It's about community.

The theme, or make up of the community can be anything as long as there's a shared interest or something that all of the members have in common. There is room for several adult industry communities.

Oprano in the past has been the home of the old guard. Even those who have not been in the industry for 8+ years who gather here are typically more mature, a bit older, a bit more seasoned in business in general. This is also what has made it a bit tough on newbies here. They have to gain some respect before they truly fit in.

Now bring in some paid posters and start generating threads and messages just for the sake of increasing message count and clutter up the message base with inanities from people that the core audience has ZERO respect for, and you basically run your existing community off. I have no idea what the previous management was thinking, maybe they honestly thought you can build a community full of people's whose interest is free hats and mugs.

Dunno, but it didn't work....the board was frankly unreadable.

Nothing personal against Nick....he tried something, it didn't work, he cut bait. No big deal.

Joe and GonZo will try something different. Might work, might not. Time will tell. But so far, the board seems more vibrant than it did a month ago.
