Agreed. Ladies can post daily ads under their location sticky. If they are constantly posting ads everywhere and abusing the privilege I'll pull them from the forum.
I can understand how some ladies may have missed or misunderstood some of the criteria in the previous short notice thread. The rules for ad posting in the private forum will be fairly simple. If they can't grasp it then they probably need to stick with the limited options in the open forum.
Also, muffinman asked about notifications earlier and I failed to answer it in my original reply. If I understand correctly, users may subscribe to any threads they wish. There should be an icon on the thread itself that allows members to subscribe. Ladies can subscribe to the short notice NEED sticky and gents can subscribe to the short notice AVAILABILITY sticky (as well as the ad sticky for their preferred location(s)). The notifications come straight to the email address you used when setting up your account here. If you get instant email notifications on your mobile device that should do the trick.
As always, individual screening is a must, even from within a private forum. Please hobby at your own risk.
As to why I'm not "sharing" my business plan or a prototype, that is pretty self-explanitory. Why would I divulge that info to potential competitors? Perhaps this forum IS the prototype for something else in the future. Or perhaps I lost a bet and this is my debt to pay. Perhaps I'm a spoiled little batshit crazy rich girl and have no plan whatsoever but enjoy doing random shit like this for grins. Perhaps I'm a desperate old whore trying to get some attention with an outlandish story about some crazy forum I have no intention of actualizing. Perhaps I had an idea brewing for a while about a private ad forum that needed an angle and when I finally saw how polarizing positive vs negative postings have become on the board via a series of recent thread postings from both sides of the aisle, I wondered if the silent majority would enjoy a more civilized and protected area to discuss the hobby. Perhaps I spotlighted the social divide by arguing about it in certain threads. Perhaps all of that. Perhaps none.
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps....
Time will tell what my true intentions were. Time is the only reliable measure of any one's true intentions. If you can't wait for time then it's probably not worth waiting for. I believe this forum will be worth the time and effort I'm putting into it. I hope it serves to be a valuable resource for the members.
I feel this thread has served its purpose and run its course. Thank you everyone for your suggestions, questions, support and commentary. The forum will be live within a week. Please pm me for further inquiries or suggestions. I'll request that this thread be closed today (whether or not that actually occurs is a bigger mystery to me than the holy trinity lol).
Thanks again everyone. See many of yall in the new forum.
Mods, will you please close this thread.
