It seems like the board is slowly dying.. Where is EVERYONE?!?

[holmes50]

I’m on here for one reason......as with anything else we must take the good with the bad. Not much good on this board imho these days. The outing that took place earlier this year sealed it with me. Several will forever stay on my ignore list. The board going offline started the orbits going out of whack.......been downhill ever since.

I agree that Twitter is fun interaction (with a pseudonym for those of us on the down-low).
I also agree that Seeking Arrangement is entertaining for guys with time and curiosity...

Me too.. I have a profile but I rarely post bc I'm just not that interesting. LOL

You would be surprised how many people are on Twitter. Lol you actually can meet some nice people that don't normally get on these boards because of all the drama and what not.

With Twitter It kind of gives you a chance, To meet real people... When I say meet real people I mean see the other side of them not on these boards that they portray.



I have met wonderful people on both sides.

Good morning blessings to everyone.

To many judgmental people here. Professionalism and kindness go a long way. ASPD was way better. Providers go crazy when their price points are not met. Keri, you’re from back in the day and that is why you see it and feel the way you do.

Before the end, before and after the shutdown, it was like trying to give CPR to keep someone alive...There were only a handful of us ladies rallying around to not let it go dead. Ms. Annie, Myself and 1 or 2 others constantly posted to keep it from dying a slow death. Fast forward to now, the boards are dead....@ least here in NOLA....
No longer a fun place to come to release a little stress of everyday life...Boring!!

M.M.

As someone who never got to be a part of the eccie community (at least for NOLA/BR), I really am not sure what I think about everything that has been said. After all, any statement about the current state will not consider what it used to be like in the "hey day" which everyone on here has already mentioned. But as a newer user who tends to not be on here that much, I think I may have a unique perspective (I hope).


I think that one of the main reasons is simply due to the way in which the nature of what eccie centers around is being dealt with by society. We can obviously see this within national legislation as well as it pertains to more local aspects such as the busts and raids (like in EBR and LP recently). As such, this creates an environment where for many hobbyist/potential clients, the risk-benefit analysis really isn't where it needs to be to where they are interested in taking part in this community. I really can't blame them though, the developments really make it where one has to be reluctant simply due to all the BS that is happening. Thus on that side, the primary value of eccie is lowered to where it doesn't make sense which in turn impacts the quality of discussions (due to less perspectives).


I personally can not speak from the side of the providers (since I am not one), but I think this also impacts them as well. That is since the very real fear of what may happen as seen within such events and lack of other avenues perhaps makes it to where it is less of a viable option vs. the past. Although I am not certain of this and I would like to see what providers think about that. Regardless, I think this makes it where potential women are less likely to want to be providers due to risk-rewards.


Additionally, I wonder how much of this stems from forums being a dying format due to the emergence of twitter, facebook, snapchat, and so on.


Regardless, I do think that the deteriorating nature of the forums really is a bad thing for everyone involved. Most obviously it is negative to providers and clients, but I think it is really bad from the perspective of someone who loves decent conversations. After all, there are less unique voices on eccie who can provide their own special input in the wide variety of topics discussed.


Anyway, I am interested to see what others think about what I have to say.

The board is aging and showing it. There is very little new blood on either side of the ledger.

Time was there was a steady flow of new tail advertising on this site with a regular supply of new johns following, or at least a lot of interest from the regulars. Not so much anymore.

It seems like girls are getting out of the game and the men are either naturally slowing down or getting more risk averse as they get older.
The question is where are the new girls and guys going, assuming there are any. Maybe the SB sites. I can't fathom an industry as old as time would ever die off.

[lisa.lisa0302]

The talkative, cool, interacting bunch is gone and moved on...

Nothing to do with laws...geez..

I dont see that many Nola ladies, on twitter..so there goes that..

Im saying...


If a house is dirty, its dirty...period...no one thousand reasons why...its dirty...

WE ALL KNOW WHY


And nobody wants to really say why...

So its gonna be tumbleweeds city here.
