The host we have had for years stopped supporting enterprise hard drives so we are trying to run the site on the same kind of drives you would have in a desk top and they can't keep up.
We have already paid for a new server that will be a massive upgrade from the last one and are planning on migrating this weekend.

Good to know, thanks for the update!

It's the host, they stopped supporting enterprise drives so we are stuck with the same kind of drives you have in your desktop. They are simply overwhelmed with the traffic. We are currently looking to migrate to a different host.

We hope to have this resolved in a few days.

We appreciate your patience.

The domain ends in. Nl so I would assume the servers are there in The Netherlands as well. That would explain why things are so slow for us in the US.

I disagree.

If the mods / admins do it right and scale it, they can disrupt shitty sites like RubMaps, give these shops a place to update everyone on who is where and their current specials, and give everyone a place to communicate and share info directly with shops.

Not all the shops will be interested, of course, but I'd think for a monthly fee (ultimately nominal for the shops), most would be happy to have a place on the internet to share real information instead of all the gossiping, gatekeeping, and coded language.

Is it weird? Yeah, but the trade-off is worth it, I think.

Please tell me how, with what I am sure is your 40 years of experience running forums like this (that's how much the boss and I have together) how you would end the fucking cancer that these shill accounts have come to be while simultaneously developing a new revenue source that's good for the shop, the monger, and us?

Remember, you have to give them a place to communicate with customers while also giving the customer a place to accurately review them that stops the erosion of confidence the forum has experienced since this issue started blowing up two years ago.

Please tell me wise one, I'm fucking waiting.

It's too bad that hot tub place on Stark closed.

The fantasyland in Clackamas has big booths with long padded benches. They're pretty private although the walls are open on top and you can hear most stuff going in there. No gloryholes or anything like that and the doors lock so very private.

I banged a few girls there in the past. It was ok but not the most comfortable in the world. There were no soft surfaces to relax on and lay down for some banging fun. The water was ok. Heavy chlorine for sure. Temps were hard to get right, Sometimes depending on the time of the year. The rooms were cold. So banging out of the water was not as fun as it should be.

Other than that Sadly I do not know of any places besides Everett house and Common ground which are not private at all. But communal hot tubs.

If you find a new fun place to soak. Please let us All know.

Used to be that hot tub place on Stark. Wonder if any alternatives opened up.

Taboo 82: the room at the end of the hall directly to your left as you enter the arcades. Its an oversized 2 person private room with a wooden bench. Room 1, on the other end of the arcade near the GHs is a really big room. Used to have a leather couch, but has been replaced by a wooden bench. #lame.

Paradise Stark: the first room immediately to your left is oversized room with wooden bench.

Can't speak for the West side (2 locations) Mr peeps. I haven't been there, but I hear they are very clean.

All Adult on mcgloughlin had a leather bench in Room 12 at the end near the rounded corner, but was recently replaced by two metal chairs.

I suspect the owners of these establishments don't want you very comfortable. Think plastic booths at mcdonalds. Come in, get your sh*t done, and get out. Don't hang out too long. LOL.

Also the theater at the place on 99 E in lower Milwaukie on the right heading south right by the Starbucks also on the right.

Do realize the majority of folks in those little booths as well as the the theaters are gay or bi males. If being naked in that environment makes you uncomfortable, you may want to skip.
