i dont care where the women are posting i care where the MEN are seek and finding?

I can't speak for anybody else, but I'm just waiting for the power vacuum to be filled. The entire Bay Area is still reeling from the loss and now there are a lot of contenders that want to fill that position. I'm still looking for for a few providers that haven't posted new ads anywhere since the great fall, providers that I didn't get to call before and hopefully haven't moved on to greener pastures. I think it will just take time, but I imagine TER will assume control of the area and become the new hub.

I've been looking everywhere, but for NorCal, former home of the now closed site, it's very difficult to find reliable info from other sites that compares to the deceased site. TER reviews are helpful, but because they (TER)  are so picky about review details and content - there just aren't that many reviews and often the reviews are old and therefore of questionable current accuracy.  Nothing worse than clicking on "Jenny's"  TER review from 8 years ago and now she's 10 years older, 50 lb heavier, 4 kids later etc.
Lots of ads out there, but without linking the reviews and knowing that the ad was placed recently I can't commit time and money for something that has a good chance of being fake (B&S) or worse. The old site offered substantial safety features for both parties, which contributed to it's popularity  with both providers and clients.  That popularity made both supply and demand much greater, which resulted in a nice selection of moderately priced providers. I'm guessing that now the low end providers are back out on the street in desperation and the high end providers of $500/hr and up don't rely on a volume based business model anyway. For me, it's that financial sweet spot of $150-$350, which was affordable, seems to have largely either disappeared or become difficult to find.  And, even with occasionally finding it, the lack of reviews and other info (tineye, etc) leaves me unwilling to make the call.

Myself and few of my friends on the H side have an agreement that P411/TER is the most popular shopping place right now, they don't have much products right at this moment, but everyday the selections are increasing, maybe the advertising approvals take a little longer due to the offices are based overseas, I don't know, but we concur that P411/TER is simple, easy to utilize, appointments and posting reviews are outstanding. Unlike the other sites most of us, myself, my friends have used BP even before RB still in existence and we have some really, really bad stories and experiences in that site. My own personal experiences due to my daring and risky move. Got myself in a few very unpleasant situations. didn't realized then that everyone is selling snake oils and they got me buying a lot of them. CB, Slixa is ok but not much product displayed and seems it's duplicate, EROS I can handle but not for everyone, the rest of them I don't even try to navigate anymore, like Nightshift,NR,TNA,VP, The Encounter CluB,Ecci, etc,etc. too complicated to browse around. That is our answer to your question M'lady. Respectfully from #B

TER's AD boards, and the Photo board. My list of providers has grown just from those two, and I always check if they are on P411 so I can request an appointment. I also visit various regional boards to see what the ladies comment about; which show some of their personality. I feel the providers that are on TER and P411, are the safest, highest quality service and most beautiful inside and out.

I am listening to what you gents say and taking note. However, I still think BP is very workable. I am a mid-range provider and I have gotten a lot of clients from BP, willing to spend for quality service and very respectful nice gents. As I mentioned somewhere, I know a high end provider ($500 per hour) who advertises on BP and gets some nice clients too. I just ask that you give it another change.

the exception to the BP rule. You are very attractive and have a website.  

Now that the King is gone the next best thing is obviously BP. Nobody else comes close for variety of selection, taste and pricing. Of course while the King was ruling BP was miles below as a second step!

there is a option to change the view on bp from text headline to gallery view to see the thumbnail initially

but I have gotten LOTS of clients from BP who are just as victory girl has stated

In my experience,  majority of my calls come from BP. I know Nightshift has a snapshot of the old sites reviews linked to my add which is nice but I agree that a lot of the sites make it difficult for numeruous reasons...

I agree the rows of titles are crazy making. I have a "featured" ad which shows my pic. However, as Caitlyn sez, it does not seem to deter others...

There may be fewer reviews, but they are better quality IMHO. But I am fortunate enough to have a very few favs and I stay with them. There is no substitute for connection.
