And for those who do not know the history of ASPD, it was created in 1999 by a veteran companion/spa owner and was among the first of any hobby review sites.

Fast forward to 2009, the site had suffered several hack attacks and data base losses, and due to personal illness of its creator, suffered several outages in late 2008 which is when the founders of ourhome2 determined a backup site -- mainly to facilitate communications for social function members in multiple Texas and other cities during aspd blackouts.

Thus, when aspd crashed in early 2010 the majority of its admins and mods were already participating on OH2.

The very low "limelight" of OH2 was more than adequate for this community, and likely would have continued as such but the April 2018 hobbyverse legal tsunami changed all that.

And, here we are!
