i search it with some regularity though it is admittedly a bit tedious. about all i use eraps for. to research old posts/providers/stories of old in order to post an accurate reply to something new here on ECCIE. it's essentially just an historical archive for me now. never posted anything new in eraps. still view whatever history exists there as something of hallowed ground which I will continue to avail myself of.

confining myself to ASPD worked amazingly well until it simply wasn't there anymore. the last week was a total scream tho. like being in Hitler's bunker the final 24 hours. funny shit.
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.
