The countless hours you put in on our behalf.

You've always been fair and straightforward.

It's been quite the adventure around here, hasn't it? Lot's going on...and many voices raised, thoughts expressed, and the necessary venting aired.

I've held back from posting my opinion (which is a good thing, trust me...lol) but there is one thing that I can't and won't hold back, that needs to be said.....

Thank you.

Two simple words, but with a great deal of meaning and sincerity behind them.
Thank you to all who have made this board what it is....for years....long before I ever showed up here.
Thank you to all of you who 'rage against the dying of the light' (how's that for a reference...even from a Dirty Daego...lol) every time something controversial happens here...and you refuse to let it bring down the tone or nature of what this board has become.

And lastly....(the difficult part)
Thank you to all who shared their thoughts, and made their voices heard, regarding the change in moderation of this board.
I'm humbled and honored that the effort I made was noticed by those who truly matter.....the members of this board. Regardless of the outcome....it's been something that I won't ever regret.

It's difficult to not air my opinions about certain things, and lay low in some of the threads that have gone on in the last week.
Ultimately it's not those events, or my opinions of them, that matter. What matters is now, as it always has been.....that the participants of this board continue, despite everything, to make it the best board of it's kind, in the world.

To the people who have limited their posting and participation here.....don't.
Don't get frustrated with what's happened and pull away. It's merely a bump in the road. Just one more thing we'll remember that "happened"....once we move forward.

The last thing you want to do is leave this board to people like Haley and MSHSEX....two of the biggest examples of all that is wrong with this site.
(c'mon....like you're surprised? I'm still DD and will say what I think when necessary....like it or not.  LOL)

So again....thank you to all who stood up and made their voices heard. I appreciate always what you've done.....and know that it's YOU...and not any mod or "cruise director" BS...or anything else....that makes this board the great place it is.

Just sayin'
DD

I have followed this drama for the past 10 days or so, as I like to watch the Florida Board because of all the beautiful ladies on it.  I have not commented previously because I did not want to get caught up in all the drama, or to stroke your large ego.  However, you say you come here to say 'Thank you' to those that supported you, yet you use it as an opportunity to attack someone like Haley, who I find to be very sincere, open and helpful in her posts.  As you have havesaid before, this Board is about the people that partake, not Admin, and certainly NOT you. I, for one, am glad your true colors have now come out and am glad you have been removed as moderator.

Thank you for, yet again, showing your true self.
Making the same outrageous claims you have always whined about....and basically making shit up that isn't true.

The post about the party....was moved, by me, the very next day.
There was NO advertisement for a Halloween party. Couldn't get that through your head then...and still can't now. It was a post "asking" if anyone would be interested in such a thing. It's still a searchable post....feel free to look again.
Perhaps you aren't really sure what an advertisement is.
People only got moderated for breaking rules....nothing more. You did...and you never accepted why....or got over it. Well boo-fucking-hoo. People get moderated because of their actions. Some of my friends and acquaintances here have as well (by me)....but no one knows about that, because they accepted it like adults and didn't whine constantly about it.

You can spew all this sweetness and light bullshit as much as you want....but anyone who has had a PM exchange with you when you go off on one of your tangents knows exactly how you truly are.
Just be glad I'll never post some of the things you've expressed to me about your opinion of men in this hobby.

The only people who think you have a good name....are the ones who haven't dealt with you...and don't know any details of what went on.

Best of luck to you....because it's you that has to live with that...and not me.

DD

A  gentleman.

So I'd like to thank you for EVERYTHING you've done for this board when you didn't HAVE to. (DIDN'T)

So, thank you - thank you - thank you!!!


Btw if anyone thinks I'm shilling DD I am, he deserves it..
And if any of the sour puss people think that I'm one of the harem DD is supposed to control, I'm NOT.


THANKS AGAIN FOR BEING A LEVEL HEADED NON JUDGEMENTAL MODERATOR ON THIS BOARD, lord knows ice botched plenty in my PMs to you!

don't be a stranger around here your opinion matters!!

I welcome back the old , unbridled DD.

Be careful what you ask for, TER.

The TER site, boards, and community are larger than any one member, working girl, client, or TER mod. Life goes on as shall we, the TER community.

You didn't come here to show your love it's all about you.  You had control and those who stroked you got favoritism. A meet and greet can't advertise on this board but a 2,000 plate dinner with his favorite girls can. How about the advertisement for the Halloween Party you let one lady advertise here while I had to note other peoples parties who couldn't because you would take them down or worse moderate their ass. Let's be real your here to stir the pot and no more.

You want people upset with TER but not because they don't have a personal moderator but that it's not you. Like I said your here to stir the pot and I am back posting trying to enjoy the wonderful people on the florida board as I use to. I loved your angst with the "i'm not getting treated fairly by TER from you" Why because you did it to me. Now you know how it feels

I see your game for what it is and i'm ready to be attacked once again. Thanks for drawing attention to me and no I won't sit back and shut my mouth.

To those who think i'm some problem here you better dig deep because i'm a nobody who seems to have gotten singled out and my good name has been drug through the mud for no good reason.

Kisses Haley

since WE have recently started communicating,
I can honestly say that...
this post, posted in the heat of an angry moment
does NOT represent you as the lovely lady I know you to be.

DD is entitled to his opinion, WE ALL ARE.

Just continue being yourself, people CAN see...
& PLEASE do NOT reply hastily or in anger.

DD does NOT make a living here, you do.

Hi DD,

I am glad see that you are taking the thoughtless off hand manner that TER implemented the off shoring of your primary functions as moderator for this and the Atlanta board. I don't expect that the new Mod's will have enough knowledge of the local culture and personality to be able to add much color and spark much positive interaction in the various American markets.  I know this from personal experience being an immigrate myself.

There are some who are welcoming this change because it will end the discussion and any perceived or the actual personal bias of any local Mod's.  Now we all will just have to contend with any perceived or the actual personal bias of our European overseer's.  I actually might be interesting if the gentlemen on this site imagine them to be tall green-eyed Nordic blondes who constantly play with their vibiraters in their spare time . . .  Keep that thought!

In actually, I imagine that they are low paid corporate minion's performing these functions who are just as fearfull of being fired as we providers are of being moderated or banished.  In actually I don't know nor do I really care much. 

All in all, I have only have 30 posts to my credit since I became a member to TER in 2008 to include provider ad's and picture posts.  It was only very recently that I became more active since I moved to Florida and started participating on this board.  One of the major reasons for my recent interest was because I really enjoyed reading your posts and because some of the other providers who frequent this board are really fun and funny.  The most important factor remains that you set the tone of the discourse and everyone was having fun as a result.  

Since your removal as moderator I have even more respect for the job you did as Mod protecting the civil discourse by removing the posts of the various piss-ants who seem to have nothing better to do than deficating on the posts of those they don't agree with.  I wonder when our European Mod's / Admin's will begin to get a handle on this?  I know that I am less inclined to participate and to renew my VIP status.  Time will tell.

In actually, I do see the advantages of moving the Mod's functions to an off-shore location considerating pending legislation pending to limit freedom of speech on the Internet.  Despite my sarcasm, I wish TER every success now and in the future in this regard.

I just hope that the corporate officers have learned that it is just good business practice to take into account the feelings of who have contributed so much of their free time to make TER a fun and profitable place for all.  In actuality the only thing I find upsetting about the recent change was the manner in which it was initiated.  

We all have feelings and mine would not have been hurt at all if the Mods in question had been notified in advance and a statement posted on the boards concerned before we found out through rumor and back channels.  In fact, I would have given the change my complete support as I do now as I a wait my turn as "Cruise Director".  Coffee, tea,or me anyone.  Can I wear my mini skirt and dancing heels?

All fun aside, I wish you all the best DD and hope you continue to take the time to post on the Florida board from time to time.  I really do think that TER should give you a very expensive gold rolex for services rendered.

By the way, I continue to be confused as to which board is your home board.  

Bye all, I am off to moderated land

xoxo

P.S.  Just so you know, I have never met or talked with DD in person.  I did receive a welcoming email from him when I started posting on this board and I did contact him once regarding a problem I perceived about the picture post counters not counting unique views.  We disagreed but I respected his view point.  I am not one of his girls either but I could be . . .

There are 2 sides to every coin.

I whole heartedly agree with you, WILDTHING & Sindie.

Every list is an ad!!!

I have noticed an aire of rudeness the last couple of days by a certain provider, I won't mention a name but we all know. I couldn't undestand why, I've never done Anything to her. I get it now with the reference to the $2000 party. Wow, talk about an agenda. Can't we all just get along?

Best,

Sunny

You have a very loyal following dear Sir and if you hold true to your words then we expect to see more posts from you as well.
Will all my respect and admiration
Kisses

Lets stick together, this is business to us ladies.....We all live to far apart to compete directly.

The guys are never loyal just to one provider..they trade us like cards..good for them good for us that is why we are a community.....

Search the  provider of the week names same guys same provider every week or 2......its not advanced algebra.Its sad.

Love everyone the same us ladies stick together the green light from another provider can be a life or death ticket..that is where real trust is everything........

I literally put my life in Cinderella's hands and once in Paris hands for a green light on some very scary clients and both times they were right, and I made a paycheck safely......

DD excercised judgement the best he could..he had to be political and fair to us and TER at the same time........

Its like being the president 50% of people hate you and 50% love you but you give 100% all the time..

Lets all rest for a while and see which way the Boat steers..........

God wish they had spell check on here......

Love my Friends

Val

Hey Guy,

We only crossed paths a few times, but we always seemed to think alike.  You have been the stabilizer around this place..  This is a tough "business" to maneuver around in and you did your best.

Happy Hobbying!

Some people just don't get it. From someone who moderated this board, I can tell you that the back biting and back channel Bullsh*t is not worse on any other board on TER.  Florida is a very competitive, buyers market.  The ladies tend to be more territorial and protective. I can assure you that DD was an extremely fair moderator, almost to a fault. The populous is not always privy to why mods do certain things or the circumstances surrounding the events, they happen behind the scenes where they should stay.

In my opinion, all Haley did here was diminish the boards (hobbyists) perception of her.  I had a PM conversation with a provider the other day and my advice was to take the high road, because you can win and lose at the same time in these situations.  Even if you win the argument, you can lose in the court of public opinion.  At the end of the day, it just doesn't matter.  What matters here is that the board considers you low drama. Hobbyists = married guys = desire for zero drama.  The bottom line is what matters when you earn your living this way.  Anything that detracts from that bottom line is bad.

The good news? This can all go away with time and the realization that there are no moral victories on TER. The top rated providers are ALL low drama and HIGH banter.  Elle Vegas is the Florida lady on this board who is at the very top of my must see list largely because I love to read her posts.  They are witty, topical and complimentary.  Her new, big boobs don't hurt her cause, either.

DD was blowing off some steam.  The guy was one of the best ever mods on the hardest board to moderate.  Let's welcome him back and salute him for the job he did. Let's also give Haley a break and let this thing blow over.

This message brought to you by the more calm, cerebral and medicated Soflaguy44.

Based on this thread I would not visit Haley in a million years!

If she took the high road I might have...

Wildthing gave great advice.

That  rehashed the past by providing links, etc. What's done is done.

I was brought into the situation when it happened. I checked everything out due to accusations by some (let's remember I am the unbiased 3rd party, have been for 4 or 5 years now) and there was no wrong doing on the part of DD. He isn't/wasn't online 24 hours a day watching the board. If he is/was sleeping or out (sometimes he does leave the house) and someone posted something you can call it favoritism all you want, but you are wrong and just creating drama.
