Look what happened to ECCIE when ASPD failed it exploded and a lot of data was lost until Eraps popped up with the old reviews but since it can't be searched, it remains barely usable.

Heck, I just got an invite that AHC is back up with a new URL and I know some folks involved in the site who are good guys. I might have to go take a look around there again.

the biggest thing this thread should do is to let folks know that confining yourself to one site didn't work out very well with ASPD and to think it is a good idea to limit yourself to only one now means you are following the same flawed logic and may want to reconsider.

in the end IMO the best elements of ASPD almost immediately shifted to ECCIE and in pretty much no time at all pretty much everyone else followed. It's not so much the site as it is the community and the soul of the community that was once ASPD landed here from where I sit. Just looked and felt right from day one. You knew you'd found a home. Ownership and staff to their credit seem to be managing to keep the harsher elements down to a dull roar though they too are essential to the community to a degree. i'll stick to flawed logic since it's my preferred type anyway.
