... here and on P411 than I can see as often as I'd like.  As long as even a subset of them are in business, I'll be ok.  

I'd hate to be a newbie in today's p4p world.  The reviews here were a big help to me when I was just a "young pup" (p4p-wise).

Before TER, every time I saw a new provider, it was like taking one for the team, only without a team. Without reviews, providers delivered less of a quality service back then. Everything was an upsell, and the appointment ended as soon as the first pop. Providers were always running late because they kept pushing back appointments in favor of the latest caller. When I finally met a provider that I liked who I would currently rate as a TER 7, I became a regular and only occasionally took my chances with other providers.

I have a P411 membership because it made screening a lot easier after I collected some okays. P411 is also useful because they screen the providers so I know that I'm not wandering into a police bust. I avoid Switter because it seems to combine the worst aspects of Backpage and Twitter accounts for bitter hookers. I have also been seeing providers that I saw before the reviews went down.

and continues to enforce its ban on posting the names of review sites.

I have an ATF that's semi-retired who I see, often now. I travel a lot, so new cities are now a problem. P411 helps, at least in preventing total ripoffs. I've tried a couple other review sites, but it's pretty hit or miss. Hopefully TER makes a comeback.

It's hitting us too in regards to using sites that may help with screening & verification. Regardless, I've found a lot more inquiries coming in via Eros (when I do advertise there), P411, SWitter, and good ole' fashioned Google. I think SEO (search engine optimization) is a big right now and you may start to find random tag words and tag lines on sites to help the search engines index websites faster. In addition, it is going to be much more difficult for new providers and clients alike especially with P411 no longer accepting new folks.
