[QUOTE=Jeepster1;2118951]Naughty Reviews recently revamped its site and introduced a series of bizarro new rules for submitting reviews. And, you can no longer see even the review titles without a subscription.
Check the support forums there; the feedback is not very flattering.
-Jeepster1.[/QUOTE]I noticed that. You can't even get contact info or send a PM now. Guess my work is done there!

-Jeepster1.[/QUOTE]Agreed. It has become virtually worthless, IMHO. The reviews on there are not worth anywhere close to what they charge for full membership.

It's actually no longer a review site at all, really. Even with paid membership, the only way to access reviews is to request them by pm to the member who wrote one, and then wait to see when that member logs on and hope he replies. They've also added a feature for the providers to review the guys. Total BS and basically worthless, or worse. I will be gone from there unless they change back.

It marginally sucked before. Now it really sucks!
[QUOTE=Cullen;2119643]Totally agree. It marginally sucked before. Now it really sucks![/QUOTE]I too am totally disgusted with new format. I use both sites, for recon information and USA is by far my favorite. The only problem is, I travel extensively and the cities I travel through, do not have the seniors contributing information, near as much as the Cincinnati market does. I'm surprised by the lack of communication nationwide. You'd be surprised, when planning pitstops on a 600 mile jaunt, there's not much to chose from and I'm even trying different routes, to visit along the way. I'd wager the site will be gone shortly, what a shame.

Now you can apparently only get freebies if the ladies you review give you good reviews in return; if your star score and review frequency reaches a certain mysterious floating threshold, based on an algorithm something like a bell curve, then you get a little free time. Since there is no hard incentive to submit a small number of reviews, then the bulk of the review section will shrivel up and die.
I guess they were mightily impressed by the Slixa business model, because it would seem that they are intentionally killing the reviews and morphing into a glitzy, low information content ad site.
The real victims are the providers who have used the reviews there as a primary promotional tool, only to see them disappear for the vast majority of potential clients.
Just looking at subscription costs to clients, is a year of Naughty Reviews worth more than a year of P411 and Date-Check combined? Um, well, no.

-Jeepster1.[/QUOTE]If only we could find a provider who sucked like that site does now. Oh, wait even if we did you would have to PM the guy to find it out. LOL It is tragic for the ladies who relied on the reviews to help get clients. I know several of the reviews were bogus but most of the time you could tell from who left the review which ones were accurate. After a little trial and error, one could figure out who's reviews to trust.
Now Worthless!
[QUOTE=Tenderfoot;2122972]Now Worthless![/QUOTE]I've been a member of NR for awhile and was happy, but after the new format I've made the switch full time over here. Saw someone posted asking about all the new people on here, I'd say that's the reason everyone's leaving and making the change like I did.

And: No more forums!
I guess since 95% of the postings lately were some variation of "NR SUX," then they didn't have the will to continue.
I remembered what that site reminds me of now. . . Anybody been by Bellevue Mall lately?
To The Ladies: are you being badly impacted by the Naughty Reviews collapse?
Seems like the main NR ad activity now is from the Fantasys agency.

-Jeepster1.[/QUOTE]Latest wrinkle: A significant number of seemingly dormant provider profiles allegedly "logged in" today. I guess the site has to simulate activity somehow.

-Jeepster1.[/QUOTE]Damn, I just looked. NR is just a fucking worthless web page.
Wish Jessicia Franklin had logged in for real.
How did the only pic on this thread get to be of a girl from Memphis. Her name is Maria.
Still it's a WTF thing.
