What is this site to you? What is it to the owners? What brings people to it?

As with any Internet forum, it's ultimately a function of the community that uses it for myriad reasons of there own and your welcome as always to add your personality to the mix for whatever you're own reasons are. I'm sure you've seen different forum cultures just within this site in other geographic areas as I have. In some, ladies are more active in coed than others. Some ad forums are very active an others aren't.

And you sure are a sweet talker... In one post you've affectionately refered to the fine ladies here as 'whores', 'hookers' and my favorite.... "Ladies doing this now that are participating are at a low point in their lives."

You're painting with a very broad, and insulting, brush that makes me wonder how you have time or a free hand to type as much as you do while simultaneously patting yourself on the back?

This post has an aire of misplaced self importance claiming to speak for the site and it's users... When in fact it is simply your experience and observations.

Not true.

#27 - ECCIE policy regarding the discussion of competing websites is intended to exhibit a straight-forward and simple approach. We do not disallow mention of other sites here at ECCIE, however we ask that you limit those discussions to the "Other Hobby Sites" thread located in the Member Suggestions and Feedback forum. This is the area that we have designated as being an appropriate outlet for these types of discussions. Posts of this nature made in other forums throughout the board will be merged into this location. If you find these types of posts in your local forums, please use the RTM function to report them to staff.

If you're going to base an argument on the published rules, at least know what you're talking about...because I always do...

Sure, bury the discussion where it will never be found or read.

Are you refuting the hypothesis that this site is more about revenue than information exchange?

You don't see AT&T store employees referring people to the Sprint stored down the street for more information...

True. But Whispers's premise is it's all about information exchange, right? Or is it?

[Wakeup]

You missed the analogy...

The AT&T store is ALL about the money, nothing else, hence why you won't ever see an employee refer you to another competitor store. Here, you are absolutely free to refer to helpful information on another site, you just need to do it in another forum.

What's funny is the actual enforcement, or lack thereof, of that guideline. Can you give me a link to show when you last saw that guideline enforced?

P.S.- You've completely misinterpreted Whisper's premise...

This site does make the $ off the men, and im pretty damn sure there are WAYYY more men than women on here... but if you took EVERY girl off Eccie... how many would continue to frequent the site? Who would u review? Bp girls? P411 girls... But without the Eccie girls, i think this site would loose alot of the men. Yes men come on here to talk about politics and strippers and such, but im pretty sure most come for the women. So yes this board is for the men.... but without the women... it would be a little less enteraining right?

[canyonman]

Seems to me Whispers this would have done better in the National forum....

I didn't bother reading everyone else's input...
I don't read many other cities forums and rarely go to read the main discussion forum either... But from what I can tell, each city has their own personality, the way it should be to fit the general area... Mods are from their own area on purpose don't you think?( will be sorry I asked a question) Mods are left some leeway in some areas instead of using a straight across the board enforcement... ThreADs are a perfect example... From St.Chistopher himself... http://eccie.net/showthread.php?t=320362...

I feel SA was doing just fine before the onslaught of post from outside cities that truly don't know our own little community....

You would be incorrect. "Who would we review"? We'd review the same girls we always review...you all just wouldn't have an ECCIE website address for us to link to in the "website" portion of the form. You saying that without ECCIE that all of the girls here on ECCIE would quit advertising altogether?

No, because it is tedious to find when they have been "edited by [mod]" Do you have examples where other boards have freely exchanged?

Nope. He's quite transparent, really.

Are you SURE you want me to answer that question...because you're two steps away from defeating your own argument...can you see it yet?

And that just proves you've absolutely missed his point. Whispers isn't stupid. He knows what this site is to the owners, it's a money making venture. His premise was about what drives the site, not what drives the owners to keep the site running. His premise is that the men here, drive the traffic on this site, not the providers. Talking about what the owners want out of this site is irrelevant to he discussion. If you want to discuss his premise, discuss that...

No not at all lol. i guess i meant more from the begining. Not if we got rid of all the girls NOW. like if from the start of eccie it was for men only... Make sense? Yes there are other sites, and yes girls will always find a way to post and get dates etc. I guess what im saying is that Eccie is beneficial to both sex's and would be less active if there were no girls on here. Like i said i know alot of guys do come here to chit chat, banter, argue, and honestly discuss things... but there ARE guys on here who look on the boards JUST for girls, and would not be a member of THIS board if there were not woman. Not the case for all the guys, but i promise there is a group of guys who are ONLY here for the women. We deal with them daily... the non posters. are there any "Men only" escort sites out there? They cant possibly have more traffic than the ones with women right?

[dearhunter]

hooktards are much more fun to fuck with than fucktards........but, as Whispers can attest, modtards are the most fun.......ijs
