Houston lagging Dallas bigtime.

[nebtex1]

When I signed up to eccie I couldn't help but notice the high number of providers and members from the Dallas area ... I initially thought that was just a function of Dallas adopting eccie in greater number earlier and well before the P went down.

However, since the "New Showcase" feature was added I have noticed that the new showcase additions are still dominated by Dallas ... so Dallas is still growing faster then Houston.

Now my impression on the P was that Houston was the busiest area ... was my impression wrong or was Dallas actually busier then Houston on the P?

My impression of Dallas as a hobby town was pretty negative (based on several visits to Dallas between '04 - '06), but I haven't been to Dallas for a couple of years.

I think the old real estate phrase . . . timing, timing, timing . . .

Or was it something else? No, I think it's timing.

call it regional pride, but dallas has nothing on the Houston scene.
our local economy is stronger hence the new talent. Im spoiled since before BT. Still if you are a gentleman and have half decent networking skills, BT was just a speed bump in the road.
Back to the subject, our local ladies are top notch. Go to dallas and take a wrong exit, you'll end uo in Plano...

just my $.02

I agree that Houston has better strip clubs and a better hobby scene (although my Dallas experiences are limited and dated). My point and ? was about the activity of the websites of the old P vs. eccie.

Oh ... and the phase for reale state and especially retail is location, location, location ... but for the hobby I agree that timing ... is the better phrase.

pyro ... you know one of my weaknesses is networking (I am more of a loner and less social ... I guess it the accountant in me) and I am very shy about discussing the hobby face to face (except maybe with a provider or in a strip club type environment), so I find this type of website extremely helpful.

To me it seems Dallas has a better selection of girls.

Sorry, but my reference was to timing after a certain social event in Houston that was attended by uninvited guests. I think the Houston forum has been terribly quiet since that event, and understandably so. I was borrowing from the real estate phrase location, location, location for emphasis (and attempted humor - rimshot).

Dallas isn't better just different.

Old P started in Houston, the tiny e started in Dallas and ferd is right about timing. I blame Bill White, but he is about to get run over by the karma train so it will all work out.

There are a lot of great ladies in Texas.

True Dallas is different. I will tell you why Dallas has more activivity and there are three reasons. First is because the owners are in Dallas and this board started from the Dallas area with a Dallas base just like the P started as a Houston board with a Houston base since Amber was living in Houston when she started the P. Second is because the P was still going and virtually nobody was active on this site in the Houston area due to their loyaltiy to the P and the third is because of the bust of the P social in December. Here is [ame="http://www.eccie.net/showpost.php?p=261&postcount=1 "]the first thread started in the Houston Co-Ed[/ame] back in March 2009. Now the growth is due to the death of the P which has given Eccie critical mass and becasue of that mass, it continues to grow which is a good thing.

Yes, timing is everything in most anything.
