Well that's definitely true. I would wager that 90% of the people on this site are the kind of people who would start visiting a site because of its porn. That's a particular kind of person, you know? Not rare, necessarily, but particular. And it's made this site what it is. You get rid of the porn, and a) your big fishing lure is out of the water, and 2) the people who do come are people who want to argue or who want to emote or want to troll, they're not "our people"--people who come for porn and stay for community.
