I would like to ask who is the best duos to see I thank you for anyone's input on this.
[QUOTE=GoBig;2143003]How having paid advertising by providers associated with USASG will affect the general operations of the site, rules, enforcement of rules, official Admin attitudes toward "newbies," treatment of reviews on providers from other sites, links to other sites, etc.
Just sayin.[/QUOTE]Not a whole lot to any of it. Since they are helping with the bills I'm trying to see Jax on the idea of letting them append remarks to a review (kind of like what Remmy did in here the other day) but I'll never delete a review that doesn't break our rules because a provider doesn't like it, that's never, ever going to happen.
The official admin attitude towards newbies is going to be the same, stop fucking hitting them on the head with hammers. If you think they are shilling, write me, I'll look at it, if I find the proof I need I'll ban the name, or at least restrict them from posting about that provider. If they are assholes put them on your ignore list. If they break the rules I throw flags.
The forum will always and forever be "A place for men to talk about women for sex" that's never going to change as long as I have this job, you can take that to the fucking bank.
[QUOTE=Admin2;2142953]For a couple reasons, the reviews aren't going anywhere, AND we want to add functionality to the advertiser site with a "review me on USASG" button on each ad. So you see a chick, you bang a chick, then you click on her button that says "Review me on USASG" there will also be a button, "Read my reviews on USASG" and since guys have been using her button to make the reviews it makes it easier on the back end to present only her reviews.
Sorry you think it's a pain in the ass but new things always are, it always gets easier with practice. We had to do something about separating money from the act, we really don't want to wake up one morning and see "This Website has been seized" on the front page. We simply HAD to get to ads of this site. Once that's done then everything here is protected speech and unless they have a new constitutional congress and rewrite the 1st amendment we should be ok.
Work with us while we figure it out, we will get it right for you guys.[/QUOTE]A2, I was under the impression that since this site is operated from ARG that good old uncle asshole couldn't get to you, the info on your servers, or those of us who enjoy meandering around in here. Now I might not be as internet savvy as I like to think, but why would you be worried about USA Law from over there? And by the way, I'm not trying to be a smart ass, I really want to know because its important to the way I operate.
Thanks,
Cheech.

If your domain ends in .com.ar it's an Argentine domain, .ru Russia ect. ect. Have you ever noticed what ours ends in?
Yes we will probably move it someday.

Am I the only one who finds the back and forth love chatter posts between monger & provider after a session a little sappy, mushy, gooey, maudlin, cheesy, etc? Do we really need to read that? I hope you guys are getting a discount? You all know what I mean.

Why is it that the guys that like to complain always find something new to complain about and just fucking HATE it when people are having a good time.
Click their names, click "Add to Ignore List" problem fucking solved.
Sending me a note that says "The new site sux" isn't helpful. If you can't tell me what's wrong I can't fix it. I keep a file of everything guys tell me.

Ladies, when posting an ad on th new site, please put your working names in the headline so we know who you are. The pictures are difficult to recognize and if we don't see your name, we may not open your ad. Just a suggestion!

Why should Admin be commenting on the content of my posts if I am not breaking any rules? I wasn't calling out any specific post or person, or provider. IMO, if a monger & provider are going to exchange romantic chatter, maybe they should just PM each other, or maybe there should be a whole new topic created called "Sappy Exchanges Between Monger & Provider"?
A few thoughts on the new classified site:
Pix:
Yes, the "force to fit" preview is annoying and downright unflattering to some of our fair providers. This will be remedied by the more tech savvvy providers by making sure their pics fit the new format, and if they don't, they'll add "bling" to the pictures to make it proportion correctly.
Clicking on each picture opens a new tab rather than a floating box. This is cumbersome and should have a previous / next function. Plus, the pictures themselves are a bit small (I shouldn't need to constantly zoom in and out, it's annoying).
I no longer need to log in to see the pictures. Not sure how I feel on this one as I come here 3-6 times a week, but only log in to see pics from time to time.
Policies:
I understand the "Prices or Acts" policy from a CYA basis, but it does somewhat hamper both the providers as well as members. "Greek is $X extra" theoretically can't be stated as it's both an act and money. What about providers who offer massage at one rate and GFE at another? BnG now has to have a new euphemism of "Short Stay," so is that a BJ, BBBJ, BBBJCIM or a quickie? For the amount of money spent, can I expect the whole alphabet of services? Some girls don't allow MPOPS, etc and that factors into a member's decision. Contacting each one is a waste of my time and theirs.
Contact:
I like the ability to contact them quickly via form, but I should have to be logged in to do so. This will waste much more time for the girls I think from phony email addresses, but I could be wrong. PMs work similarly already for certain verification. EMail is one of the worst ways to communicate with a provider as it "feels" more permanent / traceable and is far easier to subpoena, and so on.
Misc Improvements:
If this is the route you're going to take, then Provider Profiles seem to be a natural progression. This would be like the ECCIE Showcase (delete the name before if you don't want a reference to a competing site, though it doesn't exist in Cincy) showing services, "standard (non-special, not inflated)" rates, part of town, in / out call, etc.
Other Thoughts:
It looks to me like you made Cincy your beta before it should have been. This could have been more thought out and by bifurcating your client base into two sites, I'm not sure if the gamble will pay off or divide your clientele too much. We now have to bounce back and forth to see reviews, chat among each other and see ads, and so forth. I personally don't like it.
There should be provider names / handles at the top or in a corner or something. It's a bit too jumbled. I'm looking at providers I know I'm not interested in while looking for ones I want to see if they're running specials, etc.
Oh yeah, and when you first go to the site, the title in the HTML (shows in the tab on browsers) is still "USA Sex Guide" - FYI
Okay, I think I'm done (but likely not) for now. YMMV, Just my 0. 02, Ya get what'cha pay for, blah blah blah.

For one thing it lets other ladies feel comfortable in knowing you are legitimate. Anyone can post a review of a lady, favorable or otherwise, but is it legit or LEO trolling looking for verification? When a lady puts her rubber stamp on it, if you will, it at the very least lets other ladies know you are legitimate and perhaps a gentleman if she's inclined to wax poetically.
Just my. 02 worth.
Luv.

Not me; [BLUE][b]the godlike presence on the forum[/b][/BLUE] answering. The difference has always been that when I post in black you can flame me back. As an [BLUE]Admin[/BLUE] it would be inappropriate for me to call you a whiny little girl that isn't happy unless you're peeing in somebodies cornflakes, but as me, the monger, in black ink, on a fight thread, in my adopted and beloved home town of Sincy, fuck yeah, it's fine.
And me, the guy, still doesn't understand why you don't just use the ignore function to get rid of the problem. Unless you just like coming here and pissing on people who are enjoying themselves.

What we are going to do until we have that is screw around with the divs and set the photos to display full size on the left. 100% agreed that it's cumbersome right now.[/BLUE]

I'm not going to apologize for that one, we had to do it somewhere, I chose you guys because I knew you would do stuff like this. Sorry for the pain in the ass, seriously I am, but considering how long and how free this site has been I figured we had the right for a big ask. I'm not trying to be a dick, I mean that.[/BLUE]

I hadn't seen that, thanks.
