Honestly, lulz at anyone who believes this thread was made for exposure. The majority of clients would prefer bbbj over cbj, so how is anyone possibly thinking that Nikki posted this as some sort of self promotion? Saying, "hey I'm getting lots and lots of customers that want X, I will never ever provide X." is not exactly going to drive business. This is a forum, and the purpose of a forum is to just discuss whatever relevant topics are on your mind. It seems to me like that was what she was doing?
Caroline, you could just as easily updated your showcase to say "not MSOG friendly on 1 hour visits", but instead you made a thread about it... Perhaps people are getting upset because Nikki phrased her post in a more aggressive manner (ie: "READ MY FUCKING REVIEWS!"), but honestly who cares? We are adults here. It's pretty easy to just not click on a thread and read multiple pages if you're going to get offended at things like that.

There are a ton of lurkers who only read co-ed and never really look through ads that might never have seen her without a co-ed thread. Most of the time when a lady posts in co-ed, she knows this and is just participating to get her face out in the forum. You wouldn't know. You're not on the receiving end of the attention.
2) The difference between her threAD and mine is I willingly admit it was a threAD. I wasn't complaining about a problem and implying that a solution was needed. I was just calling attention to myself and using the excuse of the question I saw in the comments of my reviews to do it. She says this is a legitimate problem, so if that is the case, why is she not interested in finding solutions? If I had such a commonly recurring problem that was wasting my time, I certainly wouldn't go around dissing the ladies who were kind enough to offer me some ways to figure out a solution to my problem. She's losing time and money, according to her. We gain absolutely nothing by offering her advice. We did it to be kind to someone we thought was seriously looking for a solution to the thing that drove her to make such an angry, blame-everyone-but-her post.
3) Yes, co-ed is for discussing hobby-related topics. But there are some of us who like to be productive with our posts. Offer solutions to problems, different perspectives, information that we may have learned the hard way and are trying to save someone else the headache. When we take the time to do such a thing and then are treated so rudely, of course we reserve the right to be rude back. She posted something that seemed like she wanted a solution. When we offered it, we heard crickets and got the excuse that she doesn't have time to say thank you, but she has plenty of time for X's and O's with the boys. If she wants to treat the ladies so rudely and dismissively for trying to be helpful, I don't see why we can't tell her exactly where she can shove her future problems. She is welcome to learn all her lessons the hard way, and please stop posting things that make us think she would appreciate some help. If she just wants to be all hugs and kisses with the guys, post a fucking Titty Tuesday thread or something.
4) She makes $250/hr and complains about her clients being too lazy to solve her problems for her? Come on now. Maybe looking at it like she gets paid so well to deal with some client hand-holding would make it clear to her that recurring issues with her business are not her clients' problem, but her own. Just consider it part of the job. Because it is.
5) It seems like the height of stupidity to post a thread going "here's a problem I'm having over and over and I want to stomp my foot and complain and tell you all how stupid and lazy I think you are, but don't offer me any advice on how to do better because I'm just going to be a brat and keep doing things the same way and hope the Fuck Fairy comes and fixes it for me." But that's just my opinion.
