Be careful out there guys.

MM.

This is the type of shit that gives real providers issues. Going to the cheaper girl yet then they do shit like this and you still go to the cheap at risk girls wondering what's going to happen. Sorry for him but this is a choice that I often read about yet a real person that uses real pic an shit go disreguarded as being pricey.

Anyone care to speculate what kind of shake down of establishments these new regulations will cause in SF?

My guess is they will be waiting until the 90 day period after June 30 is up and then will start planning raids on the most egregious offenders, especially those strongly suspected of human trafficking involvement. With the alleged 100+ illegitimate establishments there is no way they can raid them all in one go. Or they may just begin a steady drip drip of rules enforcement which will force them to shut down without raids. Again I think they will be leaning on the most egregious offenders first but it may take years to have effect. Just my $0. 02 worth.

If Honolulu is any indicator, they will simply move to BP. Honolulu only place I have been where the AMP posting's in BP "massage" category outnumber the BP escort postings 20 to 1 and even the escort postings are usually AMP doubleposts. Give the mamasans a week or three to figure out where to go and I'm sure they will figure it out and migrate.

BTW just noticed today TER has a forum section so maybe the RB forum posting folk will move there as USG and it's sister ISG (remember all those years ago when it was called WSG seem pretty unknown which ofc can be a good and bad thing, I. E. You need a community to keep peer reviews and community going (especially in low post areas) but same time, agree we don't need all the RB trash either.

To be honest, 95% of what was on rb was garbage IMHO. What I'm wondering though is how are the AAMPs in the South Bay and Peninsula going to advertise now? I have a few phone numbers in my phone, but how will we be able to find new talent just in from Asia.

Can someone PM me if they know where the AAMPs are advertising now? That's mostly what rb was good for to me.

I don't think that they are worried about individual users. Besides the server isn't in the US.

Dude. I'm assuming you signed up via ccbill or a similar company. I might be wrong, but the forums have your email address associated with a screen name. Unless they go after the billing companies, they won't have your cc info.

I wouldn't sweat it. I was a member, but moved away from SF a few years ago.

I hope that the bullshit don't move to this site. There was way to much bullshit that came with the message board. It sucks not being able to post but it was bound to happen. It was over the top with nasty ass photos, cheap prices that told you what you'd get for what. Backpage will be the new RB and CL for those that can afford to post. But it'll cut a lot of the shit down with BP not allowing the Menu and pricing and you have to watch what photos you post.

Kisses Carrie.

(CNN) -- The FBI on Wednesday shut down a website advertising children for prostitution -- a move made as part of a broader crackdown on the sex trafficking of minors, law enforcement sources told CNN on condition of anonymity. Federal agents closed myredbook.com in a raid in San Francisco. Two people were arrested on suspicion of operating the site, the sources said The raid stems from a national child sex trafficking crackdown in which the FBI said it rescued 168 children and arrested 281 alleged pimps this month. Some of the rescued children were identified through myredbook.com, one of the law enforcement sources said. The FBI acknowledged an ongoing investigation, but would not provide specific information.

When you visit the site you get:

This domain name has been seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as the result of a joint investigation by the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service.

This domain name is subject to both civil and criminal forfeiture. This seizure is based on probable cause to believe that this domain name was involved in money laundering derived from racketeering based on prostitution in violation of state and federal law.

Property, including domain names, involved in violating Title 18, United States Code, Section 1957, is subject to civil and criminal forfeiture to the United States pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 981 (a)(1)(A) and Section 982 (a)(1).

To report information about a crime to the FBI, please call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

OFC it's all BS and the same logic used to kill CL and one day BP but something to be aware of. I'm confident just like the admins here no way even if true the RB admins were aware of it. I'm assuming they have a zero tolerance policy also.
