I've noticed a traffic migration away from Dimboards and I have more than just anecdotal evidence of this.
The Dimboards have new competition and over the past year the competition, Curvage, has overtaken Dimboards with a clear trend indicating this will continue.
Chew on this:

Simple numbers as of 02/01/08:
Dimboards registered members: 16214
Curboards registered members: 21109
Now Dimensions has been around always. If you dig fat, this was the place to go. But in barely a year, "Curvage has bellied up to the bar" as the data shows.
Why is this?
Both sites provide a nearly identical product: Fat. Beautiful fat and lots of it.
Both sites do not provide an identical experience though.
The one difference between the sites is the moderation.
Dimboards moderators- all women. Oppressive and controlling by nature. That's not my view of all women but it is certainly my impression of these women moderators.
In an effort to be polite I will refer to the most egregious examples by their initials only: Tina and Sandy and even AnnMarie to a lesser degree. Whoops, I forgot their initials.
Their behavior in similar moderator positions at other fat forums has been the same. This core of serial moderators is the difference between a stagnant and declining Dimboards and the vibrant and expanding Curvage boards.
Curboard moderators- men. Laissez faire in nature.
It should be no surprise that men, the great bulk of traffic at these two sites, are moving toward Curvage.
Men don't like being hen-pecked. Just sayin'.
