a porn board are most likely boring losers.

having said all that, i'll keep reading and posting, as if anyone cares.
