My name is Briell Moore & I was just wondering if anybody knows of any good upscale websites to advertise on, I'm just so sick of all the icky stuff on CL. So if anybody has anything I could use I would really appreciate it.
And what a gutless post, Mr. or Ms. Alias. Taking rude potshots at people asking harmless questions is sure going to get this board hopping, isn't it?
The truth is, while TER is a valuable resource, this particular board is very quiet. Dare I say, *DEAD*??? Compare our board to the DC or ATL boards. There you'll find lots of ads and lots of conversations. Not so much here.
Unfortunately, Seattle is a lot like SF in that there are local boards (which shall remain nameless) that attract the lion's share of the hobby-related attention (and, no, I don't mean CL). Don't get me wrong, I really like TER and I really wish it wasn't like this but it is. I can't blame anyone for trying to get the word out and make a living.
The question wasn't foolish - biz is slow and some ladies are getting desperate - but the reply was as FOS as the coward that posted it.
Hell, TER even runs ads for backpage.com - that's a pretty good place to start. If anyone wants a little more local info, feel free to shoot me an inbox.
Not a thank you or anything. Kind of dissappointing to help a lady seeking advice and not get any acknowledgement. Perhaps she is too used to CL to show some courtesy.
If I helped her change a flat tire by the side of the road I'd expect a thank you, why not one for heping her with her business questions?
...good kharma! Hey, you did what you could and posted something here besides another ad...maybe there is some hope for this board after all. If she won't thank you, I will!
