Rubmaps and other thoughts
[QUOTE=OnlyMe1234;7321166]Wow, I can't believe how dead it is. I just logged in for the first time in a long time and there's only 8 places that have a newest review in the past year, only 4 in the last 5 months and as you mentioned, all four are out of town. Even the forum is dead, with only one topic having any posts within the past year. I guess I haven't been missing anything by not going there in a long time.
I'm guessing it doesn't help that their rates are now $49/ mo, $175/6 mos or $249/ yr. Who's going to pay those rates for a worthless site.[/QUOTE]I don't think a subscription to Rubmaps is worth it. It was never heavily used in the Twin Cites and there is not much local information. Might be worth a month if you have travel plans to check out what is available at your destination.
I think there are two reasons why things have been slow in the forum recently. The technical difficulties that made accessing the site difficult. Can't post if you can't get to the site. Those issues appear to be fixed.
The second reason is there is not a lot to discuss. The two best AMPs Maple Leaf and Summer have been closed. Even some old reliable places are changing. I have been going to Harmony Massage in Shoreview since they opened in 2016. I have never left without L1 until today. I think it might be under new management and is no legit. It was disappointing. All I wanted to do was get out of the hear, get a halfway decent massage and a handy. I guess it wasn't in the cards today.
Eventually something will replace Maple Leaf and Summer until that time I don't think there will be much to talk about regarding AMPs.
