This loyalty stuff is nonsense.
I will post where I am accepted. If I am locked out of threads, I will get tired of the effort and move on.
TBone and Deuce both understand the dynamics of a board require elements of things each of us dislike.
White Knights
Lurkers
Providers
Post Whores
literate
illiterate
All make up the fabric of a board.
The beauty of ASPD was it had all of the above.
The wheels would get wobbly when staff were less than acceptable. But, the train still moved down the track.
When some of you see a train wreck in coed, you are disgusted. A smart board owner sees 145 responses and 1524 views.
That equals lurkers coming on the board and looking at the wreck.
That equals lurkers moving over to the provider ads and checking out the ladies.
That equals business for the ladies smart enough to not participate in the wreck.
A Mod 101 class would do a lot of good for all of the boards.
But, what do I know..............I'm just the F*cking prophet.

Very well said....
Will I support ERAPS? ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!
Will I still be a ppart of ECCIE? ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!
Am I member of TER, BigDoggie, Home2, horndogs? ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!
AS a hobbyist you would be a fool not to use whatever tools are available for research.
Where will I post the most? I'm not sure yet. I have no idea what ERAPS will develop into although I feel as well as hope it will be a lot more Hobbyist friendly than ASPD was over the last few years when it comes to Austin.
To that end their choice of MODS will greatly influence my decision.
Will I pay to become a member of ERAPS? Not if I can post reviews for that membership.
Do I care that they recovered thousands of posts and reviews?
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!
ANY HOBBYIST THAT QUESTIONS THE VALUE OF BEING ABLE TO ACCESS THAT INFORMATION AND DOES NOT PRAISE THE EFFORTS THAT WENT INTO THE RECOVERY OF THAT AS A RESOURCE IS SIMPLY A FUCKING IDIOT IN MY BOOK!
The current administration of ERAPS and former staff of ASPD allowed and even encouraged people to copy as much of that information over here to ECCIE and ECCIE willingly allowed as well as encouraged for it to be posted here....
WHERE WAS ALL THE WHINING ABOUT COPYRIGHTS THEN as well as the worries and concerns about the information......
Does ERAPS have any obligation to former members of ASPD?
If you don't want to be a member of ERAPS then log in, PM a Mod and ask for your handle to be removed and I am sure they will oblige you.
But the information there belonged to the owner of ASPD and how it is handled by her Estate is between her Estate and ERAPS and of no concern to any of us.
Personally... I'm grateful I can simply log in and get back to business.
Is ECCIE competition for ERAPS or vice versa?
Hell No! Not when I can post reviews to both sites and have free membership! I might have to make a modification here and there and rewrite things a bit to favor each site but well worth it....
ECCIE gratiously provided us BCD access for a short period and will allow us to continue that through reviewing....
Maybe someone should propose ERAPS make a similar gesture to those ASPD Members that are now ECCIE Members should they want to continue there as well.
I already suggested it myself but hey... as one that whispers they may not hear my voice!
All the information on Eccie is current..... It covers the last 6 weeks pretty well..... Everything on ERAPS is dated to the end of the year but covers the last 10 years pretty well.....
Personally... At the moment... I need both!
It doesn't have to be THEM OR US.... or THEM VS US.....
It can be if you want it too.....
But I sure as hell hope not.....
ERAPS does have one thing that ECCIE no longer has that interests me! Wicked Milf is still a registered member over there so I can start up with her again! She ran away from here!
Aspd survived. It's amazing.

. Are they going with a pure "pay to play" model now?
