I did not have a LOT of experience with *other* but one big difference with TER...

That I heard referenced from the handful of gents I met in SF last week was that there is a need for a North Bay/South Bay/East Bay distinction.

My two cents...from an outsider's perspective.

Re:

Simply adding a reference to side or area to ad post subject/title can help.

NYC doesn't have a board for each area of NYC and they seem to do just fine.

For me personally, that would be low on my list of asks, and it seems like something that might be easily addressed by just having a decent search function (provided that ads always have some geographical reference in them somewhere).  To me, by far the most important feature in an ad list is having a thumbnail picture next to each ad, so that I can quickly screen out (or in) a whole pageful in seconds.

The ladies can post photos in their ads. All they need to do is...

...read the Self-Help Center to see how it's done. There isn't any reason for them to not have a photo in the ad. Self-Help Center is on the upper right of most discussion boards (including this one) directly under the red and white life preserver.

To be clear, when I talked about ad thumbnails, I wasn't talking about photos in their ads (I think most women have them), I was talking about thumbnails appearing next to the ad headlines.  Right now -- at least for me -- I go to the Ad Boards and get about 30-ish ads per page.  Each page is just a headline, e.g., "Busty beauty longs to touch you" or whatever, that I have to click to see pics.  If there were a thumbnail pic next to each ad, I could quickly scan down the page to find the one or two girls who are attractive to me, and then click on those two ads to look further.  Instead, I have to click on every single ad before I can get to a picture.  What used to take me seconds now takes tens of ponderous minutes, so I don't often use the ad boards here.  A thumbnail next to each ad headline would make all the difference.  Now if you're saying the girls could set up thumbnail pics that show up on the main ad pages, or if there's a setting in my profile that could do that (I couldn't find one) that would be awesome, and I'd start using the ad pages here.

Lack of ad thumbnails hasn't hurt TER overall! EOM

Re: Lack of ad thumbnails hasn't hurt TER overall! EOM

Define "hurt"? if you mean staying as a low-key low-volume board then sure why ever bother to evolve or improve...

I agree with all those (especially refugees from the defunct board) that this board is seriously lacking in sophistication and innovation.

But I really harbor NO ILLUSION whatsoever that things will ever change here. Take it or leave it I guess.

In the meantime let us just cross our fingers and hope the for second coming of the defunct board or something similar.

Re: Lack of ad thumbnails hasn't hurt TER overall! EOM

There are several new boards out there. Many were started by people who were members of the defunct board. Since TER  is an upscale board, some people will never find what they want here. None of the boards allow "street action."

Street Action Boards-To The Refugees

Since this board is not for street action people, I looked around and was able to find two of them started by refugees from the defunct board. I can't print the names of them but the guys who want that type of action should be able to find it now.

I'm surprised that a guy who claims to be a charter member of the defunct board can not find them on his own.

Just to be clear, I was talking about the classifieds rather than the discussion boards.  The spirit of my comments was along the lines of: I've adopted this place as my discussion forum of choice, would like to use the classifieds to, but I don't, and here's why.  Not complaining, I go to other places to look at ads, but I'd love to be able to rely on TER's classifieds and just settle in here, and I imagine from TER's revenue perspective, they'd like that too.

Anyway, I don't think anyone has any basis on which to say that nearly unnavigable ad sections hasn't hurt TER.  Overall, TER seems plenty successful, but it's pretty likely that an ad section which helps clients easily find the providers they're interested in -- by definition, that should not mean having to click on scores of ads only to find that the woman doesn't physically match the customer's desires -- would make TER even more so.  Anyway, just some insight into why I (and most others I've kept in touch with) don't rely on giant no-thumbnail ad sections

Don't forget the reviews section is one of the most customizable types of it's kind. You can narrow down search of reviewed providers to suit your personal likes and preferences.

If you were on the defunct board for any length of time, the ladies will tell you about them if you gave them an E Mail or text number. If I even hint at where they are, they will suspend me from posting. Search for ad boards to find ladies you have seen before and/or ladies who might recognize your handle. One group of refugees already has a board with 700 people in it.

Um it's not like I am desperately looking for a street action board -thanks to my rotation of "affordable" regulars. By definition I don't need the Net to find street action so a street action board is simply a luxury to make my cruising life easier that's all.

If you referred to a certain board with the initial BP I already knew about it and have been perusing it for fun already.  

PS: are you really that timid to be scared shitless to mention even the initials of whatever competition to TER?

No it's not BP. If I mention the initials, they will delete the post. For a man who bragged about "street-cred" in another post, you sure must have been an outsider. It's a board that tries to be a clone of the defunct board. You claim to be "friends" with providers and you can't get ONE provider or ANYBODY to tell you where it is. There are other boards loaded with refugees from the defunct board and not ONE person you knew will tell you? Man, you must not have been very popular.

Re: I was referring to Skyfyre

So let me get this straight we can mention BP but this "other" site will get your post deleted? why is it so? is it in the Term Of Service Agreement when you entered this site that this "other" site is OFFICIALLY and DIRECTLY prohibited in no uncertain term? Please show me where in this site the owner has EXPRESSLY forbidden the mention of certain combination of initials? mind you, initials NOT the full name. I mean for all intents and purpose when I said BP I could have been talking about British Petroleum no?

As for your obsession about my ignorance of the replacement site well it's not because none of my girls told me it's because I have NOT asked. Like I said I was not desperately looking for it and have not thought about asking about it. When I asked about "life after RB" they did say they advertised in a couple of new places. Pardon me if I did NOT have a need to find out more...  

Lastly thanks for your concern about my "popularity" but let just say I don't give a shit about popularity. I have always been about getting good pussies than kissing asses to become popular and gain "buddies".

Re: I was referring to Skyfyre

I don't care about popularity either. If you did not care you would not be asking me to give initials of groups that over 1,000 refugees have joined. After all you have "street-cred." People with "street-cred" should know more about it than me. Off to my ignore list you go. It not like the defunct group. You can't annoy people when you are on ignore lists.

Re: I was referring to Skyfyre

kyfyre refuses to use his handle from the other site because he was known personally by providers and doesn't wish to carry his bad reputation over to this board
