By old site statics this site is mostly users from the USA. A distant second is the UK.

You need to encourage those from other countries to even get more Asian content.

@DeWayfarer yes.. but in EP there were quite a few Phillipines and Hongkong users.

@YOHah They had twice the number of users. Half didn't even come here.

And that was over nine years ago.

Legally, by USA laws, EP had to close. It was a USA based site. Not an Asian based site. This site is as well a USA based site. It must abide by USA laws.

What happened to EP is what happens when a USA company doesn't follow USA laws.

@DeWayfarer right . What was the violation EP did ?

@YOHah I believe the context caused an unfortunate death.

@DeWayfarer oh ok. Got it. But strange..
@YOHah I've heard multiple different versions of why it closed. I wasn't here, so just taking other word and the Internet

Two seem to be the most commonly claimed
1) Illegal 🚬 trafficking
People using it to buy and sell

I haven't found this next one on the Internet, but I think a number of people have claimed it.

2) Due to health issue, someone wanted to ☠ and someone else, with consent, helped them with their goal and therefore assisted ☠

@DeWayfarer not related to this post but can you tell me why ep was closed??

@Looneybeans[ @Looneybeans] Multiple reasons. Yet the death of a minor was the final blow. They couldn't possibly justify it.

A lot was going on that even the regulars didn't know about.

One example was on this site for a short while. There was a nudist post with thousands of comments with nude images.

Now think about this. There was no censoring of images on EP for minors. Heck that group was open to even non users.

Even this site had to get rid of that whole group. Explicit images are not condoned on this site. And there was thousands of them.

I saw this group myself on this site. Most of the images were posted before this site opened.

The whole group no longer exists. I believe they finally removed it a couple of years after this site opened. Long before the group restructuring.

Oh and yes some posts from EP were visible back then. Some people did import their own posts from EP. Even one post or comment would reinstate a group.

That all changed in the group restructuring. Those that did the import can still see their own EP posts. Yet nobody else can see it.

This as well was why the restructuring absolutely had to be done. Despite everyone's objections. They couldn't allow any type of illegal activity to be visible.
