Glad to see this is back. And glad I kept my contacts. Been living like a king since BP died.

Posts: 674Partly agree
I do agree with you Doc, on the vast majority and concur. But I stand on this theory in life, business and hobby - "To effect any change, one must participate". It is a basic rule. Now regarding the "Hobby"; the more patrons that ask for more attention to detail, the better chances of change will occur. I am a firm believer in "My gold, my rules". But I also know that every now and then, you pay the same amount for a hamburger steak, as a Porterhouse. It is time and place. But yes brother, I agree with you, I am just participating.
Peace.

Posts: 57No on CL too.
Just saw this when trying to look at the 'personal' section on CL.
"US Congress just passed HR 1865, "FOSTA", seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully.
Any tool or service can be misused. We can't take such risk without jeopardizing all our other services, so we are regretfully taking craigslist personals offline. Hopefully we can bring them back some day.
To the millions of spouses, partners, and couples who met through craigslist, we wish you every happiness!

Thoughtful comments as usual from Pappa. As you solicited our comments on the post, here is mine. I may be too pessimistic on my view on this, but this is based on my experience. I agree that the absence of BP posting now will make providers to rethink about their conduct. But, I have very little hopes that they will take this as an opportunity to better themselves, improve their game or we can force them to do so. Unfortunately chances of that happening are very slim. They may give a discount (at least temporarily until they find another avenue to advertise), but improvement of their game, don't count on it. Unfortunately almost all of the girls in this business live day to day if not hour to hour. Strategic thinking and planning is not a part of their thinking process. If they are at that level, they wouldn't be in this business at the first place. Just my two cents.
Stay Safe.
Dr. S.

Do you think AMP's will charge less now since they have no place to advertise. I know it sounds kind of silly knowing they have a fixed location but you never know.

Posts: 674An interesting turn of events
This has been kinda fun. I have been getting texts from providers of past that had saved my number. Desperation is at hand somewhat. Prices on many have slid to our favor. GPS providers are getting pinched as a price war seems to have started.
Providers are flocking to SA in hopes of getting a free platform. I personally am outing those known hags to SA admin as they are keen on keeping them at bay. As a group it would be wise to direct the reasonable providers to usaadultclasified.info, and populate that site. Jackson and friends have provided us a platform that will not be hindered by Congress as of yet. It is good business to help them expand locally. I witnessed in several cities in my travels a well populated and active usaadultclasified.info platform and the forum associated for us hobbyists. The associated forum is self regulated with good intel and the providers recognize the benefits of good performances given by recommendations of the forums members.
On a side note; and I have been preaching this here and other forums for sometime, we have the opportunity to (tell, demand or request) that providers come on time, fresh and dressed in proper attire (dressed attractively rather than slobs) when appointment time rolls around. Providers are worried. It is a great opportunity to have them up their game to get our attention and $. These market changing opportunities are rare and as a collective we can make the providers adopt some fundamental changes. Over the last 4 days, I have put those things into practice and have been very pleased. I got 5 texts looking for an appointment. I told all, the need to show up on time, dressed hot and attractive, fresh and GFE and send me pic before they come.
Here's the interesting thing, all discounted their hr rate by at least 50 bucks, 4 of the 5 had no problem with the dress requirements, and the 5th just didn't have heels and a dress to wear. All agreed on hot GFE sessions and being shower fresh. I saw two, a third could not find a ride. I cancelled on two because they where going to be 30 plus minutes late. They all sent pics and where dressed to impress as much as they could. The two I cancelled, whined and where desperately apologetic and stated they where in trouble because of BP and other platforms offline. In the past they had been habitually late, and I reminded them of that and would not accept it any longer. Again, they whined, promised, and so on.
So basically, I am seeing this as a good thing. It will change, but for the moment we can be as selective as we choose, demand what we really want, and possibly adjust the providers attitude to be a better provider. But it is up to the hobbyist community.
I endorse and recommend an action to push good providers to usaadultclassifieds.info for the betterment of the marketplace.
Your observations on this report is truly welcomed.
Peace.

Posts: 682Collaboration more important now
This page will become a good source of intel and introductions. BP was all one sided ads, we can now call it straight and put the right value on good and bad providers. They are now dependent on our experiences.

Posts: 936Just curious as I stopped frequenting backpage a good while ago but how are all of the lovely ladies of backpage advertising now to get their drug fixes? Where do all the pimped out enslaved drug sore ridden little girls living on Broad River, Bush River and Sain't Andrews in all those third world shit dump hotels go now? Do they go back to street walking up and down those fabulously safe roads or does a new site pop up soon? Backpage could not have gotten more scummy with some of the most disgusting women I've seen lately so I couldn't care less if it shut down but I am curious to know where all the druggies on there from Columbia went to and what they will do now? Here's to hoping they don't go to SA as it would be awful to have to sift through all that trash to find anything decent.

Posts: 102Not Bad. Like the old BP with an adult section.
Just not many providers have found it yet.
