Whats wrong with ads?? I have never visited the DC board to discuss the art of sonnets with dudes. I prefer more ads from the ladies while visiting this board,and less unmanly complaining.
Guys looking for circle jerks, the line forms to the left.

I've only noticed this since we switched back to this format (after much b&m'ing about the other format).  Am I just recalling the board differently?  I feel like now it's just constant ads and very little else.

Check the SF board!

nothing wrong w/ads. I like 'em.
the sonnets w/dudes- too funny.
the part about the circle jerk guys- well, I'm not part of THAT line LOL

I think part of the problem is the initial poor response to the new TER faormat. Folks stopped posting, except the provider ads, to some degree.

Regardless, we're here to find and contact provider. Ads would be, ummm, useful for that. No?

True but I also find specific safety related posts to be useful. Some of the off topic debates can be fun too.

Bring it on!
The more lovely ladies adorning these pages the better!

Think about it this way, I have yet to notice a rip off ad placed here.
They would be exposed far to quickly to gain much.

Plus its great to see who is in town and where. Even alot of our local ladies like to hop from town to town
so its great to see a weekly update.

Simple fact is, as long as TER gains in popularity, these things will only increase.

Perhaps I should have expanded upon my initial post.  I agree, the ads are nice as window shopping, but it's almost exclusively one-sided.  I liked when there was actual commentary on the ladies and discussions about the agencies from other hobbyists, and I feel like there use to be more of that.  I know that if I want commentary I can read the reviews, however I find that the reviews are normally "Dear Penthouse.." and the commentary on the boards from hobbyists tends to be more dialed down and less "fluffed" than in the reviews.  

Now I feel like the board is ad, ad, ad, ad, ad, ad, click to go to page 2, ad, ad, something of substance that I'm interested, ad, ad, ad, click to page 3, etc.

Anyway, it's not going to stop me from coming to the boards, just expressing one persons opinion.
