Bring back the regional photo themes!

While change is often difficult, I can't see a need for this one. Perhaps it makes things easier for admin to monitor the regional photo themes? I, for one, will not take advantage of the new photo board under the TER General Boards. I like our local ladies, and the photo themes they came up with and then voluntarily chose to participate in allowed a little of their personalities to come through. I have no need nor desire to see photos of women from all over the country or the world that I'll likely never consider visiting in person. I won't sort through the handles of numerous providers in an attempt to determine who lives and provides in our general vicinity. I don't care for this move, at all. Please leave it the way it was!

Many of the regional boards are dead. Take away theme days any you will probably kill them.  
Just another case of TER showing their muscle and screwing with people.  
I check 3 local boards and I am luck to see 8 posts a week combined. I check another website and see 25 per day!
What is that telling you. If Ter screws enough there will be nothing left. Kind of like what happened with chat!

Although some including myself, could think it's a tacky suggestion.

 
I'm not sure if TER could technically make this work? I would like to see a Flat View option for all posts, all photos. Flat View for the entire page, verses clicking every post, to view photos.

Photo theme days generate a lot of traffic on Regional boards.  Just look at the number of reads on any given photo.  There are literally tons of places on the internet to look at photos of women you will never meet.  See no need for what is just one more.  Posts on Regional boards at least were women located in or traveling through your local area.  If you want to do away with theme days, fine, just create Regional photo only boards.

But then again I had no interest in looking at the regional photo theme threads that were (are) populated by the same old 10 gals week in and week out.  With the same old pics that they had 10 years ago.  

So putting them all in a place that doesn't clutter up a regional board may indeed shed a different light on some of the less posted regional boards.  Or not.  

Either way many cried (as in the gals primarily) when the ad boards were segregated.  And in some cases a regional board became a ghost town while others had minimal traffic.  But I liked that idea as well as it's much easier to peruse there and see if anything looks interesting at a glance.

If you need to look at the same old pics of the old hags...go to her website and whack off to it from there.

Otherwise become pro-active and start a thread every day on your regional board and discuss something of value.  Or just whine here about another change you don't care for.

Others are just expressing their opinion and surprise at the seemingly sudden change.  As tired and sometimes redundant as they may be, these theme threads provided much needed activity on some very slow boards.  And while I don't disagree with the point made about people needing to post interesting comments to keep the slower regional boards alive and interesting, I don't see where the photo themes were hurting anyone.  As several of you are fond of pointing out in your clever retorts on other boards, if you don't like something, you are perfectly free to NOT click on it.  

I really like the idea of limiting use of the same photo, as they have done on the new photo board.  It is just my observation, but it seems that a few rules could have been changed to resolve some of the main complaints without removing the threads completely.  

No whine, just fact!

this whole business of blowing off the regional & bdsm photo theme SUCKS!

it doesn't really matter to me, or basically anyone else, what i say or think... so i'm just gonna be a blurter and ramble like a 'tard lol  

this whole business of blowing off the regional & bdsm photo theme SUCKS! (imo)

really!! was it broken?

 i really wish that ter had spent my hard-earned vip dollars on making it so that i could read the threads without going to flat & then reading out of context & looking stupid for posting outta context.  

i wish so many things, but hey, if wishes were rainbows, we'd all be unicorns; riding each others fucking unicorn horns. right?

so in closing, i say "meow, my friends. meow!"

just my silly 2 cents,...

 
ps- i may be one of those "old hags that are always hoarding the photo theme days & keeping the other hotties from posting on their regional board" but at least i'm not a fucking closed minded whore  

so, rip me to shreds, then eat me hahahaha
i'm not whining, just venting.

xoxo,  
love ya, missy

I could care less about looking at pictures of escorts in cities I will never get to. I don't want to scroll down an entire page to find pictures of escorts in a city I will be visiting g. It wasn't broke, why did you try and fix it.

It was fun to come up with ideas every few days and see how creative the girls are in posting pictures in response.  

Now we can post a photo everyday on one board .... Yet there are no themes ... No organization ... And who is going to be the one to make sure someone doesn't post the same pic in a 30 day period???

The activity on the photo board seems dismal... Very few views. if people don't want to look at the pictures on the regional boards they don't have to click on them. But there are those who come to the regional board mainly to view the pictures on the theme threads then read another thread and post a comment.

Based on the number of views that they received on the regional board/s I look at, they seemed pretty popular with some posts occasionally getting over 1k views or at least the high hundreds.  Now over here... I can hear crickets chirping.  I would think the ladies will stop posting if they don't feel they are getting any attention and I would certainly miss that.  The photo themes were often something to shift the mood on the regional board in a positive direction.

Taking away the regional Photo theme days is a huge mistake.

They brought fun and excitement to the regional boards, most of the guys loved them, AND it gave visiting ladies an additional way to visually say "hello" to the guys I the region they were visiting.

The photo theme days literally breathed life into the 60' board, it will now be a desert wasteland on that board.

Honestly I wish all of the ladies would just NOT post on the new photo board in support of bringing the regional photo theme days back!

But there are those who won't do that. I always had special pics taken for Christmas, New Years, Valentine's Day and July 4th to put on  the regional board. It makes me sad that it won't be available on my regional board any more or any regional board where I have a visiting ad.

PLEASE give us back our regional photo theme days, even if you take one day away, like Saturday. Maybe 2 days would be better then no days.

And I took a look at the Photo Board and just shook my head. It has no personality what so ever. It's just not any fun to me.

Sadly,

Steph from NC.

Those who weren't interested could easily skip them while those liked them could readily find pics of local and touring ladies.  Having all pics on one board is something I am unlikely to visit unless I have a specific reason to go look for pics of a particular provider.  Even then, I am more likely to look for an ad or website.

My first reaction was to WTF? Maybe there is an explanation or good reason for the change I don't seen one but I as the other members would love to hear the reasoning behind this change.
Not only did the regional theme threads encourage flirting and friendliy banter between us fellas and the ladies they were also great for a quick look if traveling to a new area.  
The present layout is not organized in any way and other then maybe some 13 year old kids coming across it for spanking material it is pretty much useless.  
For me as for a lot of other fellas the regional threads helped us know who was in our area and maybe cultivate communication through our flirts and their responses. I'm sure it was  much better for the ladies from a business standpoint than the current board.  
I am very interested to hear the reasoning behind the change and how it is supposed to benefit our little community. More local board activity should be encouraged it's better for everyone.

Will there be any answers or replies to the comments: complaints about the photo thread change? At the very least it would be nice if admin would explain the reason for the change.

Theme Days allowed an opportunity for a touring lady as well as locals not only strut their stuff with pics  but to share a little of their persona. Clever banter and playful comments always added to the board.

As someone who travels I found the Theme Days a useful tool as I considered who I might wish to meet. I have lost that service from TER.  

I actually think the addition of the photo board is a good idea. But as an added service , not a trade off. It looks like a good place for a lady to catalog their pics should someone wish to do a search. But it certainly lacks the fun of the Theme Days. It certainly can not be considered a value added deal.  

I fear TER has bowed to the loudest members. Many who I am convinced would like to see TER prohibit any participation from the ladies .  No girls allowed !

What bothers me is there seemed to be no considrations of reasonable options or compromise. A reduction of Theme Days to once a week is an example.

It appears to me a certain segment of TER membership has exceptional influence over TER policies.

Too bad.

This will give others a real idea of how many people are really visiting the board. Maybe TER can see how many clicks are coming through to see themselves which is what i'm hoping but I think those members who aren't happy will calm down if they actually see some success.  

As with every change I have seen on TER it has been very difficult for members to accept or see the reason why. You can't make everyone happy.

I wouldn't post on a board where there is less chance of meeting anyone . I think the idea of a photo board was a good one for men who like just looking. It's good draw to get new men to come to the site just like free porn. The next move for them is to see what is really available in their area. The regional boards have been lacking in community interest and this change could have a real negative affect.  I don't think it works for regional exposure or community.
 
Many women posted pics but seldom posted any literary landscape here. Nothing wrong with that because most ladies feel any negative verbiage can or will affect their bottom line. Useless or troublesome is what I have seen as comments to so many of ladies posts.
 
What the new board does offer could be a win, win for touring ladies who now can post their locations every day. So do you collar the men and drag them there. In time it might work but TER has little chance of controlling their old posting rules about pictures and touring.  
 
Let's face it the boards are a very low percentage of traffic to TER. They are not what most men come here for but those that do expect it to offer regional entertainment and updates that affect them. Forget about the ladies because the essence of this board is for the man who is looking for safety in numbers.
 
I could go on but lastly l will say "a picture is worth a thousand words". Not easy to put your foot in your mouth, shows participation and grabs someone's attention.
 
My vote not that it matters is, I wish they added the new board and kept the local board as it was.
