Guest jwsmilin Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Could it be that the rise and fall of escort reviewing by Hooboy has similarities to the fleeting conquests of Alexander the Great? Both were like flaming comets, extinguished in the prime of their lives by premature illness. Both were able to attract loyal followers and pursue paths of their creative thoughts, regardless of the established social norms from which they came. Without their personalities and input, the aftermath of their empires collapsed upon their deaths. Was their respective success merely a temporary one, or would it have stood the test of time, had they lived to be 50,60,70,80 ? The vacuum felt at Hooboy's passing can be perhaps at least partially explained by a former loyal follower, Marc Anthony, who recently posted his transition into seeking relationwhips which do not necessarily require a sex experience and subsequent review. Could it be that our immediate universe of kindred souls is experiencing the same? Quote

I really don't know if it can explain any patterns or trends on this board or any other. It's just my personal experience. I don't know if Hooboy would have liked being compared to Alexander the Great (well actually having known him pretty well, maybe he would have liked it! hehe), but I know I certainly dont' think my leaving a place could create any kind of vacuum! But yes... if enough people find their own personal reason to participate less... it does become a noticable. The bottom line... for whatever reasons... more people are finding other things to do than there are new people jumping on board to take their place. That actually happens a LOT to novel things founded by pioneers that fills a need for only a tiny percentage of the population. It's mathematics. Initial offering... large influx of ENTIRE population that has accumulated up to that time. Over time, interest wanes for some, but only new members to the population can replace them, and that number is less. Example: 2 people at each group from 20 - 70 would enjoy this activity. Hooboy opens website, 100 people join. After that, only 1 new person from each age 20 -25 finds tinterest, and maybe one per decade after that (can't teach an old dog new tricks). So 15 new people each year. If 20 people lose interest each year... by 10 years down the road, the population of interested posters is cut in half. Ok.. shit. Now after that I really need to go back to Montreal!!!! I must be going crazy here. Quote

Guest jwsmilin Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Marc, you are absolutely correct, it is not a vacuum. Don't be distressed wherever you may be....did you know that Richard Simmons is available to fly to you? No need to go all the way to Montreal every time. Thanks for the mathematical probabilities.:+ Quote
Guest VoxPennae Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 I always perceived HooBoy more like Gandhi. :+ Quote
