11/06 NOT the typical "bro's before ho's" attitude But an Honest, Mentoring Board for Providers & Customers
HONESTY OVER POPULARITY, ANYDAY!!
http://www.AfterHoursCentral.com
Hello,
I am Sparkling Ruby, an Independent Escort for many years, across the US.
I have to say that I agree with all the comments made regarding TER. TER's
"Dave" has turned into a force that needs reckoning. Providers should NOT be
treated this way, PERIOD, ever, by anyone. Hobbyists should not be required to
write bogus reviews to have a membership there, or "juice up" the details of an
honest review. That is VERY bad business.
A "bogus" negative review was written on me there, and it took a very long time
to even get a response from them to look at it. It was eventually removed, but
after a LOT of hassle and wasted time on my part. I have nothing but impeccable
reviews, have never had a bad one, and after they investigated all my other
reviews on other sites, they removed it. I got lucky, ONCE. 'Not going back
there in case it was a fluke, and it wouldn't be that easy "next time".
They have refused me "provider status" stating that I need 3 reviews or more for
that, and after the deleted one, I only have two there now. I have DOZENS of
reviews at other sites, and they are all linked to my own website. I have been
working in this field too many years to count, and they don't consider me worthy
to have "provider status"? Maybe not to them, and that's ok, I have found a new,
BETTER "home online".
But, I must also add, that your suggestion to the ladies to go to another more
"honest" site, like ASPD, is very bad news. ASPD has hurt MORE women than TER,
and it's getting worse there. They don't care about the truth, they only love
the drama. The LAST thing I have found them to be is HONEST.
More and more ladies are stepping up and admitting the horrible treatment
received at ASPD, and I am one of the ones that insisted my profile be deleted
from their DB. It took several emails, and months, before they would delete me
from their site.
They spread lies, rumors, and slander, in hopes of attracting more people who
enjoy the drama. Try to find some resolve with them, and get slammed further for
questioning their judgments. Try to defend yourself against slanderous
statements, total untruths, and you'll get your posts deleted, and the thread
locked, so you cannot respond. I will NEVER go back to ASPD, and I hope that you
would not continue to encourage the upstanding ladies looking for new avenues of
advertising to go there, as well.
They may be huge, and have lots of clients and ladies, but VERY BAD things are
happening there as well. It's just a matter of time, Karma has a way of kicking
in when you least expect it. I know of MANY providers who are complaining
privately, but fear retaliation by them (certain MODS there) to speak out, and
fear losing biz to delete their profiles there. SCARE TACTICS? Is this the MOB?

(Dave comments: Too bad about ASPD, I had no idea of the
problems apparently in some sections/cities? Providers have had. I had good
discussions with the provider/founder years ago when we came to it off the old
aspd newsgroup back when we had packet readers at 120cps. It was one of the
first sites when the web became used as I recall vs newsgroups. I don't find the
drama in the Phoenix or General sections, but don't have the time to spend too
much time there. So your comments are appreciated, but I am disappointed since
honest boards are so much needed as an alterative to the disgrace of TER. Which
leads to your next comments!)

I would like to let you know about a new, little known board, that is NOT the
typical "bro's before ho's" attitude found on most of the review sites. It was
created BECAUSE of this type of drama at TER, TBD, and ASPD. The creators of
this new site want providers, and gents, to know that there is a site that will
LISTEN to them, and treat them with kindness, and even offer a MENTROING PROGRAM
for new providers, to help them avoid pitfalls that us veterans had to learn the
hard way. They are all about "team work", and comaraderie.
The owner would NEVER treat ladies in the manner that TER's Dave has. The owner
of "AHC" is NOT a PIMP. I hope you will investigate it yourself, and find that
is a new, better, alternative for the ladies and gents, to feel more
comfortable, like they are being heard, and that ANY drama will be minimized,
and handled with honesty and discretion, seeking truth only.
There are REAL people out there who CARE about this industry, and want the BEST
for the people involved in it. There are people who are genuinely interested in
making the Hobby better, safer, and more reliable online. No more BOGUS reviews.
After all, how is a new "hobbyist" supposed to accurately do his "homework" on a
provider, if the info he is getting is BOGUS?
This new site is called "AHC".
http://www.AfterHoursCentral.com . We are just over 3K members strong
now, and growing exponentially in all areas of the country. I believe it is the
same attitude you display here, that is attracting only the cream of the crop at
this new site. Mature, intelligent providers and gents, stand up, speak out, and
let's make the Hobby a better, safer place to play, together.
Thank you for a wonderful site, and for being bold enough to write TRUTHS, no
matter the threats, or fear of reactions. THIS is what we need in the industry.
HONESTY OVER POPULARITY, ANYDAY!!
Please post this, if you agree with my statements. I feel MANY need to know
about this site, to avoid the drama of the bigger, much more corrupt sites.

11/06 New Board - Honest Alternative
Dave,
I believe we hold the same values. I read your article on TER. TER is not so
large here in Texas, we have ASPD which has it own set of problems.
I would very much like for us to join forces in whatever way will improve "the
hobby". I am the owner of a new board (about 14 months old)
www.afterhourscentral.com
We have had fairly rapid growth because of our attitude of fairness and we are
becoming the known as the "kinder gentle board" .
Please check me out to insure that I meet you high standards, you will find that
I have built a stellar reputation. Then let us see if we can arrange a way of
working together to reduce the power of some of these boards who will, can and
do ruin ladies businesses for now better reason than their personal agenda.
Warmest regards
Jim
Dave says
Thanks for your note. Obviously we agree on the need for more friendly honest
boards.
Your board looks good and I am including your note on our Private List an on
sexwork.com
It is hard to get the participation going on a new board vs the widely known
dishonest boards like TER, especially when the owner spend zillions on
advertising even in Playboy, local alterative papers (full bottom page strip ads
a few years ago in the Phoenix New Times).
Obviously he makes lots of money from TER and still acts as a pimp demanding sex
or money to not "ruin your career" as he tells providers. Such a disgrace, but
it is hard to get a honest board widely known the way TER has become so dominate
like TBD use to be before his big bust for the same kind of pimp activities.
