I am desperately asking if there is any idea that TER is working on plans to save such a great business model. Moving servers etc.   I as a long term hobbyist who relied on this website for life ( yes for life ), of a lifestyle I loved.. WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM PAYING $5000  A YEAR FOR MEMBERSHIP TO GET BACK INTO THE GAME.

I hope TER is listening... many of use would double, triple, QUAD-DRIPPLE  our previous membership fees to get back to life...  

Think about this, maybe 50% or greater would not pay but that would be offset by the 50% who would double their membership fees... you make the same and probably more ...

Please chime in on ideas concerning this

I would never pay for access to a board above 2 figures and would rather give it to the ladies.  I have been in the hobby long before the internet and found some amazing women then and believe with this set back will adapt once again.

But wrote only 2 reviews
So you benefit from a system
But do not contribute
Selfish much?

If everyone thought you only support TER monetarily, then what's the point of joining

You can’t move the site to a foreign home and do the same thing. Only other place is dark web....please explain how you think it can come back?

I'd be willing to pay more, but not 20x more. You'd think TER would at least blank out the location, not all the gals are going to do it themselves.

Why not?
I suspect that's exactly what they're trying to do....or else sell the site to a foreign entity.
Look at the Total Reviews on the right over there. You don't think the other 1.2MM reviews that were removed after the legislation passed are worth something to someone?

Personally, I'm not paying any more than I have to.  My contribution to the site is the reviews I write, answering questions about providers I've seen, and occasionally taking one for the team.  

If the reviews don't come back by June then I'm gone.  I've already met some cool chicks on Switter and I'm working on my P411 fuck-it list.

It was REALLY TER's own marketing idea. With all those TWATTERs and other bashers, ad and paid memberships were in decline, so TER pulled a "NEW COKE." Deprive the public of what they want to rekindle demand. now we have mongers and providers offering to pay 2-4x the previous rate. ROFL, seriously, how much is a couple years in a federal pen worth to you????

 
Maybe I'd jump on this broken-down bandwagon if the new 4x rate came with corresponding 4x VIP days for new reviews and problem reports. I've been VIP for (I'd don't know how long) and always relied on these compensated efforts. When my VIP runs out in another 100 days or so I guess I'll have to road trip to Vancouver or TJ just so I can keep up with news on the RO board.

Re: I would pay 2500
I have not had a single legit inquiry from guys since the day TER pulled the reviews. Without reviews how is it possible to compete with girls charging less. Some girls look similar to me charging half of what I charge.
If you can't compete with the girls with lower rates, then lower your rates. Hobbyists are much more reluctant to spend a lot of money on costlier providers without reviews to persuade them that such high rates are a good investment. In a post-review world, rates will probably trend downwards, because guys will recognize that it is a crap shoot without reviews.

If you haven't attracted a single  new client in weeks there may be more issues than lack of reviews.  

There are many other options if you can't bring yourself to lowering your rates to the competition. Cultivate your regulars and one-on-one marketing to name a few. Good luck.

Charging that much for access will kill it pretty damn quick.

Just send me your $5000 and I will argue your case before the TER justices for up to ten hours, or until I get us both banned.  What do you say?

OUCH, what the%$#@ did I ever do to you.

 I did more reading than reviews. Yes I was selfish and should correct that.

The only way TER could come back is if the owner sells the site to a European person. There is another escort mall owner that is American doing this very thing right now, but that site is trash unfortunately.

“Sec. 3) The bill amends the federal criminal code to add a new section that imposes penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to 10 years, or both—on a person who, using a facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, owns, manages, or operates an interactive computer service (or attempts or conspires to do so) to promote or facilitate the prostitution of another person.
Additionally, it establishes enhanced penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to 25 years, or both—for a person who commits the offense in one of the following aggravating circumstances: (1) promotes or facilitates the prostitution of five or more persons, or (2) acts with reckless disregard that such conduct contributes to sex trafficking.”

I keep coming back to the term, "another person," so it makes me think they are not targeting independent working girls, only pimps and agencies.  Maybe this is a way they are exempting the ladies that THEY see while appearing to take a hard line on sex work.

The “another person” is in regards to owning/managing/operating an interactive computer service. Such as the owners of TER, Twitter, Wix, etc.

The 25 year sentence is in regard to “facilitating or promoting the prostitution of 5 or more persons” I think target agencies mostly. But, it also hurts those of us indies who have lots of doubles partners. It sucks because it forces us to pair down to only 3 doubles partners listed on our websites. It also hurts the assistants that work for independent ladies that create newsletters for their bosses.

You are like a Remora eel that hooked its fangs to the apex ocean predators of the old site, sucking the life out of them but do not add to their well being and benefit.
Now the Remora eel wants the sharks to pay 5K a month to bring the system back that he used and abused so much.
So he can be a parasite again
I never paid a damn cent to TER but contributed exponentially more than you

Surely you can afford it.   Leave us working class to work on TER.

Then I would surely think having a guy come in and slobber and hump on you like a jackrabbit on speed would be unappealing.  
Hour appointments are short as it is, but half hour is just tasteless.....not towards the provider, but the class of men that would find it appealing. There's no connection,  no warming up....just get in there and get it done.

If you are unwilling unable to compromise on your rates, offering half-hour sessions might be another way to mitigate a lack of reviews. Many guys might be more willing to take a chance on a half-hour session because it is less of an investment.
