I have noticed a lot of veteran hobbyist don't seem to post many recent reviews. Often I see someone with a large number of reviews but they are very old. I was just wondering why that is. Are you not supposed to review the same person twice even if a significant time has passed? Is it for added security? Have an awesome reputation and don't need reviews? Or just simply don't have time?

1)  I mostly repeat.  I don't write reviews of someone I've already reviewed unless there is a significant change I think is worth writing about.
2)  I am chronically short on time these days and do have a few reviews in the backlog of things to do.

1) I don't see many new girls and TER won't except rewritten reviews without significant changes.
2) The girls I've seen don't need them.
3) I've grown tired of writing porn that only a few would actually believe.
4) it's faster and cheaper for me to just buy VIP.

This would apply to me also. In addition, I do not much care for applying a rating in the form of a number.  

TER doesn't give credit toward VIP membership unless they are reviews for a provider that I have not previously reviewed.

and especially a reluctance to attach numbers to the experience, or to write unless I can contribute something new.
I used to feel some sort of an obligation to the community to produce reviews, because the reviews others published were helpful to me.  That's changed.

I used to make a decent wage. I'm still making that exact same wage, and it's no longer decent. I like variety, I would love to see many different providers, I just can't afford it. Recently, I had a windfall, and was able to see some ladies, and posted about some of them, but basically, I can't afford the hobby that much anymore, and buying VIP is cheaper than seeing and reviewing enough new ladies to earn a year of membership.

#1 I only write a review when I have somthing to say that hasent already been said.                  
#2 I usully see the same provider more than once.
#3 Some providers dont want reviews ( I always ask)

I haven't seen a new lady for a long time.  The last review I wrote was a rewrite of an older one.  Maybe when your seeing the best you don't mess with the rest.  LOL.  Please don't jump on me, that was meant as a joke.  But if I wasn't happy and receiving excellent performance and friendship from the ladies I see regularly I wouldn't see them.  And yes they know who they are.

I agree with a lot that has been said.  I used to write reviews...  But I stopped about 10 years ago and actually had some that I had written deleted.  A few of my thoughts:

....I was like a kid in a candy store, and saw a different lady almost every week, it seemed.  It was great, and I met many great ladies.  I also used reviews to keep my VIP membership up.  But, like others have said, it's a lot more expensive to do it that way, and so I eventually simply purchased a year's VIP, so I don't need to review for that purpose any more.  

An ordinary 60-90 minute session already costs me 3+ hours of my time with hygiene and travel. If I add up the amount I could make if I spent that same time making money, the combined cost is high. Add to that a truly written review, and the cost goes up a bunch more.  

This.  I don't like grading the woman and the moment was my special moment I don't really want to share.

Plus I kinda got out of practice during the years i was moderator (they didn't let mods review back in the day)  

Good to see you back BD, I agree with what you said. This site has changed to much for me to have much more interest than an occasional look now and again. I've seen your posts for a while under the new handle and I had been wondering if DJ was you. Perv on my friend!

I still write reviews of most of the girls I see.  That's how I keep my VIP without leaving any trail, and it's why this board is useful.

I used to also write reviews and stopped for many reasons:
