Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

Someone start a thread to contain the provider / client kisses and the posts thanking gents for reviews.

I find it absolutely hysterical that you would take the time to post in a thread saying you will now be ignoring that thread.

[QUOTE=Lugnutz;1914808]There are entire useless threads I can now ignore without fear of wasting time or losing my lunch, such as movie trivia quotes, how to make women squirt, daty advice, the collected works of Phatdaty, and for the most part this thread. I'm going to go back to going dark on it too.

[QUOTE=TheGoodSh;1915088]But why is the escort reviews thread 50% mongers and providers blowing kisses at each other?

I guess it's become the convention for that thread, but if that stuff could be handled via PM (where it belongs), then the thread would ONLY be reviews (which is the point, I believe).[/QUOTE]When a provider responds in some way to a review, it lends credence to its legitimacy. Without an acknowledgment of some sort, it could just be LE or some other sort of creep, trying to gain some credibility in the hobby that he doesn't deserve. Doing that via PM does not accomplish that.

I'm not saying you should moderate it. I really just think it's something people should consider when posting in those threads. If it wasn't so pervasive, I wouldn't notice it.[/QUOTE]Yeah I know what you mean, at times it is a little excessive, I just hate penalizing good customer service. I might talk to Jax and see if we can put the "Thanks" button on the USASG like we have on our local one down here.

Good point, thanks.

There is a point to each and every thread and the ones like "escort reviews" should be used for just that. It's one thing for us providers to respond and say thank you and how we enjoyed our time also but all the conversating should be done by PM's or the right threads. I love reading everything you mean like and want so I can keep learning and working to improve my services. But it's more of a soap opera lately and lots of conversating than reviews and the men's opinions. I think it needs to get back on track.

-BigBird69.[/QUOTE]I wondered the same thing myself when reading Lugnutz's goodbye. The Octagon is like a martini, an acquired taste. Maybe Lugnutz hasn't downed enough of it to acquire the taste. He sounds like it's coming back up.

I am certain that some of the mongers enjoy having their ego stroked by the responses. I think a short "thank you" by the providers would be sufficient. It does not need to go on for paragraphs, the topic is escort reviews not monger reviews.

I happen to agree with ClassASweetie. However, when I see a thank you it does give more assurance the exchange did take place. Thereby making me more comfortable. Sometime around April or May someone here posted a report on Crissee. Then one of the mongers informed us she was on vacation. If Crissee or any other provider validates their sessions it makes it easier to move forward with confidence.

I know the point I am making is not very strong as it was someone else who told us she was out. What I am really saying the more cross references and validations we have the better. It just does not need to ramble on forever.

Jim.[/QUOTE]Actually I prefer to have something else stroked by a provider.

Jim.[/QUOTE]How is it possible to get your ego stroked by someone you paid for a service?

First off, I apologize for stepping on any toes over here in the western wastelands. I play in upstate NY but come over here for the drama. While I don't always participate, sometimes I enjoy reading the humorous bullshit that goes on around here sniping at each other for petty crap. Laughs and insults abound, but it is all amusing, nonetheless.

You all should thank your lucky stars that this forum simply EXISTS! What a great place to exchange info and intel on providers and areas to cruise for SW and reviews about massage parlors etc. The simple fact that we are all here and IT WORKS is pert near a miracle! That is a really great thing!

Not so many HERE have been around this site as long as me. I started reading and posting in late 2003-2004 and back then it was virtually a desert. Almost a full decade later you have forums that are active and vigorous in MANY MANY cities across the country. That is beyond cool IMHO.

Now you have people complain that there is TOO MUCH activity- not related directly to pay for play- drama- personal rants- movie quotes- PhatDaty- and God knows what else. You folks who complain should be banished forever to the 'Dark Ages' before this forum when we had to figure shit out all by ourselves. Those were VERY dangerous times for Johns and providers. Why do they complain? Because there is too much extraneous shit to find the reviews and information? Perhaps I am mistaken but are not the forums divided into individual THREADS? Each THREAD has a topic that relates to the information inside? WTF!

We should all consider ourselves lucky here. We have built and participate in a COMMUNITY, and that means interaction. Just because some individuals do not wish to 'interact' with others beyond sex-service, doesn't mean ALL don't or won't. The human condition dictates that we discuss a central topic (sex) but eventually will branch off into other discussions, it is in our nature. And there can be NOTHING BETTER than MORE interaction with more and more folks. The more people who participate means the greater the VOLUME of information available- which is a tangible benefit. AND, the Admins have seen to it that we can divide and separate those discussions to make it easier for folks who ONLY want to find reviews about finding pussy! HOW CAN YOU BE UNHAPPY WITH THAT?!

I understand there is a lot fluff or drama from time to time, but if there was ONLY reviews and NOTHING else, I can assure you traffic would not be what it is and information wouldn't flow as freely. Take it from a dinosaur who was here in the early days. You guys have it good! If you don't believe me, visit some of the forums in other cities that are not as lucky as your own- crickets baby! Crickets!

Peace.
