Personally, I would prefer they were not mixed in. This forum I believe is just for AMPs, there is another forum for independents/encounters,

I have not reached the level of seeing an independent or even visiting ampville. I stick with subamps due to have significant other, potential legal and other related items just can't risk at this time in my life. Can maybe get away with "hey, I just went in for a massage" to a legit place
I occasionally glance at some of the ampville reviews, but typically just looking for the subamps. Including all the independents would seem to clutter these up.
