i disagree with your disagreement--the industry people who left were more than adequately replaced by kami, melissa, ivor, bishop, tyler, etc.

the ones that left weren't saying much interesting anyhow and were often closer to the bottom of the porn foodchain than the top.

let's look at it this way---there's a finite number of industry people with the interest and ability to be active on a board. then that figure is cut down to about 1/20 when you're talking about ones that are interested in doing anything but pumping product. then you figure adt will list a star who posts less than 20 tiimes on their splash page, so there's a graveyard of accounts created then posted a handful of times. right now, i'm not sure xxxpt is missing someone in the industry that adt has who you'd actually WANT to post here. adt lets you hawk stuff without facing ugly questions no matter their merit. people here have gotten smarter since last january-you've got arab, toe, chicken, bornyo tanta's and tons more who you can reasonably assume to be of unusual intelligence. hell, there are two harvard grads here now--not a single core adt poster has an ivy-league degree to the best of my knowledge. it takes an audience of smart people to make fun of dumb people.

until sometime in late spring this place was a bunch of bitter adt-refugees last january now it's mentioned on luke's site almost weekly and adultfyi around every month--the userbase is up and the relevancy is up to the point luke goes here for material. he wouldn't do that if there wasn't anything being said that was interesting.

there's a limit to how long you can talk strictly about porn--i see you in AWOP plenty.
