I'll give you an honest answer to your questions.

Logic would say that would be due to declining support for their organization. ASACP members would say the tiny banner doesn't fit into their design, all the way at the bottom of their site, in the footer. Common sense will let you decide which one makes more sense.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this in the thread yet, so I will...

Their director, Joan Irvine, sold out and went to work for IFFOR (another bullshit organization), where she now collects a check to help govern the .XXX TLD and fuck over / extort the entire internet. Spend some time on Google or here and you'll find everything you need to know about this shit bag operation and the people involved, including ASACP's previous director.

I'm not a member. As you will read in my "cons" below, being that pre-teen content is the issue, and there is a lack of pre-teen porn on English speaking websites, and generally always has been, I do not feel my support is needed and instead give it to organizations in the real world, in the area I live in. People are going to sexually abuse children with or without ASACP, so I feel feeding and educating impoverished children in my area is more important and can actually make a difference. Where if I give my support to a group such as ASACP, while they may be able to reduce the amount of child porn online to some degree, they will not reduce the amount of sexually abused children by even 0.01%.

That said, the void of pre-teen porn sites on English speaking websites may very well be due to their hard efforts. I honestly don't know, they have never released a list of sites they assisted in taking offline and refuse all requests to publish such a list, but I will assume they had a small hand in it and applaud their hard work and efforts.

Pros - Doing something is better than doing nothing. Nothing wrong with supporting an organization, whatever it may be, if you believe in it. Go for it.

Cons - They only really consider pre-teen to be child porn, while underage content that is not pre-teen get a pass. They don't publish any list showing their accomplishments in assisting in getting child porn sites taken offline. Like many others, I personally believe they should. Some people like to see real action happening and not just press releases.

Since you are learning about the adult side of the industry and are judging people/companies by if they fly the ASACP banner or not, I urge you to use the search feature on sites such as this one and Google instead. Any shit bag can make a donation, or not, and fly such a banner, even if it is incredibly difficult to include their design, way down at the bottom of their site. And believe me when I say this side of the industry is overflowing with shit bags.

Good luck.
