Re: Streetwalkers Section
[QUOTE=Kalikreams]I'm just wondering guys but wouldnt some of this stuff be better in the streetwalkers section.[/QUOTE]On a purely theoretical basis, yes, it would be better and more logical. The Philadelphia forum made the changeover this year from posting most streetwalker reports in General Reports to posting them in Streetwalker Reports. Both threads are now actively posted to and nearly all reports are logically placed in one of the two. One advantage is that we can now go to find recent activity on streetwalkers and scroll back in the Streetwalkers thread without having wade through non-related information. Likewise, CookyJar's voluminous and lengthy (and highly popular) photograph contributions are now conveniently located in a Streetwalker Photos section, and so the many non-report responses to his photos are now separately located and don't interfere with the concise reporting in the Streetwalker section.
All this said, it is a significant cultural change for posters to all of a sudden put their reports in a different thread than they are used to (General Thread). If it's been working for all these years, why change it? I'm not so sure San Diego is ready for it: it takes a large volume of posts to justify segregating them. And it will take leadership on the part of a respected San Diego contributor to encourage others to begin posting in a different thread.
So my (out-of-town) observation at this point is that things are fine the way they are. It is fairly easy for me to come in once or twice a week, scroll back, and see what's been happening. Compare the stats since 2006 on combined streetwalker/general/photo thread posts: San Diego 1,787, Philadelphia 3,226. When the volume of San Diego reports in the future increases (and this means the volume of SWs will have increased...hooray!), then subdividing the posts might make more sense.
Friday Afternoon around 2:00
Went for an early afternoon cruise to see what was available. I saw a total of 3 BSW's, one near Hollywood, the other two were up around 30th st. As I was making my way back toward the 805 I spotted a WSW that was a potential 9 on the SW scale. She was walking eastbound on ECB (the other side of the road) so I did a quick U-turn to check out the goods. I noticed in my rear view another monger cutting off traffic and driving erratic just to do the same... (please don't drive like idiots guys, it's a big reason why more attention gets drawn to our hobby.)
Anyways, I drive by her and get a good look... she IS a solid 9 so I decided to make a few rights down side streets and talk to her as she makes it to the corner. As I'm making my rights, the genius monger that already cut off traffic follows me every step of the way... Come on man, if you would put 2+2 together you would know that we're doing the same thing and I'm first in line so try another tactic. (please don't drive like idiots guys, it's a big reason why more attention gets drawn to our hobby.)
So I pull up to the corner and she's gone, someone snatched her up before me (and the idiot) so hopefully it was one of you enjoying the goods. Just to give a brief description of the girl, she looked to be about 20 y/o, 5'5'' medium length blond hair and a very sexy body.... she was wearing tight jeans and a tight shirt at the time.
It was amusing to watch the idiot in my rear view looking baffled because she didn't make it to the corner... welcome to the mongering world rookie, hopefully you will find this forum and learn how things should be done. Until then, you'll have to learn the hard way... traffic stops, tickets and getting ripped off. Enjoy!
Sorry to vent, just had to get this one off my chest.
