[QUOTE=VinnieKramer;7450393]Pre-owned condoms are the way too go.[/QUOTE]Trump hasn't even begun to address the skyrocketing costs of hookers and condoms. Probably trying to deport all the occupants of the Asian and Latina no-tel brothels too (though that hasn't happened yet here, and I wonder why ICE is hanging around Home Depot parking lots when it would be pretty easy pickings to raid some of the immigrant brothels and call it a human trafficking raid too).
[QUOTE=SmokeyGringo;7450642]Has lost all integrity and is hanging on by a thread and it shows in every post across all forums and the constant shit logins and vpn / browser shit we all have to do. If ain't the nastiest ass street walker section, the dudes just paying unworthy chicks, the ripoffs, Tonguengroove (HBBOB) not able to complete a paragraph without bring up DivineRachel, the "UTR"'s wanting $500, it's admin asleep and moody at the wheel. With that, I'm bowing out. There ain't one single review of a chick I would see, nor would see if you paid for it in the last 6 months. And the reality I had some homegrown chicks and working on some stuff but. Fuck it.[/QUOTE][BLUE]You have been a member for over 20 years and in that time you have made a total of 295 posts including these last three.
That means you could barely be bothered to contribute once a month and the vast majority of your posts have nothing to do with pussy, you are either complaining about only fans or shitting on somebody else's review.
You are correct, we have had a lot of technical issue this year, mostly because we never charged guys to use the forum so there was never enough money to keep it properly updated. We never got an SSL cert because that meant having to pay a developer to go through the files to make sure everything is SSL compliant. Now we are and you will note it says https not http on the web site. We never had to worry about DDoS attacks because until recently nobody cared enough to attack us so now we had to upgrade the server.
We face two major problems going forward.
1. AI driven attacks and bullshit reviews.
2. Assholes like you that fucking take and never give AND do your level best to run other people off.
You deciding to fuck off like the punk you are was a fucking gift, you contributed shit and this forum is better without you.
Yeah, I said what I said and if you were standing in front of me I would say it to your face.
Good riddance, now fuck off. I'm going to enjoy banning all the alt users you make to come back.

[QUOTE=ToddCincy;7451416]Although my style is a little different (a product of too much corporate HR training) I can commiserate with Smoky Gringo.
I don't blame the board or the moderators. The problem is the state of the market. We would all be a lot less cranky if the market were better.
For example, a few months ago there was a UTR who was described as "expensive" and who would only see guys under 40. I was like: "The average provider on here is now over 40. Are the hobbyists now expected to be younger than the providers?
But such are the contradictions of an upside-down market. Prior to the pandemic, there was something for everyone and most budgets.
Nowadays, most of the providers are older and / or heavier. That suits some, but many of us simply can't find what we want now at a reasonable price.
I've been posting less not because I'm mad at the board, but because I realize that I add little by pointing out how old / overweight / overpriced every provider is. And so I've become a lurker, waiting for better times.
The employment market seems to be slowing down. That may lead some younger, thinner ladies to consider opportunities in the male entertainment field. (And you guys who don't mind the older / heavier ones will benefit from *much* lower prices.).
Until then, I'm trying to remain as tactful as possible. That often means saying nothing, when I can't think of anything positive to say.[/QUOTE][URL]http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/forum/showthread.php?583-Medellin-Reports[/URL]
About 70 bucks.
I'm confused since I been out of the hobby some time, though I'm in my early 30's. Not 40's LOL I don't understand is there another USA website to post on? Lmk I'm definitely interested. I love this forum it's the original I started in and plan to stay in if I'm able.

AMEN Admin2!
I've had my hand slapped by you guys a couple of times, usually because I posted something I didn't really realize was an issue, but hey, it's y'all's playground, and we have to play by the rules. I've never felt like why'all were being heavy handed.
All that said. Have you ever considered putting the site behind a paywall? As long as it was reasonable, I'd be willing to pay a sub for the information that is provided. It might weed out some of the riff raff, and while I'm sure it wouldn't completely dissuade LE, it might cut it back a little. I've always wondered why we never went that way. The old Classified Ad site was the SHIT! Really miss that part. Thanks again for what why'all do.

(You saw what happened to the BP guys) but recent events have changed what it means to run a site like this.
Our sister site has been taking bitcoin for subscriptions for a few years and we will be doing that here as well. Like over there you won't have to pay to read or post and we are batting ideas back and forth how to handle guys who have been around a long time but soon we are going to offer premium memberships which would include features like turning off ads, avatars, maybe some other stuff depending on demand. It's not going to be like seeking charging a hundred a month but something like the other site.
Our expenses have increased a lot in the last year with having to get a better server, pay for DDoS protection, we got a hired gun who is going to bring from the 80's where we are to maybe the early 2000's so the ads alone aren't going to cut it. We know we lost a lot with the problems we had last year but we still have critical mass and we want to bring a better product. (If anybody has any ideas how to spot AI generated reviews I'm all fucking ears).
The problem with adult sites like ours, specifically sites that talk about pay for play is that no banks will give you CC processing which is why Seeking changed it's name and you can't go from our site to cuddle comfort so we got to figure a way around it. BTC payments are getting easier so we are probably going to go that way.
You guys should be seeing some updates soon.

1st, thanks for the detailed response, and it makes complete sense. The "bigger" you are, the more $$$ you're bringing in, the more eyes that turn to you.
However. Am I just that dense, or is this "sister site" not talked about freely on the forums? I had NO IDEA there was a sister site. Is it the "Cuddle Comfort" site that you mentioned?

Speaking of fake reviews. The oThER site has turned into a cesspool of fabricated posts. Asian agencies are using handlers or agents to pump out glowing reviews and artificially hype the girls, the same tactic they tried with the AH girls in Columbus and when they tried to open shop in Cincinnati (and failed numerous times). Unfortunately, this fake-review strategy has spread to a surprising number of non-Asian accounts as well. For example, Betina suddenly has three new Cincinnati-based reviews from users who have never reviewed anyone in this area before, all mysteriously giving 10/9 ratings. It's total BS. The oThER site can't be trusted at this point. Thankfully, never have seen this level of fakery on USASG as its members will call it out, and Admin won't stand for it.
Actually BTC is a little scary for me, but I don't want to miss out on the info here.
I do this from my Kindle so it's more discrete. I hope you find a way around it.

I use another service that requires BTC payments (I actually use LiteCoin.) I was nervous at first but once I got it set up, it became really convenient. I can now transfer a payment in less than a minute. I actually prefer it for some transactions as I no longer need to worry about sharing personal credit card info or updating burner cards. It's like having a bit of a cutout between my personal accounts and the payment. I do not believe a lot of the hype around BTC anonymity but it is certainly better than a lot of the alternatives.
BAM.
