I disagree that this board is responsible for the demise of the "spas" or that the rise was due to this board.

The internet provided a medium that has been filled with information and ads long before this board existed. A better question could be did the advent of "free
advertising via the internet lead to blatant disregard of discretion by the spa owners.[/b]
Shoot, up here in the Dallas area, a couple of years ago there was a Spa that even advertised regularly on the radio. The ads ran for several months before a television station decided to run an expose on it. Only then did LE crack down on them. But come on, what the heck was going on inside the pea brains there. At least on the internet, you have to sort of being looking for this type of activity to run across it. But on commercial radio????
