The removal of Theme Days from Regional Boards is an unnecessary change. Photo threads are a great way to get look at the ladies in the local market rather than on a General Photo board showcasing providers from all over that I will likely never have an opportunity to meet. If there is a need for a general photo board, photos should be allowed on both regional and the General Photo board.

While change is often difficult, I can't see a need for this one. Perhaps it makes things easier for admin to monitor the regional photo themes? I, for one, will not take advantage of the new photo board under the TER General Boards. I like our local ladies, and the photo themes they came up with and then voluntarily chose to participate in allowed a little of their personalities to come through. I have no need nor desire to see photos of women from all over the country or the world that I'll likely never consider visiting in person. I won't sort through the handles of numerous providers in an attempt to determine who lives and provides in our general vicinity. I don't care for this move, at all. Please leave it the way it was!

Many of the regional boards are dead. Take away theme days any you will probably kill them.  
Just another case of TER showing their muscle and screwing with people.  
I check 3 local boards and I am luck to see 8 posts a week combined. I check another website and see 25 per day!
What is that telling you. If Ter screws enough there will be nothing left. Kind of like what happened with chat!

Although some including myself, could think it's a tacky suggestion.

Photo theme days generate a lot of traffic on Regional boards.  Just look at the number of reads on any given photo.  There are literally tons of places on the internet to look at photos of women you will never meet.  See no need for what is just one more.  Posts on Regional boards at least were women located in or traveling through your local area.  If you want to do away with theme days, fine, just create Regional photo only boards.

But then again I had no interest in looking at the regional photo theme threads that were (are) populated by the same old 10 gals week in and week out.  With the same old pics that they had 10 years ago.  

+ 1 for having the Photo board sorted by City/Region.

Others are just expressing their opinion and surprise at the seemingly sudden change.  As tired and sometimes redundant as they may be, these theme threads provided much needed activity on some very slow boards.  And while I don't disagree with the point made about people needing to post interesting comments to keep the slower regional boards alive and interesting, I don't see where the photo themes were hurting anyone.  As several of you are fond of pointing out in your clever retorts on other boards, if you don't like something, you are perfectly free to NOT click on it.  

As I can see new whimsical rules popping up on that board.  

it doesn't really matter to me, or basically anyone else, what i say or think... so i'm just gonna be a blurter and ramble like a 'tard lol

I could care less about looking at pictures of escorts in cities I will never get to. I don't want to scroll down an entire page to find pictures of escorts in a city I will be visiting g. It wasn't broke, why did you try and fix it.

It was fun to come up with ideas every few days and see how creative the girls are in posting pictures in response.  

Based on the number of views that they received on the regional board/s I look at, they seemed pretty popular with some posts occasionally getting over 1k views or at least the high hundreds.  Now over here... I can hear crickets chirping.  I would think the ladies will stop posting if they don't feel they are getting any attention and I would certainly miss that.  The photo themes were often something to shift the mood on the regional board in a positive direction.

They brought fun and excitement to the regional boards, most of the guys loved them, AND it gave visiting ladies an additional way to visually say "hello" to the guys I the region they were visiting.

The photo theme days literally breathed life into the 60' board, it will now be a desert wasteland on that board.

Honestly I wish all of the ladies would just NOT post on the new photo board in support of bringing the regional photo theme days back!

But there are those who won't do that. I always had special pics taken for Christmas, New Years, Valentine's Day and July 4th to put on  the regional board. It makes me sad that it won't be available on my regional board any more or any regional board where I have a visiting ad.

PLEASE give us back our regional photo theme days, even if you take one day away, like Saturday. Maybe 2 days would be better then no days.

And I took a look at the Photo Board and just shook my head. It has no personality what so ever. It's just not any fun to me.

Sadly,

Steph from NC.

Plenty of under 35 yr olds were there.

And I'm one of those "old broads" who try to take good care of herself, because one absolute truth for me is there is someone younger and totally HOT around every corner for me.

Those who weren't interested could easily skip them while those liked them could readily find pics of local and touring ladies.  Having all pics on one board is something I am unlikely to visit unless I have a specific reason to go look for pics of a particular provider.  Even then, I am more likely to look for an ad or website.

I guess I left out the fat and ugly ones...didn't meant to discriminate.

My first reaction was to WTF? Maybe there is an explanation or good reason for the change I don't seen one but I as the other members would love to hear the reasoning behind this change.
Not only did the regional theme threads encourage flirting and friendliy banter between us fellas and the ladies they were also great for a quick look if traveling to a new area.  
The present layout is not organized in any way and other then maybe some 13 year old kids coming across it for spanking material it is pretty much useless.  
For me as for a lot of other fellas the regional threads helped us know who was in our area and maybe cultivate communication through our flirts and their responses. I'm sure it was  much better for the ladies from a business standpoint than the current board.  
I am very interested to hear the reasoning behind the change and how it is supposed to benefit our little community. More local board activity should be encouraged it's better for everyone.

Remember, I am supposed to gag on every single woman on Earth over the age of 35. However, I know this place about 12 parsecs from Earth where their life expectancy is about 300 of our solar years.

But not hotter. Just my two cents

Agree EOM

Will there be any answers or replies to the comments: complaints about the photo thread change? At the very least it would be nice if admin would explain the reason for the change.

You're still new around here. While admin has occasionally posted on boards, and explained some change, it is a very rare occasion. TER has made tons of changes over the years with no explanations whatsoever. Don't hold your breath.

That is probably true for some boards which exist of mostly photo threads but there are some boards where is added fun. Instead of restricting the photos to just one board why not invote some more interesting discussions on the regional boards. Just my opinion and worth about as much as a used condom ... although from what I understand there are few providers who will reuse them lol.

Another useless piece of work and waste of bandwidth. In his defense though, I have doubts that mrfisher is responsible for the photo board. The actual suggestion and implementation time line does not fit with a rusty wheel. More then likely this new "bored" was in the oven for quite some time.

The change wasn't ment to make things better, it was ment to eliminate complaints about photo threads and the work that TER support staff had to do to deal with the complaints.

Theme Days allowed an opportunity for a touring lady as well as locals not only strut their stuff with pics  but to share a little of their persona. Clever banter and playful comments always added to the board.

But I can tell you they went to a lot of time and trouble to put the no photo threads on regional board, and to add that waste of time Photo Board, IMO.

And I'm betting they anticipated catching some flack. and OMD that Photo Board is EVERY DAY POSTING! Of course if it doesn't generated a lot of participation a or "reads" (which can be manipulated, maybe we'll get our regional board theme day back!

UGH!

Steph

Is it possible the lack of views is because there is no organization and its nation wide not specific to regions? MN board had several hundred hits most pics and many over 1000.  I would think the 10 year olds would utilize the new photo board considering it has more pics and no filtering through the chats.

Flat mide doesn't show views, (you have to "click" on a post to raise the view count. In gkat mide, there is no clicking)  and the photo board is defaulted in flat mode. This has been mentioned numerous times in the various photo board threads.

Tired MILFs and fugly providers need all the exposure they can get since the phone isn't ringing. They will probably ask for a photo board for each city.

This will give others a real idea of how many people are really visiting the board. Maybe TER can see how many clicks are coming through to see themselves which is what i'm hoping but I think those members who aren't happy will calm down if they actually see some success.  

Lol....yea, so providers can keeping clicking their post to make them look "popular".......that's what the MILFs, BSC providers & Fuglies would do all day long
