Escort Overview

Post by Cashreg. »

The BGAFD- like a well-tooled up chippy minus the wood.
If your purely a public service site or run along commercial
lines, your cross-selling leaves a lot to be desired.
Don't moan about escort girls clogging up your Forum,
get some tie-ups with the Agencies on your Links page . You can
always put the usual disclaimers in re. validity of photos etc.
etc.
See your punters response to the issue as a positive .
It's when we stop posting that you ought to worry !!

I strongly disagree. There's enough lame, misleading (not to say criminal) spam around without adding to it. This is not the place. A quick search finds about 1300 escort related message boards. They are largely the same, an ugly repetitious mess of postings as often as not from spammers, scammers and bots.
There's no reason to turn this board into yet another such futility and every reason to avoid it. Despite your myopia as to bgafd's intentions it's clearly a hobbyists' site where commercially motivated postings are welcome precisely to the extent that they yield new (and correct) information.
The views of the site maintainers have been quite clearly
stated and it's their call. Respect them.
And by the way, I'd definitely advise anyone tempted by
webvertising for working girls to check them out at punternet and similar sites. There are tales aplenty of punters being mugged after making appointments from websites and other similar scams. And there are plenty of "houses" with excellent reps. You will not be able to tell the difference just by looking at a post on a message board!

Precisely - I would just add that the site is not about escorts it is about appearances in adult videos/films. Therefore posts about escorts are irrelevant, just as much personal information about models would be. These topics are connected. We do not want to be a stalkers' information bureau and some stalkers spread scurrilous rumours about their victims - see the connection?

While I hope visitors enjoy the site for what it is and do carry on posting (I believe most do and will), if they stop, we certainly won't worry - this is a free site built and maintained solely out of our enthusiasm for the subject - we make nothing from it and don't intend to. I understand that can be a quite difficult concept to take in in this day and age...

It IS possible to be altruistic AND make some money at the same
time you know.
It might also make for a more rounded site, but that clearly
ain't going to happen here.

So? The argument is about whether to clog up the site with
useless spam or not, not some high-falutin philosophical
issue.

Do you perhaps have an interest you should declare?

If you want a 'more rounded site', whatever that means, why don't you start your own? In the meantime I suggest this near-troll should be ignored.
