Not sure if they'll leave this up, but BP adult section goes down.  Check it out yourself.  I can only imagine this will drive prices up.  Less supply, but same demand

Hopefully folks saved ads on their hard drives.

Before BP, alot of ladies used CL to advertise. I am sure that the ladies who used BP will find another spot to advertise themselves.  

Prices won't go down. There are plenty of other sites to advertise on that will just pick up traffic. No reason for girls to ask for lower rates.  Wishful thinking for some I imagine.

I think people will adjust accordingly and check on this website. And lets not forget social media advertising....Instagram hoes are not all just posters of raunchy pictures, some are really play for pay, lol.  

to help spread the word on where some of these ladies should take their advertising.  

I am sure they will figure it out as we have when we first started. The wonderful world of google, or talking to a fellow girlfriend in the business. Things are much easier to find today than they were years ago.  I wouldn't worry too much about the new talent not finding their way.

never underestimate people doing a google search. I first heard about BP and craigslist 17 years ago in grade school because of TV.....so I figured it was all LE/stings by 2000. Hell, google lead me to this website TER 6-7 yrs ago to let me know BP wasn't all LE as I figured anything talked/known about was only a way to catch people.  

that's very true Sidney  

Looks like some have moved to the BP "women seeking men" forum.

I was already nestled into the DMV at the time and luckily had started using a few different sites, but when stuff like this happens it is a big hit for a lot of ladies. I'm sure there are females going crazy right now trying to figure out where they will post in the morning and I really feel for them. I use a few different sites, but even when I went to look I said, and I quote, "f**********ck" so I can only imagine what the ladies that ONLY use bp are feeling. Not sure how I'd be of any help, but feel free to reach out if you need me. I'm fairly new, but I can think of two different boards available for providers even if you do not have reviews. It's not the end of the world.

The prosecutor in California has no clue on the damage she is doing to the sisters.  The site will be missed it was one of the few escort sites that you can use on the smart phone without having to worry about the battery draining out. People check the site out before going to bed at night, when they get up, and before they leave for work.  There will be a economic impact with lower hotel bookings and air travel.

It is true. People check sites pretty often. I'm just trying to figure out how to make MY site their go to when interested in boobie booking lol. Never know. I doubt it will have that much of an impact on air and hotel. As far as im concerned this will weed out alot of bad apples coming into hotels and messing it up for others. You know, the fake picture, smoking in the room, robbing clients, naked up the hall girls. Good riddance.

this site going down can mean lots of different things.. short term the BP girls pockets will be hit hard and strip clubs may be up in sales. long term another site will go up but will it be the same? end of an era indeed

as the majority of advertisers will revert back to street walking.

With BP under fire, be prepared to see the same for the more family oriented forms of SM, to clean house too.

Despite what we may think here on TER, but we are in the minority. There are far more guys spending money, especially BP type money who do not do their research or really know much at all about this world.Thus, I don't think that the problem is having a place to advertise, it is more of having a place to advertise where guys will know to go look. BP had made it really easy for awhile, for the guys who were not as educated to simply find a selection of ladies.

Available for that to happen.

Especially in Baltimore area.  Some will use bp for the day and street walking for night.  Every one does not use the internet.  Surprisingly the guys are paying bp rates of $200 hour for attractive bp providers doing street walking.

I pretty much stopped using it for the DC/NoVa area forever ago but used it a lot touring esp small(er) markets.
Guys will go to the dating or therapeutic sections or turn to their regulars or boards like this one more.

Some of the low end bp providers will end breaking into houses and doing shoplifting to survive imho. We could see armed robberies pick up.  The poor will strike back big-time imho. They are going to very upset that bp is being taken away from them.

Armed robberies pick up??? Be real

That will be shut down too.  There will be no "loopholes" for BP.

One of those sections is the dating section. You will notice prices are not listed. I saw a few ads were removed.

Look at this clown.

Why do black pimps wear white women hair dews?

So why do they ?

The sites you listed are still functional. I hear from many providers that eros is too expensive ($150/post) and cityvibe never gets much traffic. I do feel as adultsearch is still solid but not as widely used as years past.  

LMAO!!! What!?!?! That is one of the more out of left field comments I have heard thus far. You do realize that many "low bp providers" have regular jobs, right? Granted some do not but that does not mean by default they are dormant criminals. If anything these women are victims. Its unsettling but I know many bp providers who have been robbed by assholes that make it difficult for folks like you or I.
