The problem with this is that while some groups hit were high traffic/
image turnover for *furry* groups, not one has that high a traffic when
you look at the bigger picture, and when you look at many of the image/
art groups that survived.

If you think PlayMouse or any of them were high traffic, you should drop
into some of the Playgirl/image trading groups. More than one I'm on
puts out 5-10MB a *day*, nearly *every* day.

No furry group came close to that.

And the highest traffic (overall) furry groups are still around.

It's also interesting to note that almost every group that's disappeared
has been female image oriented. It increases the odds of it being
complaints. The complaints of someone(s) not into gay and male
material, or Herps.
