So what do y'all think of ...

I just had my ATF tell me she wouldn't see me anymore based on my participation in this thread. The message came with a cryptic warning that she wasn't the only one feeling this way about me. So, perhaps it has destroyed some credibility and trust between us all.

Am I worried about it? Not at all. It's a hobby; not my job or way of life.

In general, I agree that this free market research should have been valuable to all parties. Was it perfect? No; it wasn't designed by Price, Waterhouse, Cooper to be comprehensive and probably did exhibit some bias.

I'm glad someone asked me though. Maybe a few providers read these posts and thought "I like the way he communicates; I wish he were my client." If so, now they know my budget and what it takes for us to spend time together.
Just wait... rent has probably been made already, buuuut guess what? it comes due again soon.
Does this mean you don't have to "like" FP's post anymore?
Lucky you!


Have a nice day!

Well, I've never "liked" a post of hers. That must've been someone else. Fire Phoenix is who I referred to, and though I was a huge fan and proponent. I wouldn't white knight for her or anyone else.

Everyone could tell you genuinely cared about her.
All you WK's out there take notice...
Kiss Fire Phoenix's ass continuously or she'll kick you to the curb! lol
lol not directed at 3day, just a ridiculous provider... or not provider now.

That part is true; she and I had developed more of a friendship than I have with other providers. I wasn't interested in calling her out individually, but rather, to show my experience as an example of what can happen as a result of public information exchange and threads like these.

Or is it that hobbyist think they can get providers to lower our rates by uniting to "knock us down"? You can get 1000 of your buddies to say they wouldn't see me for more than 200 but until people actually stop seeing me at my showcase rate I don't see any need to adjust.

I can see why this might be a touchy subject for a few since the product is the provider like someone mentioned above, but its still a business.

First of all 3day NEVER paid my rent or my bills.I actually helped him out quite a bit. So you all are barking up the wrong tree when it comes to money and bills. Second 3day, the threads were NOT an exchange of information. It was to make exsample out of providers on whimpy and The fool king list. It was to gang up and bullying mentality and have I EVER stood for that? I will also make very clear he didn't kiss my ass because I would have never put up with that shit either. Point being, grow up!
Yes it did make examples of you.
Daddy's Girl, Tammie, Dara, and KBF have managed to keep their shit together and not look foolish.
And Selina has not even acknowledged it at all.
And a few of you have completely lost your shit.

Don't forget that some hobbiest need to follow that thread too.
It doesn't matter, because you do not possess the power or staying ability to ever stop it.
This whining has gone on the entire 6 years I've been on here, you can't change a thing and we know it.

6 years... hahahahaha a Johnny Yanks thread will succeed.

Why would anyone want to change this place. It's unpredictability is what makes it interesting. Otherwise it would be like watching reruns of Mash or ER, one would rather slit there wrists and bleed out on the couch then do that.

You have your fun your way and I'll have mine my way. If any change occurs -- like, for instance, a corrupt fundraiser going kapoot -- then all the better. If not, well, it was fun while it lasted.

You don't get that?
