Once upon a time...........

[TheRealJohnnyRingo]

When I first started on boards like this, I suppose ever since there were boards like this, we used to talk about pussy. That's it. Now you motherfucking juvenile idiots want to talk about each other. Seriously? Each and every time you do you continue to humiliate yourselves and digress to some pre or post pubescent time in your life that was obviously unpleasant. Ok, I get it. I'll back off and give you fellas ample room to embarrass yourselves. As for me? Well I, and others like me will seldomly log in, rarely post, and continue to enjoy quality p4p ladies that are simply interested in doing their thing and being paid for it. So congratulations fellas, you have the floor with my utmost appreciation for your continued efforts to provide entertainment. Collectively you children have destroyed the boards , and in particularly this board, far removed from it's initial purpose. I used to have great disdain for the "back in the day " speeches; not anymore. Jesus Christ I can't believe how quickly you "everybody gets a trophy" generation children have managed to tear down this house. Who's to blame? Well certainly not you because you don't take responsibility for shit; I, and other like minded guys like me have to own the demise of this playground. We should have run your asses off long ago. Unfortunately we're tardy, you're dug in like infectious ticks and now there's no getting rid of you. So to you boys I bid farewell because this is obviously your place now and those of us that built it, together, will simply hang back and enjoy our fun absent your juvenile bravado. Thanks for the entertainment and you're welcome for the platform on which it was built.

Welcome to the internet

[L.A.]

In 7 years your contribution has been 239 posts and a grand total of ZERO reviews.
So basically you post like once every 10-12 days and none of them are reviews.
How is your opinion of this board even relevant when you've done so little to contribute?

And yet its still a valid comment.

Very True.

It does not matter if a long time member has no reviews and little posts. There are many on here from the beginning of ECCIE with No posts. They're smart.

Many have their reasons to not post.

Look at the current situation of the "Flavor of the Week Poster/Hooker Board Social Justice Warrior"

Beams with Pride at his reviews as if they were trophies. Feels the "attaboys" from his so called peers make him famous on a Provider Review Board yet is butthurt when called out and cries to the masses thinking that those on the internet will care.

Every Generation of Hobbiests that passes thru this site will have a few in each city. They eventually fade away when a new guy arrives. Some more savvy, some less.

All in all.....Fucktardery never goes away, it merely evolves, or de-evolves depending on how you perceive.

Some find it entertaining, some find it irritating.

In the big scheme of it all, when we log off, no one cares.

It absolutely does matter, especially if the long time member creates a thread about how bad it is now.
I'm not necessarily debating whether members should post or review or even be very active. Some never post and that's their right. But on an information exchange forum if you don't post and you don't review you really don't contribute to the site. If you don't contribute to the site why would anybody value your opinion about the state of the board?

Of course these are all just opinions and we're free to see things the way we see them. My opinion is if you don't contribute you have no right to create a thread bitching about how bad it is no matter how long you're been a member. That's just how I see it.

Shit...

This has been going on almost as long as I have been on the boards, which goes back to at least 2002. On ASPD I had white knights literally try to stalk me because I asked, in sincerity, if anyone else found a particular ad disturbing because it certainly seemed to be written by someone in crisis.

Her "friends" were concerned enough to come after me, but not get her help. She ended up hospitalized 2 months later (and no I will not say who).

Read the reviews. They are like bad Penthouse Letters half the time with the guys all swinging 8' dicks and the girls cumming a dozen times. The whole thing has consistently been about proving manhood, and the recent crap is no different than it was 10 years ago. And just like 10 years ago there are talkers and there are doers and the talkers seem to talk an awful lot, but that's all they ever do.

Because amount of reviews have no relation to the state of the board? Uh duh.

And oh boy, valuing opinion based on review contribution... Welp, enjoy your Abe threads!

Uh duh I didn't say the amount of reviews. I said contribute to the board.

AND I didn't say I do value opinion based on review count. I said I don't value opinion's for those that don't contribute. It's not the same thing.

And I really couldn't care less about ANY of the dudes that post on here but at least Abe provides information about escorts which can help me make a decision on somebody to see which is more than the OP does. You'll come back with some stupid comment like normal but I'll let you have it and not respond...knock yourself out.

Heh, almost like you defined contributions in your first post by number of posts and reviews.

[oldbutstillgoing]

LA, I do concede and agree with the point that to be able to apply value to a posters comments, one must have enough materiel to properly evaluate the reliability. Very true.

That said, just because a member posts very seldom, it does not mean their posts have no value. Especially when it is true and valid, like the OP. In fact, an observation from a long time member, who has not been dragged in to the mire we have for a board is especially valuable as it provides a long term view from a more impartial viewpoint. Don't have to agree, but his post is no less valid because he posts very little.

When I was raised, I was taught to listen to your elders. Age brings many of them wisdom you can learn from. Of course, a lot of them are full of crap too. But learning to filter out the crap from the wisdom is one of lifes many lessons some learn and others don't.
