Yep.  Looks like it's already happened here in Arkansas.  Sure will miss the easy research, fun reading, and fake pics.

I wonder what the new "words" will be for the new "adult" section: massage, rub-down, improve circulation, orthopedic certified, reflexology, yoga instructor for deep relaxation, 60-minute workout, 8" acupuncture needles.........

My primary resource is TER and EROS anyway, so this isn't that big of a deal.  Still, I wish America wasn't so sexually paranoid--really screwed up.  There are more animal shelters than there are for battered women.

Good riddance... but it's going to hurt a lot of good folks

For those who are interested please take a read of my comments in the "general discussion forum."  (link below)

Something I forgot to mention over there was that the whole reason CL originally opened the Erotic forum was to keep escorts ads out of the other forums so that people looking to buy a lawnmower didn't have to wade through out of context ads.  Killing the ES section is just going to cause stealth ads to crop up everywhere.

I think it's going to impact the TS community much harder than the GG world.  Many TS girls are not very tech savvy and CL provided them with an easy way to advertise.  Unfortunately that ease is what drew the problem people and ultimately ruined it for everyone.

I think a lot of TS girls are going to end up working the streets again as a result of this.

I think it's sad that during the worst economy in a lifetime that this has to happen.  The only thing keeping many girls above water in this economy - and perhaps even keeping some from suicide was their ability to earn a living by escorting.  

I know girls who's only way to pay their rent was an occasional date with a gentleman who helped them out a little.

It's just too bad a few bad apples runied it for everyone.

Sigh,
TS Jamie
