Have a great day.

I have to chime in on this ad business. First, as admin says, its their call. Second, I am all for free enterprise, if Rhonda can make a few bucks with her products, go for it. If some guys don't want to see the ads, scroll past. Third, as a monger, I personally enjoy giving a gift from time to time to providers who take exceptional care of my needs, even more so now that I am getting old and not so studly ;( as I once was, being almost 56. I find it convenient to be able to buy stuff online, rather than having to go to a physical store where I might be noticed, to buy a girl a gift. I always found that I could get more and better honey with honey, heh heh heh...

I been looking at the site for the merchandise what is up with the active member discount? Any info. Let me know I'm looking to go Christmas shopping!

[QUOTE=HelpMeRhonda;1925374]Thank you Admin2 for making it clear, the Rhonda selling the shoes and the Rhonda selling quite the opposite are not the same. See you gents soon, Rhonda.[/QUOTE]

Well put, admin. Having this site available for free is a huge benefit for hobbyists, and there are no free lunches in life. NFL and other sports on "free" TV come with tons of ads.

Some of the ads end up being more entertaining than some of the games...if ya don't like seeing an ad on the site, DON'T READ IT JUST SCROLL ON BY.

As the ancient Greek philosopher Testicles put it, "If you don't want it, you can't have any.

[QUOTE=Admin2;1925357]Walt is right, we can allow whoever the fuck we want to post whatever the fuck we want. Period. End of fucking story.

However; we do like having you guys around so I'll explain this [B]YET AGAIN[/B]! You guys don't pay anything for this site, we make our money on banner ads. A very lucrative type of arraignment for a site like this is affiliate programs. On some banners we get a commission on the sales, on others, the advertisers just pay us a fee for the banners. The only merchandise currently sold on the forum is boner pills. I was curious if linking with a sex toy shop would generate any interest so I allowed Rhonda to put ads on the sex toy thread. She told me she had stuff the girls might like so I told her, read that again, I told her, she could put some ads up there showcasing products. She can only put up one ad a day and she changes her products around so its interesting. If it turns out that we don't have a bunch of fucking douches but rather Nascar type members that support the products advertised on our pages then we can continue to offer The USASG free of charge like we would like to. If not we might have to look into subscriptions or other ways to generate income.

In case nobody noticed, this is a business, not a hobby site. We are going to be adding more ads. If you get value from the site, which you have never once paid a penny for, then perhaps you might wish to pay that back by at least checking out our advertisers. I do my best to vet them beforehand you guys are certainly welcomed to print reviews about your opinions of them if you use them. Rhonda has some good looking stuff that isn't expensive I think she's worth giving a trial to. If you don't like that, well Walt is right, don't let the fucking door hit you on the ass on the way out. If seeing her ads really bunches your panties but you want to stick around then just like any member you can put her on your ignore list and never see them again.

Hi all...

Foremost here, I am NOT complaining about the new ads. I understand networked commerce and what would be needed to make keeping a site like this fiscally lucrative for the time involved to operate it. As others have said previously too, if you're not interested, just scroll on by, same as you do for repeated ads for providers that don't interest you. Now, all that being said, I would like to suggest something if it were at all possible?

Escort ads, repeated over and over (and over). Now I know that the format of the site doesn't easily lend itself to any variance that might work as I'm thinking, but to me, the benefit of any sort of change of this type would be very beneficial. What change you ask? Instead of posting ads every day, sometimes multiple times a day, there be a 'bulletin board' for escort ads. As a provider, if you're working, you can log on and re-activate your ad for say 24-36 hours. Have changes mid-day? Just log on and alter to that one ad, so you wouldn't have to post a new ad in the ad thread. Provider is on vacation? If the ad would be showing as inactive within 2 days then hobbyists would know that if calling that provider, there's no guarantee that they'd be working at that time. It also would be a way to not have the escort ad thread be so full of the same ads/pics. As of today, it has hundreds of pages, and almost 25,000 pics within it. I went to page 101 and we've accomplished that in less than 4 months. Narrowed down to non-repeated ads, we might have 10-15 pages total and maybe 200 pics? I know that it's not easily feasible, but if anyone has ideas for a way to incorporate such a thing here in the Cinci forum, I think many would be interested in discussing it. :)

Second, the new sundries ad. Like I said before, I'm not against it being on here at all, and would be thrilled to see it and others like it become banner ads that could be easily seen and supported by the community as a whole. That being said, having sundries ads mixed in with provider ads is a little confusing if by no other reason than the title of the escort ad thread itself. What someone suggested a few days back of a 'Marketplace' thread definitely could be a beneficial addition to this and other forums here. If we were to have ads for sundries or services that might lean more towards the more risque side of things but not be associated with anyone seeing a lad or lass's 'O' face, then all the better. Adult novelties, boudoir/nude photographers, grooming, nekkid house or car cleaning services, or whatever else.. but stuff that wasn't insinuated towards pay-for-play sex. I know, that's what Craigslist is sometimes used for, but those ads are often flagged within minutes unless there is a LOT of gray area. That wouldn't be an issue here at all. Need a two headed prostate massager with the optional humming rhino attachment? see this person/website, and tell'em Jax sent you. In the market for a vouched videographer to record your foursome session next weekend with Sasha, Molly, and Dawn? There's an ad for that, and if not... well then just call me and I'd video it for free. ;)

So, those are my thoughts on it. Take'em as ya wish. :)

So, this user with ZERO reports asked me for a number and I thought I was polite in my reply to him but maybe I wasn't. Regardless, he has blown any chance of ever getting anything from me.

I got the same messages. Asking about a provider wanting details. I took the same course of action as you. Said could be vouched for by other seniors and when I asked who he couldn't provide names. It was [blue][Deleted by Admin][/blue]. Any seniors that can vouch here PM me. Remember newbies seniors will not share intel until you are vouched for. Especially with no posts. MF.

The guy could be a new monger. Or, he could be some LE pig trolling for info. You never know. What we do know, however, is that he is some kind of rude anal orifice with no respect for the system.

Cheech.

I apologize for that and I almost didn't post it but he was such a REAL douchebag and he pissed me off. I mean seriously, even if I hated the gal I wouldn't give out her number to an unproven jack ass. I ask any gal that I "find" if it's OK to give out her number and assure her that I will not do so indiscriminately.

Some people think they're entitled to a number because they have a user name!

-BigBird69.[/QUOTE]Man I get what you're saying I had a guy last week asking the board for a Particular SW info where he could find her etc now this SW is nothing spectacular and I found him with 4 post asking about her rather strange especially with him saying he was from Louisville I just didn't trust him & I let him know. Now he claims he got help from the other members via pm, I hope nobody helped him because I truly believe he was LEO or a jealous bf because he hasn't posted anything since (I checked). To me it's always better to be safe than put somebody at risk. We know the girls out here whether its a SW or escort it would be pretty hard to blow smoke up our arse we know real posters or if the info is believable. Always err on the side of caution.

I would assume most seniors know not to give intel to someone with no posts. At least I would hope so. MF.

I get spammed a lot via text and phone by providers wanting to see me. Let me say first I don't think I am special but I'm sure it happens to all of us. I got a spam text today Where a provider was thinking about me and wanted to see me. So I asked if they were running a special. There was no special I was told. So here's my theory, if a provider texts or calls out of the blue that must mean their not busy and need money. It's not because they miss a certain client or yearn for alone time because if that was the case wouldn't it be free? My feeling is that if a provider out of the blue text or call a client wanting to see a client that should automatically have a reduced rate. Because there is a reason she texted or called in the first place, most likely they like you or had a good time with you and know you are legit. I would definitely welcome opinions from mongers as well as providers. I wanna know if I am the odd man out here. Some will agree some will disagree, but i would like to hear from alot on here. what do you all think?
