Some use web sites (escortfiles/escortdesign) that have started charging for access, and some may not even be aware of this change! The ladies don't profit from membership, at least in the cases I'm talking about, so it would behoove them to move to a host that doesn't lock the gallery.
I'm always a free trade/open market guy and firmly believe that anybody can put whatever price they feel their goods or services are worth and I can choose not to buy whatever it is they're selling if I don't think it's worth it. The ladies we know and enjoy or those we have yet to meet certainly have my unconditional support for their particular donation schedules.
Perhaps it's just my observation alone that there is a sharp increase in the number of providers' personal websites that want to charge us a fee to see their pics. As stated above, do whatever you think you have to do, but as a consumer if i'm considering your services but I want to have a good idea what you're offering and you tell me I have to pay for the privilege of seeing your photos...no sale!
Thanks for letting me grind my gears.
I agree 100 per cent. The purpose of TER at least for me, is see what is the prize, hear what is the cost, see what is on the menu, and to hear what other guys felt about their dates.

pass for me. Some are even free, but they still want you to register with your email address and create a password. When you're just shopping, even that is too much of a commitment, because you know you are going to get spammed with advertising once they get your email.
I think most of these ladies are shooting themselves in the foot by charging just to see their advertising photos. Its a little different if they are x-rated photos that are in ADDITION to the free standard ad photos. Then it would be more like the porn stars who let you see their latest videos on line for a monthly subscription. Its not my thing, but I don't have a problem with charging for "extras."

will see this thread and check into it. If they don't know the host is charging, then they also might not know they could be losing business because of it.
