Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

[QUOTE=TheDaytimer;7379625]Try typing the full address as [URL]HTTP://usasexguide.nl/forum[/URL] Be sure to NOT use HTTPS: as the site does not use HTTPS.

Many of the browsers insert the HTTPS: of you use the shortcut "usasexguide. Nl / forum" without the HTTP header.

For some reason this is showing up now and did not before.[/QUOTE]A follow up to the work-around you mention. On my iPhone safari browser, the only way I can get a good connection to the site is to fully type the link as [URL]http://usasexguide.nl[/URL]. However, if I use auto-fill when typing, make it a bookmark, or click on this link while on my iPhone, they all fail with Bad Gateway. All those attempts want to redirect to https. Not sure why the site does not seem to support https. Maybe has to do with all the DDOS attacks.

I asked the question about what happened to Brookee in the 'Escort Reviews' section not long ago. I'm not surprised that no one spoke up as to what happened to her. I asked because the statement was made that "she went off the rails again". Brookee left the business a couple of years ago due to being in the business for a long time, working for Steve at EE, and had a long history of alcohol abuse, all of which would obviously have an adverse affect to a person who had been living that life. To those of you who know her you'd have to agree she was one of the sweetest ladies in this business. I don't know anything about her short lived marriage but I would have to guess it had 2 strikes against it from the start. However, when I heard back then that she was out of the biz I was extremely happy for her and hoped she would be able to shed her demons. It is very sad that those close to her were not more constructive with their advice to her, especially knowing her history with everything including the alcohol abuse problem and recent split with her hubby. I did see the review where she did a 'test run' before actually coming back up here an joining in with the pair of 'bad influences' here. Very sad indeed! I hope she is able to find something that gives her peace and makes her happy before something tragic happens. Best wishes Brookee.

I have not been very active the last couple of years and have had my own issues with this hobby. I think this is the straw that is making me say goodbye to the 'hobby'.

She is a very sweet kind person and sadly taken advantage of by a few. I helped her at her house years ago take care of some things that needed fixing and she absolutely spoiled me rotten. I got hooked up with a nympho in my private life and quit seeing her. I hope she finds happiness and in this life few have the strength to find it. I wonder if her new hubby found her in this hobby. If so that can make things very complicated because she would be caught pretty quick. If she returns I will definitely see her. But either way I hope she is doing well!

ITTE.

How is it possible that the talent around here keeps getting worse? Or am I missing something obvious? Does anyone have a decent rotation that isn't GPS? All my utrs are out of the game.

Some of it has to do with drugs getting both cheaper and more deadly, I suspect. Lost track of all the departed providers, but lost count in the dozens.

But seems to have an impact on this place too. I only come around once every couple months or so now, and I realize I haven't missed that much when I do.

I didn't keep track of numbers, but yes, the number departed locally is certainly in the dozens over the last few years. I've been at this for longer than I'd care to admit, and I don't ever remember a stretch of time as deadly as the one we're in now. Fent sucks.

Traffic here seems way down too. I don't know if / how that's related, or if that's even really how it is.

If it hadn't been for knowing CrazyEddie's cell amd texting him I wouldn't have gotten back on. He sent me a screenshot of a post and I downloaded the Firefox browser and voila, back on.

Seems it started to slow when the ladies couldn't post their ads on here anymore. It was nice to have an interaction on here with a lady if she was new.

The admin at EB have apparently deleted my profile and banned me. I can only assume it is because I called out the mods for only posting my positive reviews but NEVER posting a single one of my negative reviews. What's the point of reviews then??

Thanks for taking the time to review; it help us all.

[QUOTE=BobbyLinn;7385080], working for Steve at EE'.[/QUOTE]Is EE still around? I recall some really nice girls. I haven't been able to find a link to it an longer since COVID. Did it shut down? In Indy we have the agency Discreet Info. Ch and I just think there's going to be a Cincinnati area equivalent. Does Columbus or Dayton have something like that. Just curious because of the PMs I get from Cincy about Indy DI and GH and occasionally AMPs. I don't mind answering them, but is it really a desert over there? Andes.

It has been pointed out by my self and many others not to trust the reviews on EB or listcrawler. Many of us have tried to leave good and bad reviews and they will not post them. And many times if you try and leave a real bad review they will ban you. But most times all you have to do re register with a different screen name. I was kick off twice for leaving bad reviews. As with any review you still need to proceed with caution. Even here I look at reviews by a person that has only that review or maybe one other one with skepticism. Besides this sight the only other two I will look at is the erotic review and callescort. I have left good and bad reviews on those sights and they have always peen posted. But again the one or two posting rule applies there as well.

Owner got busted.
