Same topic, dozens of different girls (some beautiful, some less, some ugly), hundreds of huge pictures.
121 replies (over 90% by the thread starter himself), slightly more than 17,000 views.

Any clues on the reasons behind the above outcomes? I am really curious to know your views.

It's probably a combination of:
1) popularity and track record of the vendor: Hal has been active on the market since the early 2000s;
2) Lemoni and Svea meet the tastes of the public better than the girls of the Russian guy.
Oh, and I have to disagree with you about Lemoni and especially SVEA (my ideal barefoot beauty: spectacles and "fuck me" hot pants! )
being "cute, nothing special". They are among Hal's hottest finds of the last 2-3 years, immo.

I agree with Feetosopher. And yeah, both girls are really special. Plus you can tell they (and Hal) genuinely enjoyed the shooting process and did it for the love. That makes it more exciting.

hal is beeing a long time forum member, but not all of his posts are getting that many replies either, some are better., personally beeing a fan of lemoni and svea too, helps

while i certainly enjoy Barefoot-park.com posts and have a look at all the update and pictures, and also did purchase some single videos in the past.
i think, if Barefoot-park.com would also join from time to time some conversations here in the board, he would already been an accepted member and would also get more replies to his posts too.
but yeah, maybe i should also reply more often to his posts and comment.

for example Zane from SGM, he was very new, but not only promoted his site on the board, he also was posting comments in other threads.
