Just kidding with you on that one.  My guess is most are just browsing looking for the next date or reading away on the various boards.  I don't think that TER has an actual hiding spot for the others just lurking...at least I haven't found it yet.

Glad to see that you are perusing all of this and getting yourself educated on the way the game is played here in the States.  Good luck to you once you are here and ready to play.

the users; most are probably looking for dates without bothering to post anything except an occasional review. Some are merely lurking, again, not posting. The US is a pretty big place and 12,000 +/- isn't a lot of people looking for companionship.

Re the chat room though: it's always hit or miss, mostly miss. For awhile, it didn't even work, so the few that ventured there couldn't meet. The rest just kind of wandered away. PLUS, you have to figure that the majority of those that post here are on the Chicago / New York time zones. At 6:55pmCST or 7:55Pm EST, that leaves London in the wee hours of the next morning or the West Coast falling behind by two-three hours. Chat is a tough way to meet anyone.

...lurkers who never post but only read.

I can understand the need for privacy and LE though... And I'm posting under an alias for privacy concerns. hope people can respect the use of alias here!

But personally,  I figured wtf will donut man ever find from my posts, as long as I don't kill anyone or anything severe like that? Some reviews that are, for the record, all considered to be a work of fiction, slap stick discussions that half the people don't even bother reading, and goof off with friends, a fake name in profile, hobby email... figure it will be pretty hard to prove that I actually saw a provider.

Cuz for the record, I have never seen a provider.  As far as I know they looked exactly like civvy girls who all found me passionately and irresistibly attractive to death and we had a mutually consenting time. I have no reason to suspect that her gfe was fake.

Maybe they'll find some ip addresses too but pretty damn certain that its going to take more than a misdemeanor case to get additional info from the ISP in order to pinpoint my real name and address. (if even that is possible cuz in my case it aint even linked to my real name either lol)

Most importantly though, I don't plan on breaking the law at the felony level that would draw unwanted and unneccessary attention to myself. If I do, At that point i'll have much bigger problems to deal with than my works of fiction and lame posts on disscusion boards...

for about 2 1/2 years befor I even clicked on the discussion board tab. Didn't see the need. Nor benefit.

not sure I do now


HalfHour

Used to use one on a local board, but it has even gone dead.  I'm like the large majority of users here, I use the site to find out info about the ladies I have an interest in seeing.  Occasionally, I will PM someone for extra info, or to answer a question,, but most of the time I'm just reading posts and reviews.  I do post comments on a few of the forums also, but leave chatting to friends I talk on IM sites.

Swim

I was a lurker for at least a year before I decided to participate on some of the boards.  I use to just sit quietly in the peanut gallery gathering info on new providers and doing my homework.  I'm sure that a majority of those users that we see online are probably doing the same thing ...LOL.

Hey guys and Dolls,

Thanks for all your replies im not sure some of them even relate to what i asked, some of them are bizarre and some are just funny but all in the replies made me laugh and cleared up my little where is everybody question so it's not all bad. I'll stay out of chat then cause it's obviously not the place to be but i'll keep posting on these boards cause its entertaining and informative...... and to the lurkers that chimed in I'm glad i made an impact enough for you to contribute come chime again soon LOL

Have a great day all, Casey xx
