Grow the fuck up!

This is/was a website where people exchanged ideas and shared their work. The forums have descended into troll vs. troll, with the same group of lonely, bored old men posting jabs at each other or posting their political views in the echo chamber.

YOU have run off all the people for whom this site was intended to be useful.

First about the trolling.  I was accused of trolling a model who trolled the very three posts that I had made!  I don't know how one can troll their on posts, but that is what happened. She commented on my posts, but I am the one creating "toxic positivity!"   So I did time in the brig.  The fact is that we are still "friends" and I owe her money.  She is no longer posting on the forums.  It was not my intention to sway models from posting.  I'm sorry.

The forums have become a shadow of what it used to be.  There are many reasons for this, but the most obvious is a lack of new members, especially models joining hurts this website.   While the long time members leaving for various reasons does not help either.  It's NOT the moderators job to promote this website. Marketing is NOT in their job description.   The addition of other social platforms for discussion and messaging is just one reason. 

Other reasons include the website not keeping up with the new social media sites.  The previously added categories to the forums that go for weeks, even months without any posts or comments.  The most surprising lack of activity for me is the MM Market which has not had a comment since Jun 16 23!  Not one commnet!  I know this because I was the last one to comment.  Another slow one is Hair, Makeup & Styling .. why it's surprising to me is that market places are usually popular, so popular in fact that Facebook created one. Maybe that's the problem?  Modelmayhem has not kept up with the times. 

Many of the formerly active members from the past are "friends" on Facebook and Instagram!  The Modelmayhem App was a disaster.  Only Fans is taking a huge portion of the models from this site, and guess what?  Only Fans does not really have an App.  Things are slowing down all over on social media except for the subject of politics.  Trumpism was like a huge vacuum that sucked all the air out of the room. I think we are about ready for the new big thing.
