I agree this board is what it is currently...good, bad, static, it is what it is...
It's not nearly as bad as it has been, that I know for sure from wrecks of the past. I think everyone should take a trip down memory lane or just explore past when you became an active handle/participant/dissident/provider/client...whatever your angle is. It's interesting and if you don't understand history you are bound to repeat it, am I right? I looked up my previous review handle again tonight for shits and giggles. I remember casually looking at posts when the MN board started but I didn't get in to doing reviews until 12/02. Oh those were the days. Please anyone share your thoughts on the history of the board since you have been here. Wong just trying to have an innocent entertaining discussion for a change...I agree it can be very interesting to go back and look at some of the old threads and recall some long forgotten user names and aliases. There's a double standard wherein a hobbyist can have his entire posting history erased and come back under a new handle yet, most of the time, a provider who wants to rebrand herself and come back refreshed, reawakened and with a new attitude, always carries her previous provider's handles linked to her profile and is subject to any bias that others hold of her from her previous identity. Often times, that's a good thing 'cuz a ripoff is a ripoff and you can't breed that out of her but other times ladies deserve a clean slate, too.
And work your way back? I have done that a few times and then I end up randomly jumping around. It's interesting to read up on our common ancestry. Anyone have any thoughts to share on history?
It's interesting to run across the more interesting threads from the past and what was going on then and see posts from various handles that stopped posting years ago.
...malicious the board gets vs. how tame and relatively calm it can be. Recently, there have been many viewpoints expressed that this board, over the past few years, is the worst and ugliest it's ever been but I disagree. This board has been relatively very tame over the last few years compared to what I've experienced where a malicious train wreck every other day was the norm.

That was truly the nastiest I have ever seen it. At one point TER put almost everyone on moderation.
Even you Vorlon?
I was one of those who wasn't moderated.
The topics on page 1384 weren't that interesting but I didn't read all the threads. More curious if there are any providers I'd like to see that were here back then...doubtful though.
One of the original provider posters gave great...well you'll have to PM me about that.
Not easy to find an escort who was active then and is still active now, at least publicly.
I do miss how the providers would talk morevon here. But the way they have been bashed lately I understand why they don't .
way back when there was no cities at all, only a glorified "BBS" called "TheEroticReview", it was a much simpler time when Questions to 'Admin' would be answered within a day. and reviews were actually on point and the words from one to another could be taken at face value. (at least that was how I saw it.) There was no chat, there was only one list / long page of ladies reviewed with no differentiation of cities, area codes, height, .... the only constant thing I remembered from then the same as now were the 'looks' and 'service' scores.
(this is my third or fourth NON-consecutive account and quite likely my last one if any are wondering.)
I sometimes do reminiscence about the board from back then, but seeing how far it has evolved to a useful tool not only as a BBS, but as a reminder on how old I am lol.
By the way, there ARE a 'few' ladies from then who are still active today
