To expound on my last commment, this site may have been a happening place and a great way to find and meet providers, but if you noticed, of the registerd verified providers during the heydays (1000+), you were still lucky to see 10% or less of them actively participating in conversations and maybe that much only placing ads in the ad forums because of the BS rampant on here. Do not get me started on their ZERO tolerance policy for insulting others and harrassment!
Any boards like this after ASPD are more or less good ole fan boy sites designed to dick stroke other hobbyists or arguing/trolling those that disagree with the popular opinion or have the gumption to review a provider he had a less than steller time with, and defintely not for finding escorts for P4P. You just did not notice it as bad since there was also a few very active review sections on here to offset some of the nonsense.
Since the new laws took effect and Eccie unplugged for a bid to hide forums and all, then the the members started to deactivate their accounts in droves and those that did not, just quit posting. The studios all quit operations as did the agencies and the AMP reviews dried up. I remember when you posted a review in the indy section in the morning, by the mid-afternoon, it was on the second page due to the active participants of posting reviews.
Nowadays, the provider participation count is even less and if anything, so the dominate theme and about all you read on these boards is disrespecting, insulting and cyberbullying/stalking others. That is very very sad.
The ladies didn't stop participating because of trolls and harassment. They stopped participating because we lost the ability to advertise-- and for many, they no longer saw an upside to participation. Even my participation is cyclical... when I have extra time, I will come around for the fun of it. When I don't have extra time-- I can go weeks without posting.
The only upside is-- the ladies that are still active and participating... are by and large independent. The managed ones aren't going to bother with a place where they cannot advertise.
