Woof! insane4boyz and Grant,
I read what you guys wrote in the attachment and thought that I
would join in with some words.
Some of us have been around BL groups for a very long time. These
times include time periods when we had at least six or seven active
pic groups like the Fort. And also where we had at least four or five
movie groups. Many of us periodically have contributed to these BL
newsgroups and in also various different time frames. We have
witnessed thousands and thousands of posts from almost every location
on earth.
Now for here in the Fort: It was very rare to have any continuous
floods of pics to the Fort. Posters would contribute sometimes with
even a single pic that was highly welcomed. And in some Fort time
periods we would have a single Fort Host like when Big Red came over
from Asparagus and anchored the Fort. And in another time period we
had Peter~Pan that served as the Fort Host for a very long time. And
then we had the volume pic posters like Pester who posted thousands
of original pics to The Fort and Asparagus. In one time period
Pester had so many pics that he enlisted other Fort posters to help
like KidHacker, Fort Kittens (Registered), etc. And then there was,
is, and always will be Cosmos who was born on this earth at around
the same time period as Methuselah . Now this Cosmos boy pic poster
has so many boy pics that he continuously floods the Fort and Johnie
Proudly Presents . Cosmos pics were highly prized by Methuselah and
followers. Cosmos pics are highly prized by every visitor to the
Fort. Cosmos name has name recognition in the Fort just like
Methuselah. Cosmos is a holy Fort Methuselah poster. And also we
have had a few dead periods in the Fort where there was nothing in
the Fort but twink spam, and more spam. Posters like KidHacker would
swing into action to help fix this type of Fort problem.
Finally, I have seen insane4boyz type of words of wanting more
posters to help with Fort posting by dozens and dozens of prior Fort
posters and from every time period of the Fort. Sometimes heavy
posters like KidHacker and Pester listened to those requesting words
and would pic flood the Fort. Sometimes those requesting words were
even met with words of thanks from individuals that couldn't afford
to purchase any boy pics to post to the Fort.

I post.
Other people contribute too.
Floods aren't everything.
What you want might not be exactly what everybody wants.
The other way around, too.
It takes all kinds to make the fort. Long may it live.
