Shops were getting raided often, near me after a few people had the opinion that nobody read the forums from councils 5 shops within a small radius were closed down. Maybe coincidence, but maybe not as the area was mentioned frequently.
After a landmark case a few years ago the need for the private section waned as councils wouldn't win many of the cases, I'm not even sure brothel busters exists anymore, and so people started posting more massage reviews in the main forum again. Still useful for areas that are stringent in enforcing rules or for shops wanting to fly under the radar a bit.
Hope that explains.
