I don't have numbers and I can't speak for that. Jay is correct that the forum was booming back in the day. I can't speak about if membership is up or down since I don't have those numbers. I can only tell you the feedback I get from members that don't participate on this board.
I still chat on occasion with many ex-members. Their feedback is that
Broke Straight Boys has changed so much and they don't like the changes and prefer to see "real straight boys" having gay sex and don't like the new format. The ex-members were active on this forum but don't like
Broke Straight Boys as it is today, which has nothing to do with this forum.
The other feedback I get is from current members that have reached out to me either on Twitter or Facebook, privately and they just don't like the comments from the current members that post here on this forum so they are members, they enjoy the models and the changes but they are not here for the forum, just to watch the porn.
This is just a handful of guys that I talk to and it doesn't justify the full membership. I think what Jay wrote is correct, many are lazy to sign up again for the forum but I like to add that the majority of the members will leave scene comments on the video and that is it, and that doesn't reflect the full membership. I think the majority of the members that watch
Broke Straight Boys, just watch it, get their "rocks off" and move on to other sites they just enjoy the actual sex between two hot guys and I don't think they really care about the theme of the site or if the model filmed for another site prior or afterward, I don't think most members or people that watch porn really go into a forensic investigation regarding a model and their whereabouts....its just porn.
