I joined XPT because people are free to call a spade a spade, and they can speak their mind/spill their guts rather than having to pretend that everything and everyone is great.

Whilst many people say the standard has declined somewhat (which it probably has, given the departures of Monkey, james, Arab et al), it is still light years ahead of not only other porn forums, but most discussion forums as well. The acute lack of heavy-handed 'picks up the mod stick' moderation is what makes XPT fun
