BP brought me to this board.
The utility of this board in vetting BP girls is what brought me here. When I started this hobby I took to heart all those admonitions to do your research. I used different boards (a couple now defunct) to gather information about providers & learned early on that Backpage was both a fertile hunting ground & a minefield.
Then I found this board. What an invaluable information source it has been! No shakedowns for expensive monthly memberships & no bullshit numerical ratings, just hobbyists helping each other out & giving the lowdown on the good, the bad & the ugly. The signal to noise ratio is a little low sometimes but that's okay, it is always entertaining.
Whether it's because I am extremely cautious, risk adverse or just a pussy, I really suck at TOFTT. I'm much more prone to lurk & read about other guys' misadventures. So a special thanks to those who have suffered the slings & arrows of outrageous BP fortune. You've made my life a lot easier & I'm sorry to see you go!
And I definitely agree with Fred & Vette, if a provider can be cross referenced somewhere other than BP alone, that's a big plus in her favor.
