As many of you have found out (the hard way) birchplace went through a revamp which basically made it shit.

I was wondering where else to go?

Oh and the new design is crap too. As if the place wasn't bad enough in the first place there is now nothing that works. Always been one of the slowest sites on the net now it's not only slow but also pretty pointless, way to go birchplace.

You might wanna try tvchix mate but be prepared takes a few days for profiles to be approved, much better site than bp and less fakes and desperados.

Yep - but right now only a few escorts on TVChix ... which may change unless Birchplace srts itself out darn quick. Try adultwork also

Tvchix is bassed more on transvesties and corssdressers,they dont have webcam room or other things ,there u cant post naked pics or other stuff but is ok in my view...and are not so many transexuals on there.

Which is why i like it, been harangued one too many times in bp chat by escort girls/fakes/weirdos, for those of us not into the whole escort scene tvchix is a welcome relief.

Don't get me wrong i've made a few friends on bp but it's really slow, prone to crashes and the chat room is a pain, now with the hopeless new design i really have no reason to ever go on there again.

Give it a look - it's not the same as those sites but plenty of free posted personal pics, contacts, blah, blah.

Never go in the webcam room, can't be arsed if i want a cheap thrill i'll watch some porn and most of the transsexuals on bp are basically drumming up business for their escorting so i won't miss them either, i do agree though that the lack of nude pics or vids is a drawback, we're all adults after all.

Just think tvchix is that little bit classier.

Just had a look at the suggested sites but none seem as good as birchplace......its a shame because birchplace is rubbish.

I am looking for sites that more cater to ts girls rather than cd's and tv's.

is ts-dating not just a standard dating site?? birchplace was more relaxed and free. free being the best part lol

Prospero

No - TS-dating you can join for free and there are many adverts for escorts there. But some are pretty old and out of date.

But Nikka's ad says she is in London - and she is actually a few thousand miles away. So it's an old one

I can log in okay but the site is still very messed up.

I went and had a look at Birchplace and even if it was working okay it's just plain ugly and unappealing now. Before it was simple with all the ads 3 abreast and you scrolled down - any idiot could browse see a pic of a girl that appealed and then check her out and when her page came up it was easy to read and see whatever pics she had provided. From a design point of view it was a very simple interface to use which would have made it appealing to someone looking for a girl. Now you only have so many ads a page and then when you check a girl out you have to open her media to browse pictures. It looks worse and it's much less appealing for a casual user. I'm all for technology if it makes it simpler and easier to use but whomever designed this has overcomplicated the beast. They seem to have misunderstood the purpose of the site - it's to bring punters in and the way it is now they will become frustrated. The old rule applies KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid)

Yep - I agree and I've noticed a lot of girls are now migrating to Eros and to TVChix - probably to Adultwork also. Birchplace has shot itself in the foot - if not the heart.

Birchplace has always been the slowest site on the net. Now its even slower and looks like its been designed by a 2 year old.

Chat rooms full of people who are never there. Tiny fuzzy photo's that take forever to load. Hell, you can't even check your sent mail unless you pay!

You can only view a 8 member pics unless you upgrade to 'gold' or 'silver' member.

With all the free social networking TS/TV sites out there, Birchplace has no chance.

On another point: Pleased to see that Reliable Hosting finally closed my old Birchplace run 'tv-kim.com' site down at last.

Officially left it. I thought the way it looked was only temporary, but I've been waiting for seemingly months for them to get their act together, and it looks like this is what they think is good. Everything I used to think was good about the site has gone.

The last straw was not being able to see anything more than my first page of fans without being a fully paid member.

I think it may be finally time to join facebook.

Anyone know how to fan or comment a profile on Birchplace? I can see some people can use these features but they don't even appear for me.

Yes. Set your browser zoom to 75% while on someones profile and it should be on the bottom right. (Yes, they really have messed things up pretty bad...)

I gave up on Birchplace after they sold a bunch of my stuff and then switched payment providers claiming that gave them the right not to pay me what was being held in the previous account even though their sellers portal stated that all money owed would be paid. Something tells me if a customer paid that money went somewhere and it sure the hell wasnt to me...

Something I never take kindly to.

Birchplace has always been run by bandits. But it is now useful to neither its paying customers or those who want to use it as a source of information.

Somebody tell me what is Birchplace? Would really like to know.:smile:

Birchplace is a site which offers provider escort ads, chatrooms, messaging, provider content, sextoy/sissywear webshop etc. etc. It's been around a while and has always been appallingly slow and unresponsive. Towards the end of last year they embarked on a redesign promising the Earth and delivering a small asteroid instead. It's still reassuringly slow at times.

Although it's free to join you have to pay for Gold membership (£25/$30 per annum) for example to do basic things like advanced search, delete messages from your Inbox or to view more than six images in a provider's media gallery on their profile.

It's a bit of a pig trying to promise a poke ...

rods being a bit harsh there. Going back to oldschooldays 1997-98 (tut i was a bit young to be lurking on such websites then but hey..!), and early 2000s , right into middle of 2000's rxxx , aka birchplace was the leader and only place to go for a very long time in the UK... it wasnt that slow back in the old days, the 2nd version wasnt bad either.

they got big problems at the moment, but as no one gives much of a fuck about the UK in general i cannot see any competitors popping up, TVchix caters for a diff angle, AW is purely commerical.... BP still has time to sort itself out, probably a lot of it.

Sorry about that what I should have said was:

it's inability to scale its servers to cope with the demand in recent years exacerbated by an expanding user base has done it no favours.

Changing the format to what they changed it too, specifically.

The old site wasn't bad. It always seemed a bit cheap and nasty, but based on the subject matter, I didn't really see that being a down point. They used to have some great features that no other site did as well, and it was a welcome place to go and chat to friends when someone was stalking me on Chix. (It happens a lot, I think it's my fault, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong).

The best use of their money really should have been increasing the server support to handle the demand they were getting. The speed of the site was the only real issue anyone had with it (that I'm aware).
