Is ECCIE in the crosshairs?

Not only that, but one of the best forms of advertising is word of mouth. And contrary to popular belief, a lady doesn't have to look the part of a "hooker" to attract clients in person...

Online clients are hobbyists, and most of my clientele are travelling businessmen or Lovers I've met in the real world doing real world things.

Sure seems odd for someone who gets all their business elsewhere to average three posts a day.

Averaged over nearly 5 years...and I do not see at all where I typed " I get all my business elsewhere."
But I digress, with all the trolling and random digging (wink wink, nudge nudge ) I just may refrain from posting as I probably should have done in this instance. IMO, Im far from a post whore. Hell, since Ive been back I don't post as many ads, I guess you didn't notice thaaat

**In addition, another provider also stated there are other venues if ECCIE were to go down etc...did you forget to check her stats as well, or am I the "Lucky One" drawn out a hat?

Now THAT seems odd to me...

...thanks for reading my stats though! I appreciate my post simply stating there are various other venues to advertise inspired and motivated you to check up on my statistics

Have an awesome rest of your weekend and stay warm.

This is true in all of Texas, OKC, Tulsa, Kansas City and just a few other cities but go to Denver, go to California, go to Ohio, Pittsburgh, PA, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Columbus, Cleveland and the list goes on and on. Go to the Eccie board in these cities and you will be surprised cause there is no recent activity, no recent provider reviews postings or provider ads. Go to Portland, go to Seattle and see how far Eccie will get you there. In this neck of the woods the Eccie board is just wasted band width. I lurk on one or two of the more trusted forums and websites for those cities just to see who is available what new talent is there and who are the movers & shakers are in that specific city.
The ECCIE SW Region of the US is like a smorgasbord of information that you wont find anywhere else. The indepth information one can research and find with a couple of keystrokes is mind boggeling...Some of these guys go indepth with their review of a lady and might mention information they don't want publicized in the open forums and we have to resppect their privacy

If Eccie were to die tonight I feel confident by the end of the week Shep.03 or Daaaaman would have a mirror image of this site designed and built up and ready to go online within 7 days.

As a provider, there are still plenty of other advertising venues to chose from if ECCIE went down.

And of course, wherever the escorts are, the hobbyists will soon follow.

bingo

I've had a few pms regarding my post all I can do is share the feedback from my client base and the other review sites that I know of.....and I know I'm fairly new here and dont know much but I am pretty good at research and gathering info from my client base.

The other sites I know of for reviews are:

P411
Date check
Bestgfe.com
TER
Theotherboard.com
GFEmonkey
Naughty reviews.com


I'm sure there are tons of others. Many boards are region-specific. The feedback I've gotten from my 90% of my many clients is that they may use ECCIE for a peek at reviews but most used TER and p411 ...especially the travelers. TER is more respected nationwide, p411 doesn't have reviews but a good source for picking high end girls and the drama and embellished reviews on ECCIE turn many men to other sites to research.

To be honest, I think the ECCIE reviews are more valuable than TER reviews. Firstly, because you actually get to see more postings in chat, ml, coed to form enough of an opinion to know if the reviewer is bullshitting or not.

Also, I don't know if they still do it, but TER was allowing providers to "buy" reviews at one point. ECCIE does have it's fair share of bullshit, however, at least this site is set up relatively ideally to prevent certain acts. Unfortunately, not much can be done about collusion.

I like to be pretty well informed about the provider's prior to pulling the trigger. ECCIE provides much more info than just reviews. Plus, I think it's a bit more user friendly.

Of course when the hobbyist's/provider's voices are heard it has it's pitfalls as well as advantages. But, overall, I think ECCIE's a great tool for the hobby.

This is basically already Shep's site, just ask him and his clique. They have the uncanny ability and power to make people, especially the guys, to think what they want them to think and without question accept their opinion as fact. Even tho I am sure they try, the only thing that cannot do is control who gets to be a member of the site (at least not yet). To go along with what Sophia is talking about, look at the posts of him and his clique members and you will see the start of much of the drama and the embellished ad reviews for the newbies Shep does which he does not deny.

The good thing for them is that when/if the site goes done in a bust, then they are not the ones that are going to go down.

It's just df986 reiterating his usual twaddle, making sure that everyone knows he suffers from a persecution complex.
What a maroon!!!

I was just giving him shit in his latest iteration of himself because he does talk too much and I also don't like him because he will promote gals who he likes even though they may have issues that would be a concern to other hobbyists. Rather than warn his bros, he would throw them under the bus if it was in his best interest.... much like he did with a certain studio he got too friendly with until they turned on him.

I don't get on here very often any more. Don't need to and don't like a lot of what I read. But then again, there's really not anything new to talk about except who is fucking up, who is reliable, and who is new.

Moving the site (which I believe they did) is only part. They have to move the domain name; the domain name is a common way the govt shuts down sites - they have jurisdiction over ".com", ".net", ".org", etc.

What other websites (such as torrent file sharing sites) have done are to move to domain names such as ".to", (Tonga) which is outside of the us and out of the feds' hands.

Of course, once the feds decide to go after a website, they will probably succeed by other means - for example, going after the advertisers or following the money. So, the best thing is for the website to avoid being a target and eliminate the common excuses the feds go after: (I will avoid mentioning them - but it is part of the "nuclear rules" of the website). Eccie seems to pay attention to that.
