before, it was a very independently run website with a smaller audience and less smut and junk on it. now it's an smut producing, crap pedelling advertising machine. when it was run by tom (maybe a year or two ago) the only people that used it was college kids and some bands. now there are tons of internet porn profiles that advertise, young kids, and profiles for corporate products. i'm not typically one to whine about people "selling out" but in this case it has ruined what once was a good site. but, at this point it seems to be as popular as ever. how unfortunate...
