Backpage shut down?!?

Whoa! anyone have any news?

Nope but I know it's down..

Site says Government censorship. Backpage is still there .... just no adult section

While waiting to catch a flight late 2015 a friend and I met this guy who said he was law/politics (whateva the filed) he said this was going to happen and this is what his team was pushing for. I didn't believe it at the time or didn't really think it would happen. Funny thing was whole time he was talking about shutting down the site he was hitting on me and my friend. Real wiredo type guy.

Right.. the dating section still avail..

I didn't even snap to that

I have conflicted feelings about this. While I have BP to thank for getting me into this hobby and I have met two or three great providers though it, for the most part it is a bit of a cesspool and is something I use almost exclusively for 'entertainment' purposes only when I need a good laugh.

I am completely against censorship of any kind (it's much more fun to see the nasty political/economic/etc stuff out in the open I think so we know who we are dealing with right up front). And I do think that protecting young (or older) women from forced lives as sex workers is important too. For that reason I will not see gals under the age of 25 nor do I like using Asian MPs or agencies of any sort.

I suspect that shutting down the adult part of BP will force both providers and clients to up their game if they are serious which really won't affect me much at all. I wonder how it will affect Eccie and other sites?

Actually this one is a Republican push from what I can tell. Moral decay, trafficking (because ALL women in this business are too dumb to make their own choices don't you know).

Not that the Dems are much different, they what the same end because they too believe all women who do this MUST be forced into it.

Y'all CHILL out. The Ads are still there just moved from the Escort forum to the Dating forum on BP.

So, I wonder where the next hotbed of advertising will rise from....?

Maybe EroticMonkey.com? Lol. I've seen an uptick in there push for ads most recently.

the "new" bp is hiddenmeetings.com possibly same owners or just co-own the site. either way thats the next thing and i know providers are posting on it already

There's tons of other sites to post on though.
And maybe it might actually turn more to great boards like this one.
