Despite what we may think here on TER, but we are in the minority. There are far more guys spending money, especially BP type money who do not do their research or really know much at all about this world.Thus, I don't think that the problem is having a place to advertise, it is more of having a place to advertise where guys will know to go look. BP had made it really easy for awhile, for the guys who were not as educated to simply find a selection of ladies.

Not sure if they'll leave this up, but BP adult section goes down. Check it out yourself. I can only imagine this will drive prices up. Less supply, but same demand
Hopefully folks saved ads on their hard drives.

Before BP, alot of ladies used CL to advertise. I am sure that the ladies who used BP will find another spot to advertise themselves.
If anyone figures out where the ladies are going, let everyone here know.
I doubt this will change business at all for the ladies who are here on TER. It will probably drive the prices down for the ladies who used to advertise on BP exclusively, as they are now going to be desperate to get what ever they can get until they find another well know place like BP.

Prices won't go down. There are plenty of other sites to advertise on that will just pick up traffic. No reason for girls to ask for lower rates. Wishful thinking for some I imagine. 
to help spread the word on where some of these ladies should take their advertising.
I know that many of the ladies on BP are fairly new to the biz, and may not know where to move to.
I am sure they will figure it out as we have when we first started. The wonderful world of google, or talking to a fellow girlfriend in the business. Things are much easier to find today than they were years ago. I wouldn't worry too much about the new talent not finding their way.
that's very true Sidney 
never underestimate people doing a google search. I first heard about BP and craigslist 17 years ago in grade school because of TV.....so I figured it was all LE/stings by 2000. Hell, google lead me to this website TER 6-7 yrs ago to let me know BP wasn't all LE as I figured anything talked/known about was only a way to catch people.
for many of years while being of age i figured strip clubs and massage were the only way to "hobby" and you hope to be able to get extras as LE was the only one's posting on CL and BP.
point being...in the google era bp going down doesn't mean much. it will be a quick recovery.
The sites you listed are still functional. I hear from many providers that eros is too expensive ($150/post) and cityvibe never gets much traffic. I do feel as adultsearch is still solid but not as widely used as years past.
In reference to the debate in whether girls will adjust their rates. The law of economics still exists: +demand = + cost, - demand = - cost.
I think people will adjust accordingly and check on this website. And lets not forget social media advertising....Instagram hoes are not all just posters of raunchy pictures, some are really play for pay, lol.
In the era of social media....adjustment shouldn't be a major issue. you know unless facebook and twitter not only go after fake news, but go after providers, ha.
Looks like some have moved to the BP "women seeking men" forum.
That will be shut down too. There will be no "loopholes" for BP.
I was already nestled into the DMV at the time and luckily had started using a few different sites, but when stuff like this happens it is a big hit for a lot of ladies. I'm sure there are females going crazy right now trying to figure out where they will post in the morning and I really feel for them. I use a few different sites, but even when I went to look I said, and I quote, "f**********ck" so I can only imagine what the ladies that ONLY use bp are feeling. Not sure how I'd be of any help, but feel free to reach out if you need me. I'm fairly new, but I can think of two different boards available for providers even if you do not have reviews. It's not the end of the world.
It is just a reminder to us ladies... never get too comfortable using one avenue of marketing. This does throw a monkey wrench in some of my plans! Sheesh. And gents, if any of you need a hug bring it on in. Mamas got you.
The prosecutor in California has no clue on the damage she is doing to the sisters. The site will be missed it was one of the few escort sites that you can use on the smart phone without having to worry about the battery draining out. People check the site out before going to bed at night, when they get up, and before they leave for work. There will be a economic impact with lower hotel bookings and air travel.
It is true. People check sites pretty often. I'm just trying to figure out how to make MY site their go to when interested in boobie booking lol. Never know. I doubt it will have that much of an impact on air and hotel. As far as im concerned this will weed out alot of bad apples coming into hotels and messing it up for others. You know, the fake picture, smoking in the room, robbing clients, naked up the hall girls. Good riddance.
Providers will always find a way to advertise. I mean even when the site went down two popped up and they are both pretty decent. Def not rb, but decent. This will be no different. Girls will just use other sites. Bet the fake pic count will go down drastically because of this!
There's are pros and cons here. And while we have them, TER and similar sites are our friends. Let's get back to browsing THEM and letting the cards fall where they may. And mine, browse mine too 😂😂 lol
Kisses
this site going down can mean lots of different things.. short term the BP girls pockets will be hit hard and strip clubs may be up in sales. long term another site will go up but will it be the same? end of an era indeed
as the majority of advertisers will revert back to street walking.
Available for that to happen.
Especially in Baltimore area. Some will use bp for the day and street walking for night. Every one does not use the internet. Surprisingly the guys are paying bp rates of $200 hour for attractive bp providers doing street walking.
Despite what we may think here on TER, but we are in the minority. There are far more guys spending money, especially BP type money who do not do their research or really know much at all about this world.Thus, I don't think that the problem is having a place to advertise, it is more of having a place to advertise where guys will know to go look.

Some of the low end bp providers will end breaking into houses and doing shoplifting to survive imho. We could see armed robberies pick up. The poor will strike back big-time imho. They are going to very upset that bp is being taken away from them.
Armed robberies pick up??? Be real
Look at this clown.

Why do black pimps wear white women hair dews?
LMAO!!! What!?!?! That is one of the more out of left field comments I have heard thus far. You do realize that many "low bp providers" have regular jobs, right? Granted some do not but that does not mean by default they are dormant criminals. If anything these women are victims. Its unsettling but I know many bp providers who have been robbed by assholes that make it difficult for folks like you or I.
I find providers to be adaptable and believe many of them will use their phone Rolodex to keep the service ongoing. In fact, I have petitioned many of the providers I see to develop a robust client list and work off that. It is safer and keeps you under the radar.
I pretty much stopped using it for the DC/NoVa area forever ago but used it a lot touring esp small(er) markets.
Guys will go to the dating or therapeutic sections or turn to their regulars or boards like this one more.
I def plan to step up my SEO game. I'm not crying too many tears.
One of those sections is the dating section. You will notice prices are not listed. I saw a few ads were removed.
