even if eccie is dead in a city that you are going to, still post an ad.
i live in maryland and eccie isn't really used here, but the iso from guys from cities where its very popular go unanswered. it doesnt cost you anything, just a few moments of time - so i would still post the ad.
you might as well sign up for date check, too. its also free and its low to no maintenance. its more popular on the east coast and a few random mid west cities, but... there are always men traveling that use that site. so, it cant hurt.
