    Because:

    • It doesn't pay for itself. The cost has been borne by cynthetiq and Martian, for the most part.
    • There are lots of other places that do exactly what the EZ does, only better.
    • We don't like attaching our TFP brand to what is exclusively a porn site.
    • It's overrun with spammers from time to time.
    • Because it's more hassle than it's worth.
    • It adds exactly nothing to the rest of TFP.

    from a software perspective:

    I have to keep up with knowledge of 2 different forum packages. It wasn't such a big deal when it was the same, but there is a big difference now.
    Patching software for security is important but it's hard to do 2x.

    From a server management perspective:
    There are 2 different servers that we keep because we don't want TFP to be shut down because of porn. It's still something that can shut the servers off. at a moment's notice. Even hotlinking today is very contested where a DMCA request can have the ISP pull a whole server because of a link to an image that resides on someone else's server. Sucks but it happens all the time.
    Costs are more for the 2 servers.
    Administration of 2 servers.

    sad, brings back memories of my lurking at the start.
    but I understand.

    kudos for keeping it up even this long, :cool:
    many don't accomplish that, even the big ones.
    and another long-time island/site goes underneath the waves of the huge dynamic net ocean...time moves on...

    Baraka_Guru and I are at an impasse on funding healthcare for the_jazz

    But seriously, in addition to what Jazz and Cyn said, I'm going to quote a couple of excerpts of what I said in our internal discussion detailing why I voted to shut it down. Props to bobby and Bilbert for running it after the spinoff, and thanks to everyone for contributing, but I couldn't rationalize supporting any other decision.
    I'm not taking shots at anyone with the "someone who we cannot guarantee will keep it secure" line, just stating that it's a bad practice to give private TFP data to someone other than the person we rely on to manage TFP's hardware and software infrastructure. Like any truly skilled sysadmin, Martian does more than the userbase ever sees or knows to keep this place running.

    Again on the personal data, and bringing up the intellectual property angle. It seems silly on the surface, but each post is someone's work, and to strip away attribution for someone's work leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Most people probably wouldn't care, but I do.

    Thanks all,
    I remember I contributed a bit, and I'm only here on TFP rarely anyway,
    but the art of some of those posts was like fresh air compared to what manufactured "else" is out there on the internet along that vein.


    Speaking of vane,
    Can someone point me to some of these?

    Perhaps post 15 in this thread would be helpful.

    Oh good, if I remember correctly from previous versions of the forum, it requires a certain number of posts to access?

    Yes, but more importantly the Powers That Be At TFP examine the quality of the posts not just the quantity.
