but then, how did you gain your experience to be 'known on the board'?

Next time I was in Texas, I went to an AMP and wrote a review. By this time, ASPD kinda went under, but I had two reviews on the site (as well as "companion" reviews on other Escort boards). I then saw a Canadian provider on a trip to the Great White North. When I asked if I could pay in US dollars, I guess that passed her screening. Voila, I now have 3 reviews in cyberspace. By now, ECCIE is where I migrated to where I came across a provider who is on multiple sites. She asked for references, and I gave her the 3 names/phone numbers that I had. I saw her and got my 4th review which also got me an automatic vouch to see one of her friends which led to a 5th review. Soon the sessions and the reviews begin to pile up. It is like the "Six Degrees of Separation". I see one provider and she tells another provider and so on and so on and so on. The toughest nut to crack is getting your initial few references. I lucked into a no-screening/light screening situation to get me first references. Another way to get "known" is to be a frequent poster on the board. If active, you get "known" Additionally, when I contact providers, I tend to have an on-going e-mail "discussion" with the provider. I do this to let her get a feel for my personality and the same for me-- get to know her. The bottom line; if you treat a provider like an actual potential date, you greatly increase your odds of her liking you/getting to know you. When this happens, she may make her screening less intense.
Once a guy has enough reviews under his belt, all a lady has to do is start asking questions. I mean it does not take a rocket scientist to screen and do so efficiently. I click on the review tab under his avatar, and start contacting all of those ladies. I don't have to "wait" for him to email me their names and website links when that info is right there for me to use. I normally call 3 of the refs, or only one if it is someone I know. The benefit of being a national provider is you meet lovely ladies in every town you visit...I make it a point! Hell I even have 2 utr ladies who helped me in Paris and Valerie is a go to if I ever tour in London.
Every time I see a guy has seen one of the women I know personally, it makes screening a hell of a lot easier. For the OP, at "this point in time" I would highly suggest using P411 or Date-Check, because some women will see you with no checks by your name.
