OK, here's the 1st test. I asked about Sky on the TER LA board and mentioned how TSR would have reliable info on this girl almost immediately.
Now there is a TER review up....that I do not believe. I almost always believed TSR reports on CL girls because there was very little to gain by misinformation. The occasional shill mini review was instantly smoked out by the TSR community.
Can't wait to see what happens with the lovely young Sky.....
one shot reviewer on cl girl? Shill poster? what makes you not believe the review?
It's going to take time to incorporate what we liked about TSR into this local board. The more discussion from various individuals about a any provider will allow us to "triangulate" the truth.
But no board is perfect and I have to respectively disagree about one point in you post and that is
"..there was very little to gain by misinformation. The occasional shill mini review was instantly smoked out by the TSR community.
"
The attempted gain is always the same, - Money. And I think it's equally present on all boards.
I honestly believe that the main reason TSR shut down was the "powers that be" got tired of all the drama and trying to sift through all the shills accounts.
But I whole heartedly agree with you that TSR was very good in generating quick responses about providers and that is hopefully something the migrating members will attempt here.
I have been a member here longer than TSR.....my TSR handle is not available to me here....so using an alias some of you will recognize....I do not like this board as much as TSR...whenever I tried to post here....it did not get on until the next day...sometimes not even then!!....and then the response would be some guy named "Smokey the Dope" calling me officer!!!
Smokey has morphed into other characters at this point.
I just looked at most of the top 5 OC providers listed and the majority of them have their web links unlisted already.
It isn't TER it is the flakey providers.
having a member number of someone that signed up to TER most likely in the last week puts up the red flag for me.
I agree with Zarathustra's point about the drama that happened on the TSR boards. The major downfall to TSR is that you had to few moterators that we to close to one another and that affected some of the providers on that board.
Second, The trust network on that board was a joke. The only people that should have been allowed to grant trust was the providers only. That would have made that board more respectable and less dramatic.
Hats off to Nick and the rest of the guys for creating TSR. It was good while it lasted.
