It has also been rumored that there were security breaches that went beyond account hijacking. And the administrators had been posting as if they were concerned re member posts that might potentially get them charged with compromising LE operations. There was also a very slanderous member vs. member post a night or so before the shutdown that wasn't deleted for a time. Throw in a few wild cards like the (remote?) possibility of someday getting charged as an accessory, etc. to whatever the charge might be if an underaged provider was reviewed & thereafter "met" by a number of members & you can understand why a purportedly ordinary pooner guy like TEK might shut a site down & honestly say "After much consideration, the risk versus reward is just not worth it".
