I have actually heard this remark from many quality people in the industry in private IM, as well as at conferences. They simply do not post on GFY/boards anymore because they are do not want the drama or being trolled. Even when they are program owners, or old timers of the online adult industry.

They admit to still reading most boards, but a lot of those 'old guys' who were around long ago stopped posting because you can't say anything without there being an angle, or a scam, or an edge, or a sales pitch to it. Whether there is or isn't.

Shap made the same comment himself tail end of last year. Not just on here, but on another board as well. Talking about how many of the BROgram owners and people who used to contribute and trying to help people stopped posting. There is no sense trying to help people if you are going to be endlessly bashed. I can't blame them.

Those people stopped posting for any number of reasons.
