This site had shown some promise after the demise of the old site. Unfortunately, it has become quite boring. Too bad.

People have had to of gone somewhere....I wonder where

END OF MESSAGE

The old site was awesome.   Great interface.   Great members.   Helpful ads.  Helpful reviews.   Too bad the owner did not pay his taxes.   This would have never happened if he paid his taxes.  Take this as a warning!

The SF section of this site has always been slow since the other site covered the Bay Area and other locations very well.

This site has more national coverage.  When the other site was still around and someone would ask about other areas that it didn't cover, I would always tell them to come here to TER and check the regional board for whatever area that person was asking about.

Boring in what way ??? because:

-You don't see much intellectual discussions or exchanges of information and ideas?

-Too many politeness, civility of arguments or plenty of EOM?  

-Or, it's because we have to be cautious what, how to be selective of our words and expressions , when challenging someones opinions to convey exactly what we mean but can not really and freely express what where talking about, because we subject for editorial discretions and along with that lost the meaning of it all?

-Boring because, almost the same fucking handles making new threads every freaking time, including myself because we have nowhere to go, and nothing to do except this place, to get some amusement?

-Not much participation of what really an issues how to contribute ideas making hobbying and providing enjoyable and sustainable in the long run?

-Or the site is too spread out that you don't really know where and how to find your interest in any subject, the index too complex not as simple, what information you want to share or inquire? Example, Regional, General, 60 or over, Asian, etc,etc, but no Medical Board or Ladies Gossip Board, in which I used to enjoy sneaking in looking around behind my back make sure no one is around before I click in, just to find out what are the latest women issues concerning their health, families, BF, husbands, Screwy guys, sharing of their daily lives funny and most terrifying experiences, etc,etc pretty informative and you'll have a dose of LMAO or a bit symphaty and sadness?

-Or lack of ridiculous and humorous statements that everybody has gotten to serious about everything and lost the meaning of what we do here, hobby, provide, respect, privacy, play, fullfill our fantasies, enjoy and be happy even just for a few hours at a time. No other place in the world like we have, but???

-Or this place is just fucking boring, I don't want to beleive it  but convince me

Boring. First thing that comes to mind are the topics being discussed in various forums, regional and general.  

Yep boring if not outright silly and lame topics being discussed. There's an obvious lack of sophistication due to to the fact it is not West Coast in general and California in particular -centric. Also boring from the lack of comradery. Unlike the old site that was well-concentrated in the SF Bay area, Sacto area plus the Central Valley in addition to large metropolitan area of LA this site figuratively is spread out so much. I really don't "feel" much toward the posters of this site.  

Then there are rules, rules and more rules. Rules on posting. Rules on reviews.  

Last but not least the archaic Disqus board format is so muddle and chaotic, a turn-off to really into the spirit of discussion.

And that's just forum posting which to me is of secondary importance. Don't get me started on the business side, that is the ads, reviews and manners for hobbyists to organize their games in the most efficient and cost-productive ways.

I'm a new hobbyist but the main thing I missed from the lost playground is the format of the provider ads. I could scroll down a page and see pictures of who I was looking at right away. I haven't found a way to do that here, and frankly it's a little annoying. Doing a search I have to input the parameters, click the name, click a link to another site (if they even offer one), and it's a full minute later that I see who I'm supposed to be looking at. Maybe there is an easier way to do it here but I haven't found it.
Is it difficult to do all that? No, it's not a lot of work, but it's annoying none the less.

To an extent, I actually prefer this site. From what I've seen, most people who join are actually into the adult entertainment whether they be a provider or hobbyist and not some random joe smoo looking for streetwalkers online or some random chick posting stolen pics (I had my pics stolen several times from other site). I like how we providers have to use ours words to advertise or sell our 'personalities' instead of simply posting a few naked pics of ourselves every few hours. Truth is, this site takes a bit more effect to use, but I think its better due to that.

Unless you know of other charges, the indictment's money laundering charges are for a section of the law that explicitly does not require any intent to evade taxes. There's a separate section that requires one of four motivations for the laundering. That section carries a higher penalty. The section charged carries a lesser penalty only requires that the movie came from an "illegal enterprise" and that you moved it to accounts not associated with that enterprise. So if you make money in a business they say is illegal (one that facilitates prostitution, say), and you move the profits to your personal account or another legit business account that you control, you're laundering under that law.  

Maybe he wasn't paying his taxes, but that's not in the indictment as published.  

Most of the pics are blurred to hide identity, so you really don't know exactly what your getting.
Also many pics are PS & make the girls look better & some have been know to use fake pics.

There are still sites one can "window shop".
I usually look there for new arrivals in the BA AMMP scene.

Found a few gems but the site they advertise on is not accepted here on TER so you can't review them due to not having an approved link for their ad.
Have been active on one site out of LA that graciously took me in.
They been very helpful & willing to creates links with pics on their site which is recognized here on TER so one can post a review.

Think your best bet to finding girls is 1st finding trusted hobbyist you can rely on.
Once you find a trusted reviewer's with similar taste as you, then u can assess whether a girl would be possibly up to your liking.
I get most all of my intel by reading reviews of dudes I know to be trustworthy & by pms.
Also you must be willing to TOFTT now & then & report back.

Good luck & don't count on finding what you see in the window.

It's just different.  Honestly, I like it.
