Thunderdome

[QUOTE=NewOne;1910511] I have noticed that questions are not welcomed from folks with less than a certain number of posts [/QUOTE]IMHO it has nothing to do with the number of posts, but rather whether or not one appears to want be a two way participant both contributing and receiving info here. Also posts asking questions that have already been thoroughly answered in the forum are not generally welcomed with glee. Last, but not least, those who do nothing but ask questions and never contribute reviews, even if they have many posts, are viewed with suspicion, especially after last year's busts and continuing sporadic LE actions. Hope that helps clear up any misconceptions.

I get why they might not want to share info without douchebags given the legal status of the hobby up there, but why waste the time yelling at them.

Seriously I just don't get that. FD I'm not commenting your response, it was an explanation and not douchey at all, I'm speaking over all. Gansett talks about getting unending PM's and that would piss me off as well but guys that can't take the time to read the info on the current page and just jump in asking go on my ignore list.

I have noticed that questions are not welcomed from folks with less than a certain number of posts, what the magic number is I don't know, and don't know if I will be here long enough to find out. I so enjoy the antics though. This place is like a soap opera. Who is lying to who, streetwalkers, 400 lb hookers, whose ads are fake, different names / phone numbers and it seems like you all dislike everyone else. So much so that the administrator had to come up with "Thunderdome" so as not to mess up the forum with all the arguments. [/QUOTE]Thus far, I have remained on the fringes of this hobby. I've hit a few strip clubs and massage parlors, but I have never picked up a phone, dialed a number, and arranged a meeting with a provider. The reason is primarily this message board. It seems that when a guy arranges a meeting, it so rarely leads to a satisfying encounter.

Maybe it would be better to save up your money and see a high class provider every few months than see a BackPage darling every couple of weeks.

I have been a hobbyist since 2002 in the sense of seeing providers and doing reviews, but even longer seeing ladies before I knew of "escorts" and the review process and sharing information. I haven't posted much lately, specifically regarding ladies that are BP posters, working for an agency, etc... Because I have stopped seeing them. High donations, rip offs, less
than expected service for the donations have lead me to stop seeing them, but I still see ladies, I have taken to the UTR route and this stradegy has treated me very well. I have to say I have been lucky with this. There are 3 ladies I see on a regular basis, each one offers me something different that satisfies what I'm looking for. It can be time consuming finding "the diamonds in the ruff" but in the long run for me it's worth it!!

What I'm getting at is why wait to see a provider every few month's when you can find these ladies that are "UTR" and not drain the bank account!! Believe me they are out there, you just have to be diligent and patient in searching.

[QUOTE=BeantownRyan;1920996]Hey board, I need a little help. I want to go to a FS spa but dnt know with one to pick. Its a toss up between one spa, fountain spa and I was thinking about branch st. I have been reading the board and have read good reviews about all. I know I'm going to spend around 200 for house free and donation for os and FS but dnt know how much for branch. Little help please.[/QUOTE]If you have actually been reading the forum then I'm pretty sure you'd know that the Branch Avenue enterprises (there are 2 of them) charge as much for 15 minutes as most AMPs charge for their version of an hour. You'd also know that on Branch Avenue the different providers have varying sliding scales what they charge for different services rendered, and tend to be on the expensive side. Also you'd know that One Spa and Fountain are also very different, with $200 total ($60 for the house and $140 tip) about right for OS (but expect to get shorted on time), but much less for the house and much much more for the tip at Fountain. I guess what I'm trying to say is that maybe, if you'd do a better job reading what's already here, you'll find others have pretty much thoroughly covered the info you are looking for and you should have enough to go on to figure where you want to go.

Still haven't heard a single report from anyone who's actually tried the newer place) generally isn't that much more than what you'd pay at a FS AMP (maybe even less if you go for a 15 min session). Yes, it's for less time...but then again, you're not spending 2/3 rds of the time that you're there getting a massage either. Obviously that's a key difference. It's not a spa. If you want a massage in addition to the extras, then go to an AMP. If you have a thing for Asian chicks, go to an AMP. But if you don't care about the massage so much, or would prefer something other than an Asian girl, then Branch Ave is a good option.

Fly dangler do you need a hug bro, were you bullied when you were younger dude. Calm down buddy you might pop blood vessel. I just dnt like to get beat when I'm paying 200 so I just like all the opinions I can get. Sorry if I offended anybody

.[/QUOTE]WTF? You say you've read the forum, so why ask? We all want as much as we can get for the least. You're going to get beat out of that 200 more than once, many times over in fact. Pull up your underroos, ask mom for her car and take a chance. Don't be a pussy and try to milk a sure thing from someone who has more than likely forgot more than you know.

BTW, you didn't offend me, just pissed me off. GFY.

It seems its a set up be careful guys. Copy and pase the link remove the spaces[/QUOTE]Not sure what the point of this post was. That blog post was made well over a year ago, and seems to refer to an event that occurred in some other state (the hotel chain mentioned in it doesn't exist in RI). I don't recall if a provider calling herself "Treasure" has advertised her services in Providence at all recently, but it sure doesn't look familiar.

[QUOTE=Xeno88;1928981]Looking for a parlor that features a girl or two who are well endowed in the breast region.

[QUOTE=TwentyTwoCents;1928491]Gals over there I've never seen before. Candy is great. She would be my favorite AMP gal in RI. Her TS / ST never miss any hot spot. No haggling or gimmicks. Only thing is pics in ad is not real but doenst matter.

Appreciating you reviewers. Helps me a lot too.[/QUOTE]

Three 1 posters in a row (One of them looking for members to hand over information and one I am presuming was before the admin edit, and the last guy I quoted actually posting a report) in the Massage Parlor Thread. I may not be the best guy to talk, seeing as I asked rookie questions in said thread, but I at least paid the dues in another thread and didn't blatantly ask for info to be handed over on a silver platter. Now I see what you Senior guys were talking about firsthand.

I'll tell you right now that the Rhode Island and Providence Forums have gone downhill quickly. Without Horny (HAH), Gansett and others posting quality information the RI USASG has suffered greatly. In my opinion, this all started when the Thunderdome was created. Why do we need a Thunderdome? What the hell is a Thunderdome? If guys want to "call-out" guys, big deal. It will be over in a day or two. Who cares. The Sr. Members know the rules and made this site great. Now because of differences between the Admins and some Sr. Members we have a lack of quality info. Can you let people share information, good or bad without creating a ruckus?

Dick.
