And even more popular.

The last few days when I was logged in, the number of users online was near 3000.  A week ago, it was still under 2000 most of the time.  On VPN, it was often 2-300.  Obviously, we can't expect 50% increases weekly, but the growth curve is headed in the right direction.  As more members return, it will have a domino effect on others.  It may take awhile to lure those back that had defected during the  blackout to other review sites, but as others leave those sites too, the holdouts will eventually  realize its in their best interests to return to TER.  No one wants to go down with the  those "ships" just out of stubbornness.  

Yes, it's too soon to know and there's a long way to go but earlier today there were more than 3,000 people on line. And more old posters are showing up every day.

With the men here, yeah probably. With the women? No, I dont think so. I think that ship has sailed.

I see a lot of my UTR friends now want to be active on TER. Providers who were delisted before 2018c now back on active here .   After struggling for almost two years , women understand  TER is the place to make money!!

If the men start showing up here in meaningful numbers, the ladies will follow.
Duh.

And that increase is despite you and Laffy still posting.

There is a VERY strong anti-TER bias among MANY women and that was exacerbated post Sesta/Fosta as girls found a way to thrive without TER.

Oh, and nice move trying to hijack a positive thread, douchebag. Are your Black-Panties ALWAYS in a wad?

You're being myopic. Also egocentric if you really think TER needs to implement YOUR ideas.

You are kidding yourself if you think it's a "few women." But you are elderly now and not hobbying with hot, younger girls any longer so you wouldn't even know what I am talking about.

many many many girls, he means  3.

I think most women know what they are doing with their advertising. They are free to do what makes them most comfortable. Some may not feel advertising here is in there best interest, and that may or may not be true, but that is there call to make. You disagree with me privatejet? Thank you.

So, yeah, that's not arrogant and self-centered at ALL. BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
And how the fuck do YOU know it's not a "few women?" Your secret decoder ring?
Get over yourself.

A few days ago someone mentioned that a lot of the TER-bashing ladies from the past two years were among the first to reappear on the ad boards.  I think you are right.  Despite putting a positive spin on it, most indies have struggled the past two years without TER.  As  you say, THIS is the place to make money for providers.  They will be back, except for the ones that Jack mentioned.  I'm sure he's right about them, but that is probably a small percentage of the whole.  lol

And TER is not just  about advertising..  

All of my dates were/are secured at P411, where I can easily see if I will be a good fit with a provider. I usually can't tell that  from ads or profiles here. I'll still yammer on the forums and add reviews, but searching for a provider here is something that I won;t do anymore.

Look at BP when CL stop BP became the big one like concent or not it was popular.  It could become bigger with over half of most used sights down. Guys and gals looking for the replacement.  
1. Allow adds that are real most sight are fill of spam bots.  
2. allow review from everywhere and don't have a anticompitation rule. If looking for a honest review I more inclined to read yet than a page that allows her to post her own reviews.  
3. Keep out the USA far as servers.

Think about it. The reason TER is unique is because it is the road and track magazine of the hobby. This is the place where the educated hobbyist goes to learn and ascertain about prospective women that he might be interested. Anytime you start to spend a considerable sum or more there are certain things you want to learn about providers before you plunk down X.  For those who want to be in the know, this is the primary online library and it served as a gauge during the initial stage of Fosta and Sesta in terms of the level of paranoia and the decisions providers and hobbyist made.  It also was the advent of the online bob and weave.  That is when the VPN was more necessary although that technology was always prevalent.

I’m not sure if ter will be as large/popular as before. My guess, no it won’t.  TBH, I really don’t care. I’ll log on, look at the boards that interest me and post when I feel like it and I’ll write reviews from time to time.  I’ve met a number of new providers while TER was on sabbatical, so I know I can survive without TER.

now that TER is back. Take that as you will but I think the girls know that this board means something to their bottom line! I do agree that TER has a way to go to get back what it has lost.

I know that's not difficult. The problem TER has with the ladies is the bad will the management has with it's non consent policies. As long as it will publish reviews of ladies without their consent (if they have a website) , there will be a large number who will boycott and continue to bad mouth..

Have you EVER heard of a review site that had to get permission from the reviewed businesses before they published a review?

You actually put providers in the negative just by knowing you. lol

If admin and the moderators step it up.and keep the trolls out of the discussions. It was getting out of hand before the site pulled out of the US, and the ladies were already starting to delist. I think the ones who are coming back are hoping for some positive changes. In the meantime, I will continue to check in once a week or so to see what's going on, but Twitter works best for me at the moment.

You have this yappy little rat dog following you around "trying" interjecting himself into a conversation he knows NOTHING about. One cuddle session a decade ago hardly makes your little buddy an expert about anything to do about hookers and his support only weakens your argument.

I think Jack is on twitter so he will know what I am talking about. When TER folded like a cheap suit and booted the ladies off after F/S most ran to twitter and MANY of them are now radically "woke".  

Did you just out inicky ? Ruh roh

Laffy would do.  When you have an IQ of 80 (same as Forrest Gump), sometimes you don't think things through.  Run, Laffy, Run . . . . .

Ho's are only "woke" when it doesn't cost them money.  

"Radically woke" is correct. Its funny how they project their morals as to who can out woke who. lol

TER is stuck in the stone age and needs to be brought up to speed a bit. The last two years is like a decade has passed. You and I agree on a few changes, disagree on a few. Ok why not implement the ones we, and most here, agree on?

Ok, here is a change I think we might agree on.

Better yet, go find a protest somewhere. Hopefully it’s in oncoming highway traffic.

you are talking about "paying members."  And revenue is important.  But write a review on one of those who choose not to come back and presto, like it or not, they well be back on TER, de facto.

I get all that. Except this is a review site for illegal enterprises and creating a list of meetings that gets brought into courts when prosecuted should have the consent of all parties.
And I get that you don't give a fuck about them.

TER doesn't put these women on the internet for all to see, these women have to already be out there looking for business to be reviewed here in the first place.

Agree completely.  Just imagine what kind of an upside-down, hobbying world we all would live in, if providers had to approve reviews before they were posted!  Makes no sense.

If someone doesn't want to be on a review site, you can choose not to see her any time you want.
That would be a good enough red flag for you, wouldn't it?  
Just don't pay to see them.  
This entitled bullshit is ridiculous.  
And now TER is threatening turning providers in to authorities when they send notices to delist.

> established reviewers have been known to leverage (extort) girls for extra services, discounted rates, or even freebies for a positive review along with a threat of a bad review if she won't play along.  

TER PO board is for.  They exchange info on who are the douches and the dangerous.

I can see TER leaning towards the kinda reviews and sources that have made that Monkey site a viable option when TER went dark. My hope is that TER clamps down on the reviews that seem suspect or come from sources that seem like BP ads.
TER, in a rush to gain momentum in popularity may loose site of what made this site so popular, it's credibility.

Credibility? EM got it's base reviews from TER. They were direct copies from here. How did that happen?

It's supply and demand...  The guys...which is us... are the supplies... the demand...are them.... they will not all come back at once, but if there are more demand on here, they will comeback even if they do not like it...  

TER back in 2004 - 2009 has never been equaled in the past decade.  This is not to say that we can't bring things back to normal as defined before FOSTA, but beyond that is going to take work, and lots of new blood.  

Yep. Had to

I think it will become almost as popular as before (say 90%). The only reason it would not be 100% is fragmentation. (No TV show will ever have the ratings of Seinfeld because there are more channels now.)

Currently in Tampa using an organic search on the internet for "escort reviews" ter does not show up at all. I went through all 6 relevant pages and nothing. I can easily get to the site by just entering it's domain, but I cannot find it on a search. Ter was gone for so long it appears it completely lost it's algorithm with the web spiders or ter has decided not to do any seo and not list it by (Search engine Optimization) as to remain hidden from the general public.  Don't know if this is the case throughout America but it's a ghost here.  

Review posting is ultimately more important than message board participation. And it's very dependent on region. For DC, it looks like there are 10 or so reviews a day being posted currently, which is pretty good. Guys may still be catching up and writing reviews for older dates. IIRC there would be at least 20 or so reviews a day posted for DC.
.
For Detroit, there have only  been four reviews posted since TER went back up. Detroit was never a TER hotbed.

SEO is important for legit businesses who want to keep themselves prominently in the public eye. Not sure that's necessarily a wise strategy for TER's future. They have a substantial potential client-base of former users, who don't need search results to make them aware of TER, and many of those will return as the review numbers climb and the value proposition of the site increases. If they can attract those users and continue growing in a low-key way that might be the more prudent course. Only the owners will be able to tell if that generates enough revenue to pay the bills and a satisfactory profit margin. Whatever they do, I would hope they proceed cautiously as FOSTA-SESTA is still an untested minefield.
