Well, there's this thread for one:

But Eccie is hardly the only place she advertises. To your point, some of the issue is the multi-step, multi-tiered process for getting validated. Lots of girls are getting age verified and never taking it any further. They can dump a threAD in the welcome forum and get all kinds of mileage out of that. Come back and update it every once in a while as seen in the thread above. Also, there seems to be a de-verifcation system now where there wasn't one before.
Eccie can be run however the ownership wants to, and that's their business. But they never have been the only game in town and the ladies can easily post ads all day long every day on many other sites with a lot less effort and restrictions. And it's a one-way street without having to deal with the the daily dramarama that never seems to end here. Throw out an introduction with pictures, get some reviews under the belt and never worry about this place again. The reviews will always be here associated with the contact information and available for searches. So at the end of the day, why bother going through it all? At least that's my observation.
