My guess is that reading Faynor led to the old "pornicopia" blog by that publicist who was writing a book which led to finding the only real porn board worth reading. I too was enamored of Ashley Blue, but originally signed up as Smut Fiend and then forgot my password. Ever since then damaged has seemed right.
XXXPT is the only board with a real community because no government (at least very little government) and very little censorship allows us to police ourselves. This in turn makes it our place, our board. Jeff and Tony et al deserve much credit.
And, of course, Holly is here.
