It was supposed to be for the discussion of anime-related fat and inflation fetish material, but the only thing inflating seemed to be the egos of teenagers carving out their identities and people in their 20s having self-important irrelevant conversations about who was the most special of the special snowflakes.

It appeared to be something like 95% of that and perhaps only 5% fetish material, or am I misremembering?

I was actually just reflecting on pawg the other day (which is what lead me to coming and checking back here) and other things.

You're kinda right.
Like for sure it felt like most of the activity was in the spam thread/forum, but there were people consistently posting fatty stuff, just there were always the "gatekeepers" that would get pissy if you posted stuff they didn't like, which meant a lot of stuff didn't get posted, or just got posted the spam thread.

There was a lot of unnecessary drama (I didn't help in that regards, but mine was mostly reactionary instead of causing it on purpose, outside of the one time) because of egos clashing and people thinking that because they were an admin/mod on a fairly busy board, they were suddenly important and infallible.

There were good times and bad times, it felt like up to about 2007-2008 it wasn't super bad, there were more good than bad times for sure. But then A LOT of good people left and people like me and other dramawhores overwhelmed the normal people, and things just never got better.
