It is not just in Houston. The board started dying a slow death years ago as far as active and stimulating conversations, lots of guys posting reviews, ect. There have been several factors, but the taking away ads for providers, the switching up the criminal act of prostitution to a felony in Texas and the way the board switched from welcoming all to where most members are non-participating lurkers (always a bad sign on an internet chat board), scared to join or start a conversation in fear of being labeled by the anointed cool kids are just a few reasons for that.
Socials were cool until some joined in and decided to take pictures of others, outing them in the process among other things was a big factor of them falling apart.

I can certainly understand that removing ads created less activity from ladies. And you're right about the lurking. I get messages from those who are not active on the board for the reason you mentioned.
Maybe a small gathering where all phones are off and no photos. Either way, anyone interested send me a PM. I'll be out of town until November, so that will give me time to plan something small for then.
