Yes the activity is down. People are busy trying to figure out which ads are real versus the fakes. It is a shame on how many ads are being posted with stolen pictures.

What you'll find is that it is fairly rare for someone to stick around this board for more than a year or two. As a result there are ebbs and flows in the level and tenor of the activity as new people come on board and others leave.

That being said, it is obvious that the alarm back toward the end of the year had a huge impact in thinning the herd. Are you crazy? I don't know. But are you paying attention? Some folks have had some very real legal problems.

things always slow down over the holidays.  Providers ofter go home for a few weeks, and all the credit card bills from Christmas are coming in.  Things will pick up in a few weeks.

And I know a lot of ladies that tour here on a regular basis are avoiding DC for a while.  Of course one reason  the board appears slower is we no longer have the weekly ads from 3 or 4 agencies that listed schedules and pics for all of their ladies.  Actually I don't miss that.
