TER is a black box. They're going to protect their interests before anyone else's.  

They've just destroyed the most valuable site in this business. The only reason is they must be afraid of doing hard time in "The House of Many Doors."

I ask already by the contact us if possible they will allow us at least copy of our reviews, no response yet

I was proud of my reviews and everything I did over the years..... It makes no sense to delete. FOSTA and it bill is unconstitutional and the retroactive clause will have it thrown out in the first court case that it shows up in.

Loved your input on the boards, Devin.  
I too, shall miss these boards as well as some great guys!
Good times! There's never enough of them...

I was wondering what happened

I have no reviews submitted, as if I was a client.

holy wow!! This is just craziness. I can't believe that this is all happening. But I know we will all land on our feet. We'll find each other somehow. I never thought it would all come to this. Hopefully people will have the gumption to fight this insanity. You know, first they came for the sex workers...

I knew this would eventually happen.
Not sure why these reputable sites didn't already have their sites on foreign servers etc.
Heck, my site is hosted out of the country.

Damn, I guess I need to go back to vanilla Facebook.

I backed up my reviews with screenshots. This is so disappointing.

What a farkakte mess! Within a week's time, my web host went dark (Escort Design), now this. I was so proud of my reviews, too...  

... what I really want to do.

well, I have a new website, clean my twitter, open a SWtitter (or whatever it is).... and if anyone google veronica turbay... they can find me!  
i make sure i am on every. single. active. board so far.

Re: Ive read that trump is going to sign this thing tomorrow

it's a shame they name bills , period. i feel many bills get passed on name alone. i think we all agree sex trafficking is bad and we want to stop it -- problem is this ain't going to do it and also puts many sex workers by choice in more danger. If they called it the "let's endanger people's lives and over censor the internet like china" it probably would not get the support it got.

I had to get a nifty new site thanks to EscortDesign disappearing randomly (mostly done).
Sooooo fun.  
Switter is cool tho.  I'll get on Twitter and IG in the next week or 2 and i'll just update that to my site when that happens.

TER IS hosted outside the U.S. and they still felt vulnerable enough to take very drastic action. They must know something we do not know.

that affect your business, from my own experience, corporate attorneys go into CYA mode until they can do a full legal analysis of the new challenges because they don't want to be liable by giving you wrong advice in haste.  Believe me, having been there, TER feels just as hamstringed as we do right now, but I'm sure their attorneys have advised them to use an over-abundance of caution until they can sort things out and make a MORE INFORMED decision on the full impact of FOSTA/SESTA on TER.  Meanwhile, rather than constant eulogies, we all need to find other ways to engage ourselves in the hobby until TER gets a full or partial green light from their attorneys.  The fact that we are all here chatting is proof that the corpus is still intact and no final decisions have yet been made.  I have been using my spare time (because I can no longer write reviews here) to research what other local and regional ad sites there are online to recommend to the ladies I know.  When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade.  

That would be great if we could!

I think that is one of the main things that they are trying to avoid. If they put your contact information they are assumed liable for advertising. This is all so ridiculous!

For some reason, I can still see your reviews. Would you like me to make a screenshot for you?

YOU, of ALL people, are going to get weepy and sentimental?

Hosted outside of the US, but their domain name is registered in the US.  Means they are at risk of losing their domain (theeroticreview.com).  More likely, the problem is that they are Americans, and so they have to be worried about US laws if they live/visit the US.

Only the bright ones with good reviews will figure it out. You're the only one so far.

It's not just that she is getting all weepy and sentimental, but she didn't even give a final GO FUCK YOURSELF to a couple of people who definitely deserve it.

Domains are a dime a dozen. I hope that isn't the reason.

First it was net neutrality. Remember?  

We've been over this already. This law was passed by every liberal in the Senate. There is NO legal prostitution in any liberal dominant US state. Either start voting for bonafide libertarians or shut the fuck up.

TER boards are the closest I will ever come to ANY social media.  I wouldn't mind following you, though.  I can only imagine what the view is like from behind.  Sorry.  A shameless flirt to be sure.  Lol

Hi there,  
How do I cache my reviews?

"Like your own private TER, only shittier."  

If Ter is hosted internationally, explain why they are succumbing to US legislation?

I don't know what you're talking about. You made no attempt to refute my point (Pence wants a puritan state and Putin's puppet doesn't read) but seem to think you are arguing with me.  

Here is just one example about how much support this bill got from the "freedom loving" left.

extreme for me. The basically want to start over and have no laws. You can kiss all government programs and protections goodbye if the libertarians ever came to power.

From this article on the plea bargain of the Bee Pee CEO:  
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/true-crime/wp/2018/04/13/backpage-ceo-carl-ferrer-pleads-guilty-in-three-states-agrees-to-testify-against-other-website-officials/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.84b93620a23a
.
The article mentions the guilty plea to a single case of sex trafficking.  "[The CEO] pleaded Backpage and other related entities guilty to human trafficking of a teenaged girl, ..." The negotiated plea was for a single case so there are probably more but how many more? A million? A thousand? A hundred? Ten?
.
"“This is such an important step forward for the many people who’ve been combating human trafficking,” said Maggy Krell, a former assistant attorney general in California who worked on the case until leaving the office last month. She was in court for Ferrer’s plea Thursday. “There is no one in the entire world who made more money off sex trafficking than the owners of this website."  Not all SW is trafficked!!  
And every analysis says that children are more often trafficked and abused for illegal labor (factories, fields - essentially, slave labor) than for sex by a huge factor.  
.
I'm wiling to bet that 99+% of beepie's money came from ads from Consenting Adults. I asked in another post, but does anyone know if there were any studies (academic, LE, or political) of their ad breakdown? As GaG's HuffPo link points out, it was easier to find and rescue trafficking victims when they could be found on bea pea. "When websites are shut down, the sex trade is pushed underground and sex trafficking victims are forced into even more dangerous circumstances ... [and] trafficking victims face even more violence, are less likely to be identified, with less evidence of their victimization."
.
Absolutely, fight child trafficking and the coercion of others. However, in the process, don't trample on the vast majority of SWs who are Consenting Adults.  
.
EDIT: forgot to link the link - done

but even if TER goes away, I am sure "something" is going to replace them and I am equally sure many/most of us will find that "something" and have one great big homecoming party. lol

I agree. I hate see the boards this slow. Kills my morning coffee and evening ice cream.

There are all kinds of laws we don't know about. If "they" are out to get you... they will. TER no doubt spends a lot of money on good legal council. I don't believe they are making knee jerk reactions.
