I agree with this. I came over from MF and check both sites once a day, or more -- more out of distracted habit than anything else. I do feel sentimental towards Max just because I have been on there since the very beginning and have had some personally important conversations there. Also, when 9/11 happened, there was a subforum and it was a place to go and share. Generational change of the kind you cite, politics, trolling, disrespect towards dommes have hurt it a lot, though.

I do like writing and thinking about DS and the particular dynamics of experiencing that in the pro scene so I would write and comment more. But at the same time, I've been doing this a long time, and not nearly as active these days, and feel that I have hashed out a lot of questions over the years. I'm conscious of just repeating myself.
