Or any other review site for that matter. What would you do. I would give up the hobby.

This is weird, like an old Twilight Zone.

Maybe this is the TER afterlife, or what it's like to be trapped in some absurdist reality created by Kafka or Sartre.

I just hope they get this thing fixed pronto.

But my work around does work sort of.

without the info i get from TER.

We would just be alittle
more cautious thats all.

the MP's would still be
a option.

I hobbied for many years before TER, (or the internet for that matter, or before it was called hobbying lol) and I am sure I would continue. Prior to TER, I had some really good experiences, some pretty bad ones, and a lot of mediocre ones. Since TER, I can honestly say I have not had a bad experience.  So I would be taking more chances but I would not stop hobbying.

TER has become a great resource, but it is not essential.

I love TER more for the boards than the reviews because it can be a lonely hobby, but lately, my love for the boards has become an unrequited one.

I wouldn't give up the hobby, since I'd still be able to connect with at least a few of my favorite providers.  The only problem would be the lack of resources for finding new providers and the safety factor.  Of course if I were desperate, I could always head back to the legal brothels in Nevada where I got my in the hobby ...LOL.

faves we have seen to keep us occupied for the rest of our lives.  I know I do.  We all like variety and it would prob make finding new ones to see more of a challenge, but we would survive.

I would continue to hobby with primarily the ones I have seen, and maybe take a chance every so often.

...I see now. Keep using the agencies. Get recommendations from providers. I knew about TER and lurked about a year before I used it. I'd go back to that.

the name of a new lady or two from them or a hobbyist I trust.

Trade papers, and personal referral. I/WE would all become infinitely more loyal to any and all good providers because finding em' would be much more problematic

LOL, I had no idea that TER even existed when I started back in 04. For the first month or so, I used the local paper to advertise, & then eventually found that there were sites online. Somehow never came across TER... heard about it in 08 & finally realized there were actually boards & such(besides reviews) in 09.

So, I don't think it would stop anyone from hobbying... there are too many other avenues.. just have to be more cautious using those.

I would continue to hobby, as I have long had enough contacts in the game to continue indefinitely.

Had TER not existed when I was a newbie, I'd probably still be wasting $ at strip clubs.  Or maybe I would have finally met Ms. Right, and lived happily ever after.  Who knows?

Since your reviews go back to 06

It started out in the personals section in the local tribunes . USA Today even had a place for that .
Yellow page ads were sold under the escort /entertainment section you could have a squint eye small ad
which generally meant you were independent, or you could have a large ad. The larger the ad the more
traffic. Also chat rooms came open . Guys would lurk there to make friends with benefits. I did not know
about this board until a local Los Angeles provider told me . She had ads on CV , several other sites
but reviews came later so if TER was not around I assume everybody would go back in time and redo how things are done.

Ang

I am guessing it would decrease my business a lot being I would have to go with personal info. in every case. I do this locally, but when I tour I only require refs.
