What is it, 13 of the last 14 threads were started by providers? That speaks volumes.

That members of the board now know how to search for what they want and do not need to post an iso?

Ex.  I am in a waterfront hotel room in Acton looking for a left handed red head that loves to be spanked.  Must be available in four minutes and bring her own paddle and ropes.

No I suppose it does not mean that.

I thought this board was to bring people together.  I am sorry if people post what they are looking for. What a stupid idea that is! I do not go into Boston, so a few days in advance I post looking for someone in the 128 belt, it usually works. Everyone wins including the provider. It is know it alls, I won't mention any names,that turn people to a different board.  If you dont like the ISO ads dont read them.

This could be a future trend. I think the proof is in the puddin'. This pay money or review to see juicy details is changing the landscape drastically is it not? Many are joining places outside of these boards because there is much info to exchange with paying for it. When another board did this they DIED. RIP mutual information sharing. The honeymoon is over!

If someone has something to post they will post it.  If not, well, they won't...


Why is this even an issue?

Because online message boards are for:

making mountians out of molehilles,making tempests out of teapots, and creating much ado about nothing.

How about, a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, signifying nothing?

But I digress...

SSDD.

Reminds me of recently tuning into All My Children.  Haven't watched it since the 1970's and I missed nothing.

I wish there was a board for just posting ads.

My post had nothing to do with a well thought out ISO.  It was the post of someone giving too much information, and with too many requirements, and with such a tight time frame that it could not be met.

ISO's are fine.

The point is, guys are deserting this board. Nobody's going to join with the new policies on reviews. Didn't think anybody would have trouble catching on....

TER has become A LOT less useful to non-VIPs since they moved the appearance/performance scores to the VIP area. Some may pay the VIP fee and/or start reviewing again to periodically have access to the information (been slacking myself), but many will gravitate elsewhere...

However, just looking at the number of 'reads' the posts get, the Boston board is still frequented by many - but most are in lurking mode.

So what could "elsewhere" look like? I recently visited Colorado and noticed that there was no TER board for Denver. Here is the reason why: http://www.theotherboard.com

I have to say, I was impressed with how well the 'scene' works in Denver.
Maybe I'll even write a review on TER...

Some of TER's rules are good and in place for a reason. There are other rules that are just overboard. I mean at least the other board allows you to post whenever you want and does not moderate you. It also has no aliases that can cause trouble. Why is that place so dead? The problem now is how does a new guy find these other places men are congregating. I can't even get pm's because of course I AM NOT A PAYING VIP.

(sorry for not including links, TER "filtered" my first attempt to post this)

There is nothing anyone can do about it.  I don't lose any sleep over things I can't control.

My guess is the economy is bringing many providers to the area, it is not hitting boston area as badly as other areas so it seems.

I would suggests that you all enjoy it while its here you bad boys.
