"Due to the persecution of Apnea, Lithium Picnic and anyone that associates with them; the manner in which they changed legal contracts; the resale of sets to other porn sites; the favouritism displayed for some SGs over others; their frivolous lawsuits against competing sites; and various other things that came along with it turning into a business, I have finally decided to discontinue my membership to this website."

That's what I've put in all the messages I've sent out to people I wouldn't mind staying in touch with after I'm gone. Manko made me think some more about why I'm doing this, and I've come to the conclusion that corporate behaviour really turns me off. Every time I came here, every time I heard about some new drama, it eroded my desire to look at the naked ladies present. I started having to make a concerted effort to look at the sets, ending up by going through the ones I'd missed once a month. Then I gave up and stopped bothering altogether. I've seen more nudity in journals over the last few months.

The community is the only reason I've stuck around, and it just isn't enough. Not when there's email and instant messaging, and perhaps even... *gulp* ...myspace.
