I can understand a time limit for re/editing a post, but not the same length for deleting one!
Hence, rather than deleting, and posting a separate, new version of the quoted post, I'm 'replying' to it..
Compare and contrast post 3799, with my post linked in the quoted post, alongside the few other posts' responding to post 3799, and declaring this thread "closed", as post 3800 would have it, is demonstrably premature.
As this is merely one strand of the discussion that was already well underway, when I joined the forum, in early 2020.
Namely, "the death and decline of the babeshows", which post 3802 is certain of, despite affirming post 3799, and only "glimpsing BS in the last year or two"!?
Raising the question: in those terms, is Xpanded the babeshows' undeath?!
I'm not going to repeat all that I've said about Xpanded in (hyper)linked posts, but suffice to say, I've described it as in some significant ways, the least worst channel, and yet, BS remains the channel and website to watch, for the most attractive and exciting women, with Xpanded moving out of third position, only by default, of 66's collapse.
Even one of the posts' agreeing with post 3799, concedes that the overall number of women appearing on tv, are thin on the ground at Xpanded.
In one of my earliest forum posts, I remarked on how few women of non-European descent had appeared on Xpanded TV: https://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.p...pid2430022 which was made light of, in at least one reply, and another response replied to a post which partly agreed with me, seemingly without having read precisely what I'd said in my original post.
As I said in that original post, I had previously raised the question on Xpanded's own defunct forum, without more than one response at all, as I recall, which shared my puzzlement, nonetheless.
That thread on 'black girls on the channels', is only nine pages long! Plus, it's a long time since I looked, but I don't recall finding much about 'Babestation Ebony', when I searched.
Also in that post, and possibly one other, I've described how I came to be expelled from the forum:
"[....] Eventually, I was banned, in the middle of a thread I subsequently started, about the severe limits on a forum for adults.
Although I did prompt a moderator to be more candid, than he wanted, about the apparently greater importance, at least, at that time, attributed to the webcam side, than tv.
I still have screenshots from then ...."
However much the specific personnel, and management outlook, might have changed at Xpanded, perhaps the TV channel remains a lesser priority.
That would make some sense of how relatively little, or slow, change there has been over many years, in contrast to the other two, in terms of onscreen personnel, and sets, even accounting for the OnlyFans dispute.
Although with few exceptions, since I interacted with some on its forum, I've paid little attention to the exclusively webcam women at Xpanded, there were certainly much fewer new faces on Xpanded TV, during the height of the pandemic, than on the other two channels.
Some of the Xpanded forum "screenshots" referenced above, were the basis for my nine-year overview post, in a 66 discussion thread, about the visual presentation of all the channels that appeared on 'Freeview': https://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.p...pid2484684
Addendum: also see here: https://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.p...pid2729412
The above post makes heavy reference to my own post (3799), but I’m not sure I (or others?) was looking for a deep analogy of ‘the decline of Xpanded TV’ or any of the other topics you have now veered towards.
I was merely responding to tired comments continually being made about the lack of nudity on Xpanded TV, and the need for those viewers to get over the fact Xpanded is doing things differently to BSTV.
I don’t know if Seducedx6 is just irked because my post received a good reaction (if their’s was about similar points but was ignored?), but perhaps keeping your posts brief and to the point might just help a bit?
All of my post is pertinent, both to what I responded to, and for a 'general discussion' thread about Xpanded.
Also, I'm certainly not alone in writing long posts.
I did intend to return to HdM's reply (post 3811) to me, as I find it maybe as puzzling as he found the post of mine, to which he replied..
I wouldn't deny the usefulness of very specific, and relatively short posts, but I've often tried to offer a wider, and (historically) longer view.
If I was "irked" by others' posts' getting more 'thanks' than mine, then I would be 'irkful' every time I saw a post pitched at the lowest common denominator, reaching its target...
Although some Twitter exchanges with my housemates, who question how much time I've used up on this forum, might suggest I am.
Whereas some posters have been both watching these channels, and on the forum, from earlier than me. I've seen Xpanded from near-enough its start, and as far as I'm aware, I'm alone in referencing my having been on its own forum.
Hence that's part of the particular perspective, from which I draw.
(I've seen them on 'Freeview' from autumn 2011, which means, as I have mentioned, there have been some periods of less or no tv coverage, for Xpanded and Elite/66.)
As I've elaborated in another thread, in this/these post/s: https://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.p...pid2749021 Xpanded did increase its tv coverage, when it took on the Playboy TV Chat brand, which was announced, highlighted, and discussed on Xpanded's own forum.
However, I don't recall, if I knew, what happened to that strand of its operations.
Nonetheless, it has been evident that the web side has still taken precedence.
The development of 'SoSpoilt', which is not exclusively associated with Xpanded, might be best understood as a logical progression, in those terms.
That would also make sense of how, apart from the Playboy TV Chat tangent, relatively little or slow change there's been in tv personnel.
I would say there might be two main considerations that will determine how long Xpanded, or BS, continue to be on tv; getting sufficient return for the outlay to be on there, and the national regulatory regime, for both tv, and the web, which has become still more uncertain, in light of the renewed porn panic, during the pandemic.

I should add (24/12/2023) that I am still more extensively shadowbanned than I've ever been, despite paying for a blue tick for several months, see my pinned thread, profile and header pics

I'm using a friend's account, midriffique, a tweet from which is already linked above, with whom I did do three-way tag team tweeting, whilst he's taking a longterm break from social media.
