I remember when Nerve was actually cool. I learned a lot about sex there. And eventually I outgrew it, as with Playboy before that. They're just not as cool as they think they are.

Now they're not even making the nod to being sexy. Might as well read MAXIM, it's pathetic. They went downhill a long time ago. And their personals? Forget it.

There's just no reason to read Nerve anymore. They may have a new CEO, but I don't see profitability any time soon. Is it so much better for a mainstream company to advertise on a site that has explicit sex stories but no nude pictures than one that has both? Or will the writing disappear too? What are they, Cosmo?

Typical. I was an early poster on Nerve. I dropped them when they discontinued their chat portion of the site. This has been a slow, painful decline.

Do they even care about their core user base? Did they miss the memo: old media business models don't apply to new media?

The internet is where sites like old-Nerve thrive. Making Nerve more like mainstream media will only alienate the fans, and for what? For folk who are already reading other boring and banal publications and web sites?

I, at least, have hope in the future, when new media will significantly trump the old, forcing the old to progress or die.

That sucks. I'd been thinking about subscribing to Nerve since buying a book of erotica put out by them. Not now, though. This is pretty heartbreaking.
