Thank you Kevin.
So, Kevin. As this forum is yours. Please tell us why you stopped the Pipe Babes.
because he wants the site taken seriously and if he wanted to run a niche fetish site he could just go all instead of spending his resources on something that has almost zero return. Funny how much easier it is to say why not do this thing, when you aren't the one footing the bill.

Well thank you, Bob.
But just to be clear here. I don't recall anybody saying that he (Kevin) had to "this thing, when you aren't footing the bill".
I had simply asked what happened to the Pipe Babes.

Perhaps delightfully buxom Gloria from Montana got bullied off the forum by double chinned middle aged pervs, despite her degree in human psychology. Its a shame because perhaps Gloria could have provided some interesting insight into tobacco blends, and how to tamp a canted bowl, whilst at the end of a telephoto lens in the dimly lit surrounds of a smoky jazz bar in sultry Florida.

and the simple and direct answer is too little return in fact almost no return. A waste of time and resources. And it's easy to not really think about how much something like that costs when you aren't the one putting it out.

Thank you Kevin.

I originally started the pipe babes as my vision for the site as an online magazine had it fitting into the larger realm of men's magazines, ala Maxim, where eye candy is part of the content.

Later, I realized that we weren't really in that larger world, and then it just boils down to economics - money going out without a clear ROI. There was really no down side to discontinuing the pipe babes, and no upside to spending the money creating that content.

As is usual, the reality is always more boring than the speculation.
