I first found these boards 10 years ago (or at least a long time ago, the only discussions were between us punters. Now 50% of posts or more originate from providers and agencies. Things were real cool in those days - just guys talking about women. What happened - obviouslly TER turned into a real business - they expanded and added yon agencies and the providers themselves. Bad formula in my opinion.
I suggest TER stop the girls posting and get this board back in business. THey could always start a provide/agency board as an alternative.
God I miss the good old days and I'm only 48

Tetley - I miss the old days too.

TER's boards have never been guys only!!!  Here is a link to the first new topic posted by someone other than STAFF, in Dec 2000 - http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion_boards/viewmsg.asp?MessageID=5&boardID=5

When I found this board in 2004, it was a comfortable mix of good info, friendly banter (not unlike the General Discussion board), and gals posting their ads.  Sure there was the occasional drama, some caused by the gals, but often times by guys, there have been more than a few troublemakers!!!

Since you have no reviews, I don't expect that you don't know about the TER's Reviewers Only board experiment.  It was intended to be a place for honest discussion of gals, which seems to be what you are wanting.  Unfortunately, any negative info on a provider was almost immediately reported by a loyal client, so any honesty and openness has been lost.  No one ever dares say something "real".  It is now just a place to post dirty pictures!!!

Here's hoping that the PHX board can be restored to its previous happy balance.  But elimination, of the gals, either indy, or agency, is not the answer.

It is statements like yours that start things, especially under an alias.

I would say the top 9 are some of the better folks on this board.
They all have good stuff to say but when provoked by statements such as yours .............


Thank You
2008=27

Just say what you mean and stop pussy footing around.

Some of you are pretty stupid and very narrow mined. Get off your high ground and have fun with everyone.

Once again you don't like someone just move on and stop blaming them for your shallow mind!

I and they have ever right to be here and post, till staff doesn't accept our dues anymore.

Miss the old day's, guys it's 2008 accept it! Have fun and make it what you want instead of dreaming

...ha, ha too funny, AnaBB!

Even when forums only had men on them fans of a provider would tell her that someone else had posted a negative comment about her. Providers  have their own forum here and send emails back and forth.

If you have something to say about a provider, say it. Or just write a review.

so he cant get in.


he can only post here and frankly i dont mind if people want to post their opinions, right or wrong however, the fact is ter's traffic has increased over the past year by 27%.

do you think that is because the people who are right post more than the people who are wrong ?

just mebbe

another little known fact -
the providers only board doesnt have drama.
why ?
because we are all there for one reason:
to help each other out.

providers view ter as business
guys view ter as entertainment

sounds like tetley is a lil bored.

I agree with Barebear your post was a drama starter. I wish we could just let it go and like Terri said, move on!
Peace out!

but probably not intentionally.  The providers only board has no drama.  I imagine the hobbiest only board has no drama either...

You might consider using the gentlemen's board instead.  I think there should be a forum, for both genders to interract together, and there is some truth to not enough conversation on topics vs. 20 girls pitching themselves over topics instead of just participating in conversation.  I have seen the trend you are talking about too.  I miss the old board, but I never knew it when it was guys only.  I had fun for along time on the SD board, but things change, there is nothing constant but change right?  Still there is a forum for the guys and girls to talk seperately.  Why don't you try that?

There IS a provider board.  There's also a hobbyist only board.

My view is that there is no drama on the "Reviewers Only" board.

The reviewer board is exclusive to those that have 10 or more reviews and the provider board to those with 3 or more reviews.  Just saying.....

I love the truth.

I enjoy sorting-out the meaningful from the meaningless. Indeed, in recent years it has become a hobby of mine.

The well-being and safety of the ladies along with honest, non-intrusive, above-board, business practices is more important than the advertising and selling of the commodity that drives this community.

I appreciate (and even relish) all the e-mails I recieve.

LOVE AND PEACE,

You miss the old days don’t you know the world evolves every 100 years and no one will give a shit about what you or anyone of us said or did today a 100 years from now unless you discovered the cure for cancer.

Without change there would be no internet, no air conditioning, we’d still be riding around on horses in stead of cars and on and on I could go about change.

Oh but I do miss .30 cent gas, $100 car payments and $20 BJs, but not the wagers that were made in the old days.

So change is good even for TER.

And that’s just my 2 cents.

Shit see what you did you make me post a message when I wanted to stay off the board for a while and get out of the top 10.

It is so funny to sit and read these boards and see comments made and then bet yourself 10 bucks who is going to post a response that hit a nerve. YEP! I won the 10 bucks. Sooo, since people get irratated so easily on this board why not do the Troothsayerz style. Section on yourself, section on bitching, section on drama, section on reviews and then everyone will be happy and the same will happen on Troothsayerz and people will STILL have issues with some comment or review or whatever.Can't solve the issues here with the people who are posting here, just part of the character of this board. Just my 3 cents.BJN

It seems to me that a popular opionion is to stop the providers from posting on the discussion boards.  Why?  There is a reviewer;s only board and a providers only board.  Why should the providers be banned from the gd board?  If you all have such a problem with the top 10 posters, start posting more yourself.  And I think that as long as I pay the VIP membership fees, just like you, I should be able to post wherever I want.  

But if what you want is honest discussion about providers then you are not in the right place....and  I suggest you go to a local bar or maybe to breakfast at Denny's with some friends because you almost can't do that on TER anywhere.  
God forbid you have something nice to say about a certain provider.  SHILLING!!!!  Have something not so positive, even if it strictly fact telling...FLAMING!!!!!  There are so many rules about what you can say and what you can't, Im surprised anyone gets a rational thought out on this board.  
No one seems to pay attention to anything anyone has to say because they are too busy complaining about aliases and who posted more than they did and honestly----who can blame anyone for wanting something new?
