The reason for this thread
Is sharing information. The most helpful posts are about ripoffs and stings. But long fanciful stories, especially those with pictures, are entertainment too!
Posting pictures is not as easy as you think. First, you need a camera with a charged battery and a memory card with space on it. That seems easy but I've gone out to take pictures and found my battery dead, or that my card is full. This sucks when you have a model all ready to go, I keep a spare now at all times. Then you need a PC to resize and edit then post the pictures.
Getting a model to pose is a whole other story, trust me it's not easy! Then I like to get permission to post the pictures. Hell, some girls used to beg me to post them! Others, well, it takes some cajoling.
After you post pictures, the real fun begins. Mongers from all over PM you asking you to schedule an appointment for them. Like as if you are their pimp or something! I used to get PMs from members with zero posts, wanting phone numbers, email addresses and locations. I shit you not! Trust me guys, if you don't get a PM back, there is a reason.
I don't see telling mongers to not bother PMing as being ego driven. I see it as an encouragement to get more posts on the board. It's a way to tell them, "hey dude, put in some information to get more back." There is no need for this to be a thread with eight guys posting good pictures and stories and a hundred guys standing around with their hands out asking for a phone number. If you want to call a provider, and schedule an appointment, you need to read the BackPage Thread. This thread is all about driving and finding fresh fish.
