It's a little DISCONCERTING when you click on a "pro's" page on here and notice that she hasn't had a review in over TWO years (obviously due to the "shutdown").

and so your conclusion is false also.  Not only was  TER inaccessible from the US, they also removed all reviews of US providers and disallowed any new reviews for US providers.  Everything came back within a few days of TER allowing US access again.  In other words, we could NOT post reviews for US girls during the blackout.  I saw about 100 different girls during that time period, and I would have reviewed all of them if I could.

It wasn't just TER getting canned either, there were more than a few sites that got shut down in one way or another. You're right in assuming that most people didn't retire during the last 2 years. As far as alternatives, well, TER won't let  you link to any other review boards. There are a few out there, and depending on the region you're in, they can be pretty good, or absolutely worthless.

We ALL know about the providers here using social media, so that would hardly be news to any of us, but even if there were other review sites that the ladies had been using it would be against TER rules for them to name them.

Wait, what's the FALSE assumption?

Aside from being a well known DICK, you seem to have an unseemly "HARD ON" for me, bordering on OBSESSION.

Yeah, I used the so called "alternatives," and they never quite measured up.
Goes to show you how ENTANGLED (if that's the right term!) this whole "biz" is, when after almost 20 years (?), there hasn't been a LEGITIMATE competitor/alternative to "T.E.R."
"Switter" showed promise, but that's ALL it showed.
"Twitter" had MAJOR potential, but the atmosphere is just so ANTI-monger that it can't, in its current form, be considered a viable alternative.
"Tryst" has a leg up in terms of MEDIA (photos, etc.), but its LIMITED reviews section CAN'T compare to the expanse of "T.E.R.'s" database.
I would agree that many "pros" probably went "UTR," but that had to have put a dint on new business, which I think is more prevalent in this sector than in other service sectors.

Let me go back to my original question.

I definitely recommend THERAPY, intensive therapy for you, sir, as it seems like you have ANGER issues as well.  
It's OK.

Right Lolo, he always seems so angry...poor soul indeed.

Switter never showed promise in my eyes, and in its current state, I was 100% correct in that conclusion. It's turned into agency spam bots and low quality backpage girls who had nowhere else to go.

"I PITY THE FOOL!"  LOL!  

While TER is asleep at the wheel there is one site that is growing like a weed with non explicit reviews. It does not have a forum. I know damn well that the people who are against the "juicy details" know where it is.  

GaGagger, leader of the "crew" says with a grain of salt.  The only way he can dance around a point is by insulting.  Don't even expect to FIND the point in any of his posts.

If you think this is bad, just wait until GaGagger's alter ego Hack Dumby and the other member of the "crew" chime in.  Then you will have three half cocked posters to contend with.

...Maybe he should read his own posts.  BWAHAHAHA!

Lil sauce takes offense to you calling him half-cocked and wants you to know that circumcision doesn't make him any less cocked than the rest of you barbarians.

Gotta admit... that's GANGSTA!  
Hey, "GaGaGooGoo," why don't ya take out your "Trapper Keeper" and take some POINTERS, brah?!
ROTFLOL!  

You mean "GaGaGooGoo" is actually attempting to make a POINT?
I just thought it was the RAMBLINGS of someone suffering from late stage DEMENTIA?!
Poor OLD guy!  There's HOPE for you yet, buddy!
LOL!

Is that in reference to the half CHUBBYs they give each other when they MEET?
HOMOerotic, INDEED!  

Burns was quite the player in his time.

separation anxiety.  Did not notice the other two members of his "crew" in this post and they usually chime in on EVERYTHING GaGagger posts.

"chubby."  BPOS is back today.

And NO ONE know WHAT the fuck you're talking about...

... like to stick TOGETHER, for "protection."
No worries, "ladies."
No one's gonna HURT you here, unless you find WORDS ( and capitalized ones at that!) to have a DELETERIOUS effect on you.
I that case, you better break out the "smelling salts," sistas!  LOL!  

Just because you're among the clueless, don't assume everyone else is.

a newbie here and so self-centered you don't know anything about the other posters here, even the ones on "your side."

"Newbie?"  
ME?  
Nah, son, take a look...class of '05.
I may SEEM like a newbie cuz I refused to spend TIME with the LOSERS like you on THIS board.
Posters on "my side?"
Just WHO the fuck would that be?
YOU, "C.D.L.?"
What's the old saying - "with FRIENDS like these..."  (smh...)

ONLY have 17 reviews?  You must not be reviewing the trannies you see.  Probably a good idea.

OUCH!
Again, with the ZINGERS!
Careful, people, this TROLL don't "mess around," in ANY sense of the term!  

You are apparently totally unaware that GaG, cdl and I are political opposites who fight like cats and dogs on the P&R Board. We agree about almost nothing except that you are a feckless idiot with no game.

... what is this OBSESSION you "losers" have with "GAME?"
Um, hate to break it to you, but you're on a board for, and about, "pros."
By its very definition, that means you have absolutely NO need for game here.
All you need to "play" is "dolla dolla bills, y'all," like "Wu-Tang" once rapped.
If you and your little buddies mistakenly believe you're on some site to learn "pick-up" tips from other "losers" like yourselves, to improve your LAME "game" in the process, you're on the wrong site, brother... (smh...)

No, I don't assume EVERYONE else is, just you..., ASSHOLE.  

It really isn't necessary to keep proving it like this. Everyone already knows you're clueless. You're like the Energizer Bunny of Lame. Please listen to your Uncle John.

Gosh that hurts. ROFL.

"I" "find" "your" "blatant" "abuse" "of" "quotes" "DISCONCERTING".

Get over it.
Thank you.  

I would be agreeing with Derek on ANYTHING here, but he is right and I think most here would agree with him.  You are shown yourself to be self-centered and egotistical to the point that you are not getting near the responsive posts from other members that you did in the beginning when many, some gently and some not so gently, suggested you modify your posting style to make your posts more readable and understandable.  Its clear you're a smart guy, but many smart guys do stupid things that turn people off.  Its a time for some introspection to see if you can't make yourself a better participant here.  If you keep going the way you are, you are headed to becoming "Laffy 2", a guy who mostly has to respond to his own posts because no one else will.  If that's the way you want to be, be my guest.  Some have already put you on ignore, where your posts don't even show up on their screens.  They're just blocked.  

Sad, but it looks like I have to REPEAT myself yet AGAIN - NO ONE gives a FUCK what YOU and your little crew of fellow LOSERS thinks about them.
WHO the fuck do YOU think you are, "Mr. T.E.R.?"
GTFOH, bro!
You, and your little crew of LOSERS wanna "block" me?
Be my guest.  
TRUST me when I say I will BARELY, if ever, NOTICE it.  

longer.  You would think that would be a wakeup call on who the actual "loser" is.  When you are eventually the last one left here who is not a "loser" to youi, you will figure it out, but it will be too late to rehabilitate your reputation.  You have united many veteran posters here who usually argue with each other and almost never agree with you, but they all agree YOU are the loser.  Are you so clueless that you are just going to march yourself off the cliff anyway, despite all the mounting evidence that you are doing everything wrong here?

Do you think the Arch Douche has noticed that he gets virtually no one to agree with him and virtually everyone telling him what a horse's ass he is?
The answer is obviously "no."
He's a lost cause.
Your post reminds me of a few I made to "Rod" back in the day telling him in the nicest possible way to give up his quest to change this board. They all fell on militantly deaf ears.
And where is he today? No one knows or cares.

I have seen dozens of annoying board trolls just like lolo, most of them not quite as dumb, but many of them just as annoying. The good news is, very few of them, LTM&L being the notable exception, have any staying power. They lurk in oblivion for months or even years, have this sudden spate of board boards and then since they have the attention span of a gnat along with the IQ of one they tend to fade back into the woodwork from where they came.

Because of LTM&L, I thought the dumber they are, the LONGER they stay.  I really hope you're right.

Why BOTHER?
You CAN'T argue with the DELUSIONAL, so why even bother.
If you insist on believing that I need the approval of ANYONE on this board to somehow be fulfilled, be my guest.
Must SUCK to be you, bro.
I guess we all must get our "JOLLIES" anywhere and anyhow we can.  (smh...)

...the stupid "reviews-to-years-ratio theory."  Another idiot recently tried that on me on another board (which you always read) and you know what I did?  I used another example - your hero, your idol, the guy you suck up to - GaGambler.  He has exactly ZERO reviews in 15.5+ years.  How's that for a ratio of reviews to years?  Do you think he's also not reviewing the "trannies" he sees?  And as a matter of fact, GaG chimed in on that thread and said that anyone who tries that "number of reviews" argument has to be one of the "newest or stupidest posters."  Since you're not a newbie that makes you, in GaG's eyes, the "stupidest poster" on TER.  Congratulations!

It's going nowhere fast. Too many of assholes chiming in on who's got the bigger dick. It's sad to see so called "grown" men act like wanna be class clowns.....PULL THE PLUG
