They are doing more than changing the name and raising the price. All the ads in the new "adult services" services section are being reviewed by Craigslist staff before they post. The more explicit ads are going to be gone. There is a noticeable difference already if you look at the new "adult services" section. It's going to be interesting to see where they draw the lines on the long term.

I see some of the providers have moved their ads to the Therapeutic section. Granted, almost all of the ads in this section were for MP's. And all photos are removed. What's next for free speech? Backpage going down next?

Walked in and after seeing the blisters all over Hana decided to pass.

Went to Guad and Dobson.

I have heard the same thing!

**Sparky2** · 05-13-09 18:15

Craigslist is dead. There are no ads with today's date. Perhaps, we will need to move to ******** and backpage ads. Anyone know of any other sites?

Keep seeing post with Sheriff Joe picture regarding Alyssa.

Actually its clever and funny. But, is it true?

Still working on Airah Fae.

Looks like Craigslist is finally dropping the erotic services section. Might have to change the name of this thread pretty soon. XD

I have been curious about both of these:

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/ers/1168281201.html

and

http://phoenix.backpage.com/FemaleEs...Ad?oid=4841937

They both look too good to be true, called both last night, same girl answered, 2 different numbers, one of the numbers googles to a cpa firm in town...... and both have multiple ads posted with the number was quoted 125 tips appreciated, did not try......

My guess is it's at least a service....

any one have experience ?

I would have to agree with Dick North regarding TER. With Elm's publicity & track record. Let's not forget the Advertising of TER on Howard Stearn way too much publicity. Plus I'm sure they could come up with some reason to seize the records. I've had it for a few yrs now mainly because I travel all over the country and originally there weren't that many sites to get info but anymore I've found a lot of places to find info in different cities.
