Just posted a couple of messages and got a successful post window but nothing appeared. I notice that nothing is on the board since 5pm yesterday. Is there a technical glitch?

This board is Dead . It's become all provider ads----->

The guys have left, and the regional boards are starting to resemble the Large Canine board.  It's SAD.  Rules & PC, and Femdom have killed this site's boards. I never thought I'd see this.  Pathetic.

No doubt. Less banter goes on here. From my limited pulse on the community, it still appears that many are reading the board daily. Keep the ads coming... much better than sifting through CL, BP, and eros.

Jeez.. you can't win.. cry with too much drama.. cry when there is not enough.

then the boards are dying from hardening of the arteries???  

More-experienced hobbyists see and hear a lot of background stuff that ought to be revealed and discussed here, particularly for the sake of us newbies.  No names necessarily, just ideas and system dynamics.  Good advisory chat.

i agree w. slyder - i like the ads - so I don't have to look through the other sites to see who is available/in-town. And more importantly, I know that the poster is "real", and can usually go right to their reviews.

if these regional boards are dead, then where can us guys go to have regional discussions about the hobby? Just curious.

Re: This board is Dead . It's become all provider ads----->

The board is more serious and business-like.  Lot's of provider ads, most of which provide great service!  The available selection of great providers has not decreased.

Just for kicks I looked back (page 444 and 555).  Mr Robinson was there and Fuzzy was in charge.  Lots of humor/bashing/craziness.

The board now IS more regulated.  Moderators are enforcing the rules established by others.

I mean, I do have to work to afford the lovely ladies...

Re: This board is Dead . It's become all provider ads----->

I agree. Anything negative posted about the girls is confronted with a gaggle of shrieking, protesting providers and nobody (including myself) is anxious to give honest, negative feedback and hurt a girl's feelings (most guys don't get off making providers feel bad, after all). Plus, with growing awareness of the board, the "crazy guy" aspect is greater as well.

If guys have constructive criticism of a gal then why don't they simply reflect that in a review rather than airing it out for every Joe and Jane's opinion? The message will get across to those studious hobbyists who may find that woman interesting.

And I know the first thing you may say is that you will not get such review approved... which IMHO can be achieved with some tact and "code".

I understand people like excitement... but sometimes I think people get off more on watching the demise of others than simply "getting off"

If someone posts a new thread about a woman, and how she is a ripoff, or something like that, then it is perfectly fine.

If someone posts a new thread about their experience (whether good or bad), and she is a travelling woman, then it is fine.

If someone posts a new thread about their experience (again whether good or bad) about a local woman, then it is an invalid mini-review and must be removed.   That is what reviews are for.

If someone responds to a woman's ad with criticism, then it will also should be removed since it is attacking a woman in her ad.

I think that this is very reasonable.
