I've plenty of suggestions to improve TER, but as a newbie yourself you are not going to be able to do much.  

We're the ones PAYING the fkn $$$$!  They don't pay for advertising here, do they?  

Go campaign else where

More people on line means less people on actual dates.

Go back a year, two and then five and you'll realize that has been the norm on the discussion boards.  What might appear misleading is that up till a couple of years ago there were unlimited aliases used.  So many of the unfamiliar handles were actually the same folks, some of which still play here today.

This web site is called 'The Erotic Review'.  The operative word here is REVIEW.

don't think they have to pay for it either.  

Do it yourself, and stop bitching

Think about the first time you ever posted on TER.  I bet it took you a long while before you got the balls to post your first post.  That's how it was for many of the top posters here.  

he started with an 'A la carte' question, and now carte blanche... eom

Y'all get to brag about your conquests,  talk to beautiful women,  gossip about beautiful women,  and check every detail on a beautiful woman before you spend money on her.  We get a little marketing and extra credibility, which is important,  yes,  but I'm pretty sure all us girls would be okay without TER. Whereas the men would probably lose a lot of money on bad experiences.

... a side line. Just a little something for kicks. The reviews are the point. Checking out the ladies and researching is it's purpose. While there are improvements that could be made participation on the boards is not a priority. The high number of users on line tells me it's serving it's purpose.

With out TER or other review sites?  

imes have changed.  Hookin' went from street corners to underground.  

I'd say Hookin' went from street corner, to underground, to mainstream.

does not compare to the impact modern social media has.  several orders of magnitude in difference.  

I'm not talking tech, forget the tech aspect for a moment. Not every one can recommend their favorite hooker in a face to face meeting. Now the tech part comes into play, they are all the same format. The only thing separating one from the other is popularity.

And if there's no TER?  Far less safe for providers and johns. I think both sides will be affected

And get off the quest to change the whole board.. Enjoy the site as you like.... WTF is wrong with you man !!

First of all, the boards are no more "hostile" now than they were a few years ago.  Since you weren't here then, how would you know anyway?
And, no, not all newcomers get piled "on."  Only the dumbasses.  Smart new posters like Courtney and BCD have never gotten piled on.

You have hit the nail squarely on the head. Perhaps Roddy will read this and get a clue.

Someone who thinks he's seeing it all with clear eyes.  But in fact is completely clueless.  The problem is, he has no clue he's clueless.
PS: GaG says if Roddy really has a Jesus complex, he promises to supply the nails.  Got a hammer?

You along with a few others, I'd say 4 or 5 'regular' posters who have been here since the cow's age 'jump' on everyone, and everything when 'you' deem fit. I'd love to know who in gods name made you all bosses here. Someone must've been drinking that morning indeed. I don't need meds but thanks. Can you find something new and original to post please.  

undermining what does go on here. The reviews are the intent, but then why are so many checking out the discussion boards more than the reviews seemingly. I think you are not giving the 'boards' their due credit in all honesty. And you said it right, the number of users is a perfect example of what it's purpose is, I just wouldn't solely believe it's what it's purpose is for...reviews alone. The boards carry more of a voice than you think or there wouldn't be so many heated debates when an actual 'intellectual' conversation hits the forum. It may only happen once in a while, but when it does shows you just how the 'boards' are not taken so lightly.

But what I did read is riddled with errors.  First of all, the number of posters I've "jumped on" here is actually quite small.  If it makes you feel better to distort that, be my guest.
As to all the PMs you get from the people who support you and are afraid to post here, well, ROFLMAO!
As to who made me the boss here, I did that, lol!  Nope, actually, I don't think I'm the boss of anything here.  I just post what I think, as do you and everyone else.  I don't tell anyone else what to think or do.  We have you for that.  Like when you just told ADJ to never again respond to one of your posts.
Geezk!
Your return in an even more intensely negative form reminds me of what Talleyrand said of the Bourbons when they returned to power in France after Napoleon:
"They have forgotten nothing, and they have learned nothing."

But I was not one of those who jumped on you.  When someone is likable and usually posts sensible stuff, I will not jump on them for one post I disagree with.  But I still think you're a good example of someone who recently came here and was treated well almost all the time.

And you got an apology from an anonymous guy on a fboard.

When one gets through it, it's really the same point from the previous threads and in the first couple of sentences regurgitated over and over.

It was the reason the founder started it for.

You weren't even around for that long so how would you know?

It's possible you're free and above all that comes with the necessary evil that is TER, so that's a good thing for you.

I don't mean we could all delist and go without reviews and be just fine.  

Rod said the boards need improving. His evidence is how few view/post on them. He based it on the Online number shown at the top of the page ( at this moment 23,444) compared to how many are active on the boards. I believe he said hundreds. You are stating just the opposite, you said :"...but then why are so many checking out the discussion boards more than the reviews seemingly." The numbers stated by Rod and backed up by what is readily available information on TER ie. the numbers at the top of the page vs those of board participation don't support your statement. Now you may think more of those among the online number are lurking on the boards rather than checking out reviews and profiles but you don't have evidence of it and can't support that statement. Your PM's from supporters notwithstanding since those are a very small sample of the whole of TER.

Funny thing is, I was referring to a year ago, but I'll let you think I'm still thinking about you lol.
