Atlanta
This needs to be said
Oh, and if any ladies need a nice full body massage to reduce stress or anything, I will gladly donate my services. 
I originally wasn't going to say anything at all; however, I felt compelled to say something because this is about to go down onto a bad path if we don't correct this. I might get ridiculed or what not. Before I start, this post isn't about me but the state of the Atlanta boards.
Right now we are experiencing a surplus of new provider and hobbyist coming on the boards looking for help and guidance. We also even having established providers who are either coming out of retirement or coming from other areas in the world on this board because either we are a close and helpful group or as few mentioned more entertaining than their own cities boards. However, it seems that there is a lot of rift or drama that it really shows. I mean we are having problems with providers against providers, hobbyist against hobbyist or as a matter of fact hobbyist against providers and vice verse. It is getting noticeable and putting us in a negative light.
When I first came across TER, I was doing other hobbies; however, I found that the community been very insightful and helpful to me. I have met many providers and Hobbyists that I am close friends with. Also, in the hobby, I even ended several friendship with a few hobbyist and providers. When I became an established hobbyist, my goal and passion was to help those who are either new or what not and try to guide or help them reach success in this hobby life because I and several others went through the crossroads of this environment.
Now, I noticed that a lot of providers and even hobbyist are either leaving TER or going UTR because of the rift and drama being presented on the boards. This presented a sad and disturbing feeling among the community and its not looking good. I meant we are suppose to be like a family or close group. Our appearance are saying otherwise and it isn't a great picture. I mean, I seeing post about providers are having issues with providers not helping one another out or etc. It is the same with the hobbyist as well. Right now, with the things that are going on I wouldn't blame the new people to back up from talking or seeking advice. It sad and needs to be fix or we will be like some of the boards: as a ghost town and nobody will be participating or contributing on here.
Please try to talk and come with an understanding because the end result will not be good.
