I'm having issues with backpage today, has it bit the dust too?
[QUOTE=Macintn;3789071]I'm having issues with backpage today, has it bit the dust too?[/QUOTE]It has been seized by the FBI from what the warning says when you go to the page.
[QUOTE=Professor69;3789145]It has been seized by the FBI from what the warning says when you go to the page.[/QUOTE]Looks like it's gone for now! Seems they could probably just shift it out of country and relaunch but who knows. Won't change anything really! Just like when Craigslist died back in 2009 ish everyone just moved to a new site and will again. Actually the sister site to USA is looking pretty busy and pops up on google searches near the top. It's not going to stop the Hobby! Maybe we should have a skip the games thread soon.
Happy Hunting.

Dawg.[/QUOTE]I agree I think they need their own thread. Ken.
Just remember a lot of our favorite ladies are probably worried right now about income and friends finding them. If you can reach out and let them know you have their number and will be still able to reach and see them it would be nice for them to hear. If you can go see them and help them out even better. Lets face it without the ladies we wouldn't have much to discuss LOL.

Dawg.[/QUOTE]Kinds words Dawg. I got spooked away from BP long long ago. At a minimum. ,. , those ladies should be encouraged to post an ad on USA Adult Classifieds with current contact information (if they haven't done so already). Hopefully they have been using more than one mode of advertising anyway. I'll bet that no one would have trouble finding an ad for Candy Curves .,.,., she has honed the art of promotion over the years.
Definitely be vigilant during these turbulent times.
Happy Hunting,

Looks like that thing isn't coming back anytime soon. Along with AMPs, it was my entry into the hobby training wheels.
CL has to be shaking in their boots. RIP BP.
Keep it hard.

Rrayr.[/QUOTE]Supposably this has nothing to do with HR1865 and lots to do with an indictment out of FL. Currently the website says it is owned and in control of the USPS!! So there is lots to this story we do not know. I was told BP was going to fight HR1865 and was not going anywhere, so I guess our fine govt, decided to take it via search and seizure. 1 of the NEW legislations state that the govt can come in and seize your property including your websites, clouds and all your personal belongingS based on suspected wrong doing. You do not even have to be charged with a crime. JUST SUSPECTED!
I am waking up thing I am living in North Korea or China!
I guess Blue laws will be returning also.

Rrayr.[/QUOTE]I had No idea these sites were going to be pulled down!
I'm sure a lot of the girls didn't either.
So the ones that are living in hotels and are users, woke up to a surprise!
When they went to post or answer ads and CL and BP were not available.
They are going to get their fix somehow and the handlers are still wanting their fix also!
Think this might add to more crime and SW's?
Looks like eccie is down also.

There's always going to be an issue of supply and demand. It's one of the oldest professions. Going underground will most likely lead to more trafficking, crime, and working the street. They'll find a way and we'll have to adapt. It's just like the war on drugs.
Hopefully they don't take this site down?

I think this is all about trying to get to the organized traffickers that have obviously been using these sites for years. Makes things 10 times worse when the police bust an organized group that is dealing with juveniles and it catches public attention. The unfortunate thing is the "harm" it may do to those providers that rely on this as their sole / primary source of income.
Won't take long for some entrepreneuring individual (s) to figure out the loop holes. Don't know that things will ever be back to normal, cause change really is the only constant, but there is nothing that can be done to completely suppress the hobby.

Are. I. P backpage a lot of good times over the years.
But the last year or so it's was down hill anyway.
No spinners no blonde girls just fat ones that should not even post so yea you be missed sort of LOL.
With Craigslist gone, now Backpage gone. . I guess USAClassifieds is about the only avenue left. I've noticed several BP advertisers coming onto USA, Slip Away and others. . . So here comes the ironic part. . . . What's Rene going to do? She'll have to give in and join us. HAHAHAHA.

She probably still hasn't woke up from last night's bender to know what's going on yet. In between scrubbing shitters, I'm sure she will pop up. How perfect she scrubs shitters for a living. So appropriate.

East.[/QUOTE]Actually, the trafficking angle was created a few years back to redefine the fight against this hobby. Things were becoming normalized as many countries relaxed or legalized things altogether and here in the US, workers were being given more agency. Just like the term "climate change" was utilized to redefine global warming, trafficking has been used to tackle this hobby and those who participate in it. Yes, there are evil people who use others, get them hooked on opiates, and pimp them out but they are a very small minority. As we all know, the current actions by authorities only make it harder to identify and help those who are actually being taken advantage of.
I would also add that this is not a left / right issue or a bunch of religious zealots. It is about those in power finding an area that they cannot control and exerting their control over it. To do so, they use things like trafficking, "for the kids", and "those against their will" because voters who are easily manipulated respond to these emotional strings.
The following comes from InPink, a forum advertiser on the Louisville USASG:
"As of right now, adultlook (one word) website with a section for louisville, KY is still up. This site hijacked all of the postings from backpage for every provider in the therapeutic section each time one was made. The good part about this, is that as right now, you can go there and get the contact information and a photo of every provider who posted on Backpage in the last month. Get all the numbers and emails now before it's gone".
I checked it out and it exists. Note, when you search it, it comes up with [URL]websiteoutlook.com[/URL] in the url, which takes you to a pseudo site. Delete that part and it brings you to the site. I searched Knoxville and saw plenty of familiar faces.

Lady Monica is pushing Instagram hard now.
Pretty smart I might add. Provided the pics aren't too risqué, it's a perfect format for exchange.
Pros: Direct private texting. Screening of clients. Provider has the power to accept / block.
Cons: Provider has to mine through potential serious clients. Weeding out unwanted clients would be a full time job. (But then again, this IS their full time job). Upset members can report escort services.
The "Sex control" movement is at hand.

Volboater you are the man!! After all the bullshit of this week with the attack on BP I have to say that made me laugh out loud and smile. Thank you for the laugh in an otherwise down week!

Trying to read between the lines here and based on several federal agencies piling on, looks like they are going after BP's owner(s) for mail and wire fraud, Tax evasion and maybe even an exaggerated RICO act. So far the details of this case are sealed by a judge.
"This builds on the historic effort in Congress to reform the law that for too long has protected websites like Backpage from being held liable for enabling the sale of young women and children.
USA Tax evasion laws have very long tentacles beyond our borders with participating countries BTW.
Sex control and speech control in full affect.

HAHAHAHA.[/QUOTE]You can add TER, and ECCIE to the list. TER is blocking all US addresses, and ECCIE has gone dark as well.
Trying to limit or stop this hobby is like chasing cats. The recent actions taken will only have a temporary affect on the hobby. More then likely a "BP replacement " will rise to the top and be even more effective and more immune from government intervention. Truly the only question is when and what will it look like?
I wonder where these girls are posting now. I mean some just use this as extra cash, but some need for rent. They have to be advertising some place. Only a couple new ones showed up on the sister site. Maybe a quick drive by the local known hotels one could find a few recently displaced.
Also, has anyone else noticed a higher than normal database error when going to the sister site. I wonder if LEO is trying to hack the Database

The sites shutting down like eccie, ter and others are in panic mode. There will be plenty of litigation coming out of BP and the bill not being signed yet it'll stall other moves. People all need to jist be patient and wait. Craigslist adult services went down and everyone wondered where the ladies would go. In time BP blew up and was the next big thing. Well other sites take their place, much like the classified side is doing now. Honestly this site and the sister site seem to be doing things better and right. Just rude the wave and all will go on.
Happy Hunting.

Their website is slowed way down as well. Saw a message where they are having to upgrade their servers.
And they did all this to supposedly stop the. 001% that the girls were being trafficked. The other 99.999% are of age and willing participants. And guess what none of us wanted anything to do with that. 001% and they will find a way to continue what they are doing. So really this was just a "feel good" law to impose their morals on us.
OK read about whatsyourprice. . its an eBay type bidding. . hahahaha. I joined to check it out but I'm thinking these women think I'll pay to just go on a date. . uhhhhh if that date includes your knees behind your ears. . oops sorry. . its a 3 drink night, depression over BP HAHAHA.
OK last comment on BP, so even in Knoxville we had about 30 providers advertise each day. What if all 30 of those providers all the sudden hit the streets, walking up and down Cedar Bluff, Lovell Road and campbell station. . . Is that really what they want. . . Some times laws have inadvertent negative consequences.
[QUOTE=ST0808;3794185]I guess Lady Monica would be joining us soon on this site. So what are you we going to do. Have butt plug handy??[/QUOTE]LOL she's here and with like 3 ads! Noticed a lot have moved over in the last few days. I'd ask some of your favorite ladies about their back up ways to find and reach them if sites go down. I have been watching on other resources for a few days now.

We should change this to skipthegames review since they stayed live.
There is a backpage. Ly providers are advertising on.
Former BP made the list for non hobby activities. SKW.
