I guess us lowly Regulars are going to have to band together and share Info between us, this "senior only" stuff, in IMHO is childish. At a time like this we all need to be on the same page. I just spent the last 2 hours gathering as much Info (photos and numbers) from sites that are still up as I can. Don't know how it will pan out but I'll see.
P.S. I'm still not sure what a Senior Member is.
Monoxide.
It appears that Backpage has been seized by the USA Department of Justice.
[QUOTE=Mazvid;3789070]So what are we to do now?
EB still work on mobile sites but perhaps not for long.
Backpage is down. Craiglist is down.
TER works but it is a paid service.
The usasexguide advertisement section has maybe 10 ads for the country.
Half the fun was just jerking off while looking at the ads before paying them a visit.[/QUOTE]They have blocked access to US users.
It's fucked up how they are only going after straight men as well when "grindr" and other non straight apps or sites are free and clear, the whole "fighting sex trafficking" gimmick is insane when most of this is consenting adults and independents to my knowledge.
I wondered why I had trouble with EB two days ago accessing the US cities, now I know why.
Honestly its wrong what they are doing, and I bet they come for this site as well.
Bottom line is this is a waste of time and money when the FBI should be going after serious issues or threats not this.
[QUOTE=FunShip75;3790441]They have blocked access to US users.[/QUOTE]Via vpn or simulation in chrome (scroll down to previous page for instructions).
Let's not forget that for us its an option. These providers rely on us heavily to pay rent, food, etc. I think they need us more. I like this.

[QUOTE=Jusblaze1;3790754]Fing J. Sessions. Little Mr. Magoo ass muthafucker.[/QUOTE]This will not stop the hobby. It will change it. The number of street walkers will increase, and others will move to sugar baby sites. And the block will see a resurgence. The rules of the game changed. Just be patient. These enterprising young ladies will soon find a work around. It won't be as convenient as BP, but it will cone back.

She is non-photogenic, she is much cuter in person than what these pic show.
[QUOTE=Jusblaze1;3790754]Fing J. Sessions. Little Mr. Magoo ass muthafucker.[/QUOTE]Well, thank God there will be no more prostitution in the whole world! All things are safer now, especially for the wimmins. Thank you Donald Trump!
[QUOTE=Jusblaze1;3790754]Fing J. Sessions. Little Mr. Magoo ass muthafucker.[/QUOTE]It's not only Mr Magoo, it all comes from Pence and that idiot some call their Prez.
There are already some BP girls on eros.
I think this is going to be a problem for them because it looks to be for show and to score points with prudes more than an application of the law. There are as we know sites still up like grindr, POF, SA, eros and more. They can't all go away and it won't be long before people find loop holes, work arounds and THIS site's ad section.
I am not a lawyer but it does seem like a free speech issue. As long as people aren't overtly offering an illegal contract, then it's just people talking. If they take down one like BP than everything else might go too and this action could have all kinds of unintended consequences.
I bet BP's lawyers are working overtime and have a plan.
I also think it's going to be funny when we all discover work arounds and loopholes. I can just see it now, BP girls getting into the hourly onsite tool rental business. You could rent that angle grinder for just the hour you need it from a BP girl who, in her hotel room, show you how to use it. How many guys here could use an hour instruction on how to use a torque wrench? If you already know, you'd probably be happy to get an hour long refresher.
I predict this won't last and local governments are going top get pissed because all those BP girls that used to work indoors are now on the streets. Why do people think the SW scenes in many places aren't what they used to be? And the Block? All that action moved online and off the dangerous streets. Even old BCPD commissioner wife beater K Clarke said his stated policy for street crime (mostly drugs) was to move it indoors. The feds just undid that for every city. What a bunch of dumbasses.
For the moment, keep the working numbers you have handy. You will need them for a while; but after a while this will resolve itself and if the fed's case fails, it will resolve itself better than it was before.
My $. 02.
If there are any lawyers on here who would care to weigh in and explain some of this, I bet we would all appreciate it.
I have a feeling the feds may have mis stepped here and may not ultimately get what they want or, from their perspective, make things worse.
[QUOTE=OldChineseGuy;3791103]It's not only Mr Magoo, it all comes from Pence and that idiot some call their Prez.[/QUOTE]There are plenty of do-gooders on both sides of the aisle. Kamala Harris, a progressive Democrat, aggressively went after Backpage and its owners when she was attorney general of California. She's now a senator and strongly supported the FOSTA legislation now awaiting the president's signature or veto.
The Polaris Project, one of the top anti-trafficking organizations today, falls on the left side of the political spectrum. So does the International Justice Mission, which is religion-based but comes from a "social justice warrior" perspective.

My $. 02.[/QUOTE]I refuse to go street shopping. I got so good at spotting a online sting, that when I called a decoy lady, L. E. Called cell and gave me a fing warning. No that I called a undercover decoy and blah blah blah. Basically all I did was make an appt. For say 1 pm then never showed, set up another appt. And again never showed. Now a real working girl would just move on to next appt. But I was disturbing their sting operation.
After that I just told the ladies to answer the door in the nude.
