This may not be the worst thing for some of us New York guys. If Eros and Backpage get shut down, which I suspect they will a lot of girls are going to be out of work and are only going to have one choice.... back to the street, and in Queens we know what street that is going to be. I also suspect some Luchos type clubs will start to appear again so it's not a good situation, but it may have a few good side effects

Make it a requirement for the girls to post the amount of roses they require, and they must validate their picture somehow! If you want to post on my page, photo ID and your rates!
Also, why don’t we start a group chat on WhatsApp or another app for now just for reviews and stuff?? Or if one has been created already, can I get the info??
What about people who are actually posting for dating/hookups, not for sessions?Quote:

I'm hoping to see the price range from a grant to a Benjamin tops.....the current value market was getting ridiculous.... just trying to look at the bright side of this fucking freedom debacle ...

There are some providers with 100+ reviews, all positive. If you provide good service, you will get good reviews. No hiding behind fake reviews. For the punters at least, its a good thing. If you think real reviews will be a detriment to your business, it may be time to re-evaluate your service levels.Quote:

I have, no issues yet, though I'm well aware of the members who love to point out that "you've just fucked a bloke in a dress"...Quote:

Dont forget 'they' have not shut down anything, its the site owners that are taking action to avoid legal ramifications. It doesnt really matter what rules are in place, the whole thing boils down to risk. The laws are vague and untested in the courts. Untill it is ascertained exactly what is acceptable by some test cases then web site owners and operators will take a risk based approach to decide what they allow.Quote:

Whether the reviews generate enough traffic to the rest of the site to make them worthwhile only time will tell, but personally I doubt it unless some test case can prove the legality of hosting such a discussion.
I look forward to being a part of any future european based forum or rejoining the party here if and when this shit blows over.
I just want to thank those that have made this place what it is, stephen and a few other notable people who im sure we all know. Its been a great resource that I have enjoyed being a part of.
Does that mean the Eros site is expected to come down as well?
They might decide to just take down the US section only, but would it be worth maintaining the business for what’s left?Quote:

Oh. Looks like finally some peeps are waking up from their slumber:D

Whats nit picky to you may be serious to someone else. Everyone is different which is why reviews from a variety of punters is helpful to create a more balanced view of a service provider - which is what review sites should be about. Next time you receive nit picky reviews, take it on board and rectify it, however small.Quote:

Good job on having repeat clients, but imagine a review site where all you get are "repeat clients" not really adding anything new to a thread, only comments like "she's great, go see her" - not massively helpful to a prospective new client. The old reviews board here was a bit like that and very cliqy. Good for the ego maybe.
To me migrating to UKP would be a disaster. One of the things I liked about HA review forums is the generally positive view towards many of the girls and many of the girls actually post here. UKP users seem to really disdain for the girls and a have a feeling of being above them, it's a really grim culture over there. Not to mention the fact that they hate trans women with a passion. Surely there's got to be a better alternative?
Don't have time to read all 18 pages of comment on this very unwelcome move, so I don't know if this point has been made already or not.
Reluctantly accepting the logic of the decision, would it still not be possible to keep individual posts to the reviews thread accessible to the people who made them via their profiles but not publicly available to anyone else?
There are reviews of mine on that board going way back that I would have copied had I thought that something like this was going to happen.
you are spot onQuote:

Well escort section HA used to serve as a helpful mean of finding right girls many guys get cheated by escorts who edit their pics heavily and cheat guys at least this page used to be a right place to inform people so that they can be saved from getting cheated..now it's gone and those cheat people got the edge again.
I would hope that the servers that hold those reviews are wiped clean, if they have not already been served with notice to preserve potential evidence. A few state investigations reported in the US have gone after reviewers for promoting. Reaching out to Hillary may provide the steps necessary for deleting such posts.Quote:

This forum belongs to a company. The company is based in the US and is a legal entity in the US.
Regardless of where a website is, the company that owns it is liable for anything illegal done on it. 'Follow the money'.
so its about company which owns this website ....and company is in USAQuote:

I so wish we could’ve been notified about this sudden cut off point before closing down the Reviews forum so that we as escorts could’ve saved/screenshot our own threads to send on to anyone questioning our services. Thanks anyway to all those of you that left me great reviews (and to the 1 that didn’t haha)
Have fun guys and happy future punting I’m sure another review site will pick up soon enough but will never be on the same scale as Hung angels. What a shame. X
Sure - do you want to put an offer in?Quote:
