Info for what it's worth.

[hawkone]

I quietly play in Ms and Al mostly. Last month there were three major LE operations in MS that targeted sex trafficking. A very reliable associate of mine relayed some information to me. We all know sites like this are watched and some players are not players. Also it is apparent some posters are pushers (pimps) and are sex trafficking offenders. I feel that what a person wants to do with their bodies is their right. But when some guy (or gurl) uses coercion of any type to force actions that benefit the person doing the forcing, they should be caught, tried, and hung. Those of us in this hobby for entertainment as admirers or workers need to be watchful and continue to call out those we suspect of being part of the dark side. I was surprised at some of the nicknames known. This is just my opinion and for information.

Hey Hawkone! Hope all is well. Unfortunately this is true and it can only be dodged by being super careful

LE monitors this site very closely I have actually juggled the thought that it has likely been under control of le since it went down then came back up. I think there is a very good chance that every post made since this site came back will end up being used against both providers and gents at some point in the future. I just have a feeling none of it is based on any personal knowledge of anything. Most of the old time posters never came back and do not post at all. I wish I had not. It took me some time to totally distance myself from this site but I quit writing reviews some time back and likely never will again. I have been clear for some time now I think everyone should switch sites to one that is hosted off American soil. I hope I am wrong but I just have a sneaking suspension based off of the rules imposed after the shutdown and the refusal of the owners to move the site to an overseas host. It would be so easy to do that yet its never been done and all the rules imposed seem to be ones that le would have to implement in order to use the site to entrap people and make the charges stick without cause for them to be overturned in court. I still come here and read but I stopped posting my fantasies about meeting women on here out of fear that le might think they were based on reality and that I was engaging in illegal activity. I can do without that in my life based off fantasies I made up that never actually took place. I can do my creative writing elsewhere and not have fear of it being taken seriously or even possibly used to charge me with something I never actually did.

I have been paying attention to local le and they have been very active lately regarding escorts. I would suggest everyone be careful

BassCat, my information says that LE is not interested in established independent ladies having private encounters with admirers (it may evolve to that). They have their hands full with sex trafficking and are using this to id pimps. You and I both know how to spot them. A reviewer just pops up, does one glowing review on a STGs lady know one else has reviewed or a reviewer is a White Knight and when you (I) finally meet her she is no where close to what the review says. Everything about that seems sketchy and sets off bells to me. I decided long ago not to make a opposing review because how you get beat up on here.

Basscat, the link above will inform you that the Servers ARE hosted overseas.

The Servers HAVE BEEN for a significant period of time.

The link above is the result of a simple Google Search.

The Owners made the changes due to changes in Texas Law (Where most of the Owners reside).

The changes to the Guidelines were made as the result of a legal review of the new Texas Laws and how to keep the web site up and not attract undue attention.

Other Websites may have also had a legal review of the new Texas Laws and decided that they can withstand or don't care about the attention their Website attracts.

That information has not been shared with me.

So legally there is no reason for the constraints imposed that make this site basically useless for the hobby? Its a conscious choice to not offer ladies the ability to post ads? Ads are the most important aspect of a hobby site imho. I have all but stopped using this site as have countless friends who I have known in the hobby for decades due to its lack of usefulness in making the hobby easier and more safe. I wish they would bring back ads and alerts the two things that a hobby site really needs to be even the least bit useful.

I still come check to see whats new here every now and then but dont think I will ever participate here in any real fashion due to the lack of relevance compared to less restrictive sites that offer ads alerts and are much more helpful for hobby purpose.

Basscat, you've said you own your own business, and Eccie is the Owner's business.
You can and do run your own business in your own way.
The Eccie Owner's run their business in a manner that they feel is appropriate for them.

All businesses do a risk analysis on a number of topics.
As the result of the analysis of the Texas Laws, the Eccie Owners made their decision.

Should you not be happy with the manner in which Eccie is being run, or you no longer see any benefit from being a Member.
Please do not hesitate to forward a request to disable your account.

Of course, you could just pony up the money and develop your own board and determine the best business model for your own board.

[BassCat]

I do own my own business and run it as I see fit. That said I run it in line with the business that I do. It would be similar to owning a car lot but not advertising cars for sale or being a relator and not allowing listings to be posted to the MLS.

I have no interest in owning or having any part in running a whore board. Its not something that interest me at all one because its illegal and two its an ugly business imho. As much as I enjoy the hobby I really want no part in promoting it.

This board was my favorite since the demise of aspd at least until the fosta/sesta laws. Unfortunately since then it has become significantly less useful for my purposes but there are other boards with strong followings that still allow ads reviews alerts along with everything else that makes a hooker board useful. I will stay active on those boards and basically lurk here if thats alright with management. If its not then you are free to do what you must in regards to my account.

I would like to continue to come here and poke my head in but I don't see myself participating any longer other than in coed. There is just something funny about this place since the change. It took me awhile to really grasp what was going on but once I did it was clear to me. Hence no more creative writing for me.

I hope my suspicions are wrong and I wish this place continued success. I have a lot of friends here and feel as though I owe this site a great deal for all the help its giving me over the years. I have no ill will against this site or any of you who help run it.

I, for 1, LOVE Basscat's input. Noone else on here is more experienced in the hobby as him. Just saying

[aNameinGulfport]

The rules are the rules. I can live with the rules because I understand the need to develop firm guidelines with little or no grey area that won't expand too much over time. Do I wish for x or y, sure. But I don't continue to whine over the loss of the same.
