Ustwo- that's a damn good idea. Everyone loves porn, and the slamming it shut part will weed out those that love porn but are lazy moochers. (That's how I started looking around-trying to get to those 250 posts, dammit.) Lurkette has a point about the same threads and not being quite so "involved" after one gets jaded to the same discussions. But I think we should not forget to dance with the one that brung ya. (Hell, our founder was/is in the porn business) Porn brings in a great cross section of society, and I'm not sure that the TFP would be the same if it continued to evolve into a forum populated by people that were interested in a cool online community.
As an analogy- think about Gilligans Island. Bimbos, sailors, intellectuals, (loan officers, dentists, goth girls, etc..) Now think about a different island populated mostly by polynesians that had grown up there after their ancestors migrated across the ocean, and maybe a few beach bums and people looking for an enlightening online community. The second island, while nice, is not nearly as interesting or entertaining as the one with all the different characters.
I say open the flood gates for a month or so, and for every 100 moochers that flee after slamming the door shut, hopefully we'll get a good one or two interesting characters to stay.
