A long time VIP member here and went to renew.  Everything is now in Euros, so a one year membership is over $240.  That is beyond outrageous and consequently I am searching for an alternative source of quality information.  Any suggestions?

write reviews

Or submit problem reports ... lots of them.

"if your looking to save 240.00 you
probably shouldnt be in the hobby anyway"

-- that is a an outrageous statement.

This is the main reason that most are not renewing.... hence why I am not longer VIP...

give up one trip per year to a mediocre provider thus saving
your 240.00. And by the way if your looking to save 240.00 you
probably shouldnt be in the hobby anyway.....02

+1...if a mere $240 deters you from getting vital info, you are clearly in the minor leagues, and no offense meant.  Most friends cost more than that for a visit.  To me it is a minor investment for safety and reality re: our pleasures.

I submit them and, more often than not, no action is ever taken. I have submitted 3 recently: one was approved and I got two days VIP; another was approved and I got zero days VIP ...wtf? The third has been "new" for over a week.

Local mod offered to help, and I believe sent me a PM. But, as I do not have VIP now, can't get the PM.

And don't tell me to pay up or write reviews--if the stated deal is that problem reports gain you the days, ter ought to stick to it.

Gee I didn't know there was a minor league... thanks for the info...

I agree.. and if you stay with UTR established providers there is no need...

Writing reviews is easier said than done when the review nazis refuse to approve reviews for the most arbitrary of reasons...

I submitted an incredibly detailed review that wasn't approved for a lack of information concerning the NON-physical interactions between me and the provider?

Whatever that means...

This after I discussed our small talk, and the way she made me feel emotionally...LMAO

More accurate is review troglodytes. Nazis were evil and smart. These guys are most definitely not smart.

My problem report that I mentioned above as being "new" forever was finally disapproved--no reason, no feedback.

Here is link to reviews:
http://www.theeroticreview.com/reviews/show.asp?id=162614

Review I cited mentioned almost no details but rating was a 10; seemed clear from lack of detail that the requisites for a 10 were nonexistent.

What is bringing this site down is the damned greedy imbecilic Ditchmen or whoever runs it. I find myself using it less and less, because it is usually a waste of time--becoming the new eros.

My experience has been that, while they do take considerable time to approve problem reports (over a week sometimes), they eventually always do get approved and I rack up extra VIP days like frequent flyer miles!

Totally agree. I don't want READ the stuff they say they want now, much less WRITE it or invent it myself. I'm taking one last crack at a submittal, then I'll just move on to the regional boards. A review site is only as good as the reviews it contains!
