Special kuddos to all yall men and ladies of Eccie....moderaters,lurkers,& frequent posters...
The 27th of this month is my anniversary of joing Eccie...I was on ASPD before....I have had so much fun on both boards!!
This board is more than a venue for me to "make money"....It is like a "family" to me....a community of daily support & encouragement.....a place for me to share my thoughts,ideas,and vent my frustrations.
Reading and answering post is one of the first things I do in the morning and one of the last things I do at nite....It is like reading the daily newspaper{lol}.
So with that being said.......I want to say THANK YOU to all men & women of ECCIE!!!!!

Congratulations! By volume I believe you are the bored's most prodigious contributor.
Roughly 45,000 posts in six years plus who knows how much time reading other's posts here.
Let's just have some fun with the numbers.
For the sake of argument, let's say every post takes you 5 minutes. Not five minutes of time to actually type the post but five minutes of engagement with the board (to read what others have written, contemplate your thoughts, etc. That may be very conservative...it might be more.
Anyway 45000 x 5 minutes/post = 3750 hours
It would be easy to say 3750 x hourly escort rate is $xxxxxx in lost revenue but that isn't a fair comparison. It is different work and it wouldn't have been practical to actually see clients all those hours.
But consider 2000 is typically what is viewed as the average American full time work week (40 hours a week x 50 weeks).
3750/2000 is roughly the equivalent of 2 years worth working a regular fulltime job.
Remember that's 3750 hours of "productive" (I use the term loosely since we are talking about a SHMB
) activity.
Most 9 to 5ers (or shift workers) don't actually spend 40 hours a week producing or making something (e.g. billable hours). They are in internal meetings, training, travel, holidays, paid vacation, etc. etc. so let's haircut that by a third.
Then her 45000 posts is roughly equal to 3 years of a full time job (across six years)
Or if my 5 minutes of bored engagement per post is too conservative and really it's more like 10 (or more :gasp
her ECCIE engagement is LITERALLY a fulltime job
In any event, congratulations.
(& of course I'm making all kinds of simplifying assumptions here..any of them could be quibbled with...point is it is a lot of hours on eccie)

Happy Anniversay Dallas.
I too, spend a lot of time on ECCIE, not as much as you, and I don't always post on a forum. But it's interesting. I don't even get much action from this venue, but I feel it keeps me connected, in what can be a very lonely profession!

I'd never thought about reading and engaging with posts on here in the same light as reading the newspaper. But that makes perfect sense. ECCIE can be rather informative, and at times more scandalous than anything I could ever read in "Page Six."
Happy Anniversary Dallas! And thank you for all your contributions on here.

I have no kids left at home....I have no other job...I have a home that is easy to maintain...and I have no real life friends except a couple providers and my kiddos and my better half.........SO that is why i have so much free time on my hands....I am on the computer a large portion of the day....Yes I do see a client or two a day at times,but if i have an appt then I get on afterwards to check things out and to "wind down".
