On the busiest regional boards, it fixes the problem of ads being pushed off the front page.  The slower boards will resemble a ghost town.  It doubles the number of boards the average guy needs to read to get the information he's been currently getting and most won't bother.  Provider participation on the boards will drop even more.  Books is understandable?  Really, what does it mean to you?  I went there to talk to my bookie but he wasn't there.  Asia is a board for Asians to exchange recipes or for the 6 posts that hit the boards about going there.  It seems like TER is trying to set the record for the most discussion boards with hardly any posts.  Seems foolish to me but what do I know?  I'm 2dumb2breed.

The provider ads on the local boards are a nice counterpart to the occassional discussions.

I know that some busy boards have the problem of ads getting pushed off, but would the solution to that to be to expand those pages?

It's a good move for the future of TER. Gents don't search for reviews they search for escorts in their area. Providers do the same to find a place to advertise. Do you not use google to find everything you want or are curious about. Classifieds is the way to go and it will be here once BackPage folds. Plenty of newbie traffic will come this way with fresh faces for the guys and new money for the girls. It could be a win win for everyone. But separating now will make the move easier now and bring more traffic this way.
