Site Changes and Improvements

[Sxy Joker]

Tell me more about the busted script that classifieds uses.

First of all, thanks for the consideration of thought and time in to this site. This site has given me advice and helped me stay safe. That being said the only improvement that I have always wanted was a larger search function for pictures. Just so we can see some of the older pics from the larger areas, I. E. Philly. Thanks again!

Starting this week the USASG will be bowing to the inevitable and will be starting pop under advertising.

Yes, we are fully aware that we had something on the banner FAQ that said we would never do that. Considering the pace of business today we think 16 years qualifies as nearly forever. This is not a decision that we made lightly, it's something we have been kicking around for almost a year. At the end of the day we decided to go ahead for two main reasons;

1. Considering the state of most websites after banners, popunders are about the least intrusive ads you will find.
2. The money was pretty good. (We really love hookers and for all of us the site is about what we like, but we also like money)

Money is important. As you guys know we launched the USA Adult Classifieds about a year ago. To say they have been a disappointment thus far would be a bit of an understatement but we haven't given up on the idea. We knew nothing about that business when we started and made some mistakes. Among other things, the script we bought wasn't up to the task, we didn't have the money to promote it. We have been in talks with a development team and one of the things we want to do with the revenue from the new ads is redo that site. We continue to think the idea is a good one and we have a lot of great advertisers there, we want to make it a great site and have a plan to improve it.

We have wanted to develop subscription level services as well for a long time. Live regional chat, private areas, more robust search, lots of things a lot of you guys have wanted. Again, this takes a lot of money. To start, for those of you that simply hate the ads, we will be offering the ability to anybody to turn them off. That won't be free but it's going to be cheap as hell, just $19.95 a year. Hell some of you guys that have been lurking here for 10 years might want to think about getting a subscription just to help out. We looked at other sites like our that charge subscriptions and it's a shitload more than a buck and a half a month. That link should be available next month.

For now all that's going to change is once a day you will have to click on the X on another window when you leave, nothing more than that. What that will bring you by years end is a much better USASG. We think it's a fair trade off.

I'll be checking this thread a lot in the next week or so, so if you have a comment or suggestion, please feel free to leave it.

Thanks,
