Decreased activity on this site?

[Doug69]

The fact that would-be defenders of this Board have nothing to say in the face of this Board's transparent and rapid demise other than:

 

"Hey, we're doing OK - we have more hits than that new Board that's been around for 4 months and has spent not one penny in marketing or advertising!" . . .

 

. . . is a compelling testament to this Board's sorry state - and to the desperation of its defenders.

 

It would be like a large, failing software company trying to justify its embarrassing sales results by pointing out that it at least sold more products than the start-up created last month by the college kid in his garage. How humiliating that - after this site has been around and thrived for 6 years (i.e., before it got overrun by the Skrubber's, Conway's and JT's of the world) - its defenders have to resort to arguments like this. "Hey, we get more hits than EscortSpeak!"

 

Apparently, the contributors of EscortSpeak are doing something right as its traffic and views continue to increase, while this forum's views plainly decrease.

 

But even if that weren't the case - even if EscortSpeak were the colossal wasteland that some here want desperately to insist that it is - that would say nothing whatsoever about the actual issued raised by the originator of this thread - i.e., why this Board is dying.

 

The would-be defenders of this site seem revealingly eager to ignore that question and to focus instead on EscortSpeak. There's a good explanation for that avoidance. There is simply no answer to the dispositive fact that this forum:

 

(a) thrived while the bad, mean posters posted prolifically and constant (and often vigorous) disagreements and disputes predominated; and

 

(b) died when those posters stopped posting and, in their place, the prevailing conversation around here began to resemble nice, empty chit-chat about petty, juvenile topics conducted in the style of overly-polite, delicate 7th grade girls.

 

Empirical facts never lie.

RE: How big do we want to be?

 

I've been around this site long enough to remember the days when we could read all of the postings in a reasonable amount of time. Now? Yeah, OK, we've shrunk a bit. (Has the number of hits on the reviews gone down?) This is still the only message center I read and participate in. And it takes me long enough that my husband, Maverick, sometimes complains about I never get off of the computer. And I'm still not reading everything that's here any more. And there isn't advertising back in this section which depends on number of hits for pricing. So, just how large does this thing need to be to be considered a success?

[Traveller]

To only people who regularly post are DickHo and me about big cocks (usually Latin who like to shove it up your ass) and their various fucking techniques. Without us this site dies.

 

Later.

 

PS. I did try a great creme brulee lately in honor of Dag Hammarsskjold's birthday.

The empirical fact that anyone who looks at your site can determine is that there is nothing of interest there to anyone except the escort stalker and horse enema boy.

 

Let's be honest, the only reason they are on that site is because they can't post here anymore.

 

I imagine that if their access to this site was restored, there would be no posts except for your Stalinistic rantings over there.

[Guest Conway]

Here's an example of the depth of conversation one can find on your far superior site. This is one of the two posts made in the last 48 hours over there:

 

taylorhorsehumper: "whatever happened to that hobbyho seth"

 

Only other poster on the site: "he must be looking at himself in the mirror."

 

Is that what you mean when you speak of how much more depth there is to the conversation is over there?

 

I'm starting to think that you're nothing more than a delusional liar, Dougie.

AMEN to THAT! So, how about Rick and Derek's new HOT pics? :9

Why buy advertising when you can advertise here for free? (And nobody has ever challenged it, in case that subtlety was lost on anyone. It was an intentional decision.)

 

Your site should be veritably flooded with posters. It isn't. You've got FREE ADVERTISING in your primary market.

 

>Empirical facts never lie.

 

Indeed. No traffic there in spite of free advertising here.

 

Yep. The facts speak for themselves.

You can only skim pablum for so long. It's either that or re-learn the Dewey Decimal System. Either one, I imagine would be like fucking Matty Pancelet with Doug's cock. Dickho and I give more fodder than the rest of you lemmings in the aggregate.

 

Later.

I agree, let's all talk instead about all the sexy things we can do with (or to) Rick's hot ass. :9 Posting activity should skyrocket.

Maybe you could translate this into English, even if I knew who Matty

Pancelot and Dickho are, I still would not understand your point.

Forget the Dewey Decimal System, reading James Joyce/Marcel Proust is easier that trying to understand your last two sentences.

VDN..SWEET! Although have you seen our Guy Rick's Newest Speedo Photo in the Review Section? Very Hot! :+

"JT Brooklyn" has never said this place needs more like him! He owns Mucho "Mirrors" for that Satisfaction! LOL

It's usually kept simple over at escortspeak so all of you that hate us...but read the site religously...can understand. We wouldn't want you to tax your brains and have your tiara's fall off.

 

It really is amusing Conway that you go over there so often and are so obsessed with it...even though you hate it...that you can tell how many post there are each hour.

 

You should try going outside sometime...sunshine and fresh air are good for you.

I have found a couple of ways to fill the void left by fewer posts on this site. I have always fantasized about the Munroe Monument and strategically placing my tongue in that portal of heaven.

 

I have recently come (cum) up with a new and exciting fantasy. Since Matthew Rush has now bottomed on film and seems to have opened a new facet to his sexual life and since I know Jeff of Columbus to be a personal friend of Mr. Rush and since I have spent a memorable evening with Jeff in Columbus I have taken to imagining Mr. Rush on the bottom end of Mr. Jeff's magnificent cock.

 

You can only imagine how much daydreaming I have done with these two visions of perfection. While Jeff has always maintained that his relationship with Matthew is purely friendly it never hurts to dream.

Thanks HB! :-) Funny thing is, prior to meeting Matthew a few years ago, I had some similar fantasies. I'd seen him around town for a few years before we actually met and had even sent him an e-mail inquiring as to whether he escorted or not (to which he never replied). Through an exchange on his thread at MuscleService, we exchanged e-mails and decided to meet. I'd heard some very negative things about him, none of which turned out to be true. We quickly became great friends, going out for dinner a few times a week, movies, hanging out watching TV, whatever, surrogate-boyfriends- without-the-sex is what we called it. I've been lost ever since he moved to Florida last October. ;(

There really should have been a prominent warning accompanying that HoustonBonfire post indicating that it contained graphic imagery not suitable for most sane adults.

 

One of the fascinating things about this online prostitution Board is seeing the, shall we say, "wide variety" of prostitutes who are out there hawking their wares. Guys who you wouldn't fathom ever touching for free - or even if they paid you - seem to be trying to maintain a career as a prostitute, even well into their 40s.

 

This Board is plagued by a few of those types. I know they don't exactly have clients swarming at their door, but the mere fact that there is anyone willing to have sex with them, let alone pay money for the "privilege," is really one of those mystifying circumstances of life. Gosh, the wonders of human diversity never cease.

[Guest mbarz]

Doug...you are too kind...40's...I don't think so...that guy looks like he is in his 60's.

[Doug69]

Obviously, people like talking about this topic, as it's one of the most viewed threads - by far - on this Board.

 

Or, to put it another way, the exact types of discussions which are said to be the problem, when participated in by the exact posters who are said to be the problem, are always the most widely read. By glaring contrast, the nice threads, started by the nice posters, are almost always ignored.

[Bilbo]

You should all be happy that he is a bit more of a gentleman than you are. Or else I simply cannot understand why he didn't alert you for character assasination. Since he didn't, I won't. This time.

[Guest Conway]

It's kept simple over there because nearly all of the participants in it are simpletons.

 

As for any obsession that I may have with that case study in retardation, I can assure you that I read that board for the same reason that I stare at midegts trying to eat Big Macs...It's just so darned freakish to see little short fingered people try to act big that I cannot help but watch.

It's not quite as freakish as going into a restaurant and seeing a fat, queeny, middle aged...BUSBOY...wearing pink lip gloss.
