Whole point in the beginning was, if everyone wasn't penny pinching so hot and heavy, as evidenced by the gazillion requests we get for a special rate, and they actually paid for Premium access, then there might not be such a need for paid advertising in order to run the site as best they can and considering how many folks are participating, browsing, and reading those reviews as if they were the holy grail of each lady's entire being.

Heh. Penny pinching, huh? So, spending one's own money in a way that benefit's the earner of said money is 'penny pinching'? Got it.
While reviews don't 'cost' the writer anything, him paying for the encounter costs whatever the lady's rate was, plus overhead. For the privilege of writing a FREE review, a guy may have spent:
$250 on session
$50-80 on a room if he hosted.
Maybe he bought his own condoms. $3-5.
Or, maybe he didn't host and drove an hour one way to the appointment. Could've cost him a quarter tank of gas. $15 or so.
For the sake of argument, let's say he only spent the $250. That's still $250 spent for the PRIVILEGE of writing a 'free' review.
Or, I could take that $250 and ONE TIME, pay for lifetime of premium access.
If I ever paid for PA, my review writing days are DONE. If 50,000 other guys did the exact same thing, you know what happens to this board? It would turn into SHIT. It would get mindlessly boring, as recycled topics would be triple recycled. With minimum review reading and banter, the board would its purpose (it's an ESCORT REVIEW BOARD, after all).
Reviews make for a lot of reading on this board, along with forum topics as well. What makes this board better than many others is not only the user friendly design, but the fact that it has a NICE BALANCE OF BOTH reviews and forum interaction.
If one side dipped too much, the board would lose its luster. It doesn't need EVERYONE with paid PA not writing reviews. It'd be like living in a world where everyone's a farmer. I mean, who's building the houses, running restaurants, etc.
I would argue that the REAL problem may be those that not only don't pay for PA, but never write reviews either. They're called lurkers.
