I just had my first visit this week with a lady since COVID started. I was also a bit out (I saw only two regular gals that I have known) over a couple of years since TER was not available in the USA. I grew up with TER (LOL) and always valued the one stop shopping that TER provided -- discussion, ads, and reviews all in one place. While I was gone, the ads seemingly have left TER (as well as ECCIE) and ad platforms like Slixa, Tryst, and Ourhome2 (especially in the South) have cropped up.

Does anyone know the reason why there are not more ads on TER, especially by local ladies? Was it because TER was down in the USA? Cost? Other reason? Just curious -- I dislike searching a lot and I value reviews. Thoughts?

Not being snarky or sarcastic... Are you aware that there are now Ad Boards separate from the Discussion Boards?
