Cincinnati's SW thread: long active history, valuable thread. Keep it that way.
How valuable is the Cincinnati SW thread? Compare it to most municipal boards around the nation for its engaged activity. How about the pros and cons?
PROS:
1) It provides an opportunity for exchange of observations and experiences so that all, especially the newbies, can get a feel for the terrain, and how to negotiate, both geographically and economically.
2) It is a means of exchange of idea and strategies based on monger's experience. In this way, we can acknowledge superior dates with an SW which will raise her status, and make it more likely known mongers can benefit. It also makes it more likely that SWs will be treated both with RESPECT (making positive experiences more likely), and CAUTION (making negative experiences less likely.)
3) Report LE activity, changes in venues, SWs to avoid. This is especially true these days when venues seem to be changing every day.
CONS:
1) Well-to-do non-street-players "dis" street mongers. OK, some of us do not have the resources to hire a high ticket escort. (And hey--take a look at that board to see how satisfactory many of THOSE encounters may be.) No one said there are not risks. So... do call girl encounters have NO risks??? In fact, the risks are the same as with SWs, but with different complexities and considerably greater $ costs). However, 'surfing' the streets and finding that "diamond in the rough" is fabulously rewarding for mongers with moderate means. Yes, it does take cajones...
2) Increasingly, we see inbred "knowing" exchanges between a few posters who slap each other on the back and insinuate that other mongers, not part of the club, are somehow of less value. Let's keep it all up front. We are all brothers who can respect each other's opinions, and "Live and let Live." Support each other, give constructive advice, but be inclusive not demeaning and exclusive.
3) Flaming has reached a troublesome level. As suggested above, do your best to ignore the ignorant. (I fail here sometimes...) Engaging in a flame throwing contest is briefly satisfying, but demeans the forum.
The Cincinnati SW thread has a long history as one of the more active, rich and valuable forums on USASG. If you want to improve it, make posts which are rich and valuable, and leave the petty stuff out.
[QUOTE=Nkykinkyguy]No more street walker thread for the kid here. Way too much crazy! Bible thumping, boycott's, Assman agreeing with a troll. Hell has froze over and I am sticking to my own areas. I knew there was a reason I rarely view this thread. Good luck guys you have my respect and admiration please feel free to contact me if I can be of assistance but this thread is way out of my league.
