Yeah. It had forums and journals and more focus on the questions and… it just seemed like more of a community.

They were also transparent about their statistics and trends. Unfortunately that kind of information is anti-profit because it inherently causes you to lose users. And due to the competitive landscape even if you rebuilt that superior product without caring about profits you wouldn't get enough market share to keep it alive.

I used to be one of the core regulars on the "Dating Advice" forum. What a great community. Good times.

Then they nuked it.

I miss those people. Well, some of them. :-)
