Feel badly for the ladies that relied on it.

It's not permanent..
Good to know.
I hope everyone has their Christmas money already or has regulars built up..
I almost forgot about this site. I guess I need to figure out how to get verified status.
I see it as a speed bump. Opportunities to network and communicate are still out there, have you seen how many are on twitter?
It did surprise me to see just how quickly many people embraced eccie when it came back though.
Well, Hopefully folks learned from the first time and kept information somewhere other than on the net.
There’s plenty of other social media options available.
Ho Ho Ho...enjoy the holidays
Patience grasshopper.....
it's all my fault....been lurking on the site since the ASPD days, finally decide to write a review after all that time, two days later POOF it was gooone...
When did this happen? I must be living under a rock
Not broken, there's a tweet from eccie_net saying "ECCIE has voluntarily suspended operations while all options are considered. Apparently they weren't sure if they could avoid having the FBI kick in the door and arrest the staff like they did with backpage and Michael Cohan.
Because my Dear, nothing in life is permanent.
Just a simple observation.
Good job trying to get a member of Eccie staff to divulge information. :clapping:
ECCIE went down Saturday, Kit, with no advance notice and no explanation, just like in April.
As I understand it also, questionable that Twitter feed is officially authorized by the E. Let's wait for additional confirmation, and if it doesn't come, oh, well, naught we can do about it but carry on carrying on meanwhile.
Irish luck to the E's hopeful return, as always sad to lose another Hobby resource.
Irregardless, it was a shitty deal to shut it down with no notice at a time when many of the ladies need it the most. Interesting that they have now done a url redirect to adultsearch, a site I wouldn't even consider logging in to.
I agree with you explorer but with 2019 on the horizon they had to shut down or face the consequences of the government. If they don't plan on doing what p411 is doing and making changes I doubt it will resurface. ANY SITE that gains popularity will need to be careful. Save all the providers numbers you would want to see and get screened by them all asap is my advice. I think many sites will go black very soon if they don't make an attempt to clean it up a bit.
I know. None of this is going to affect me in the short-term, but if they would have done it a month ago it wouldn't have caused so much panic with the holidays. I was already fully scheduled throughout the holidays before it hit so it hasn't affected me at all, but I know it has been stressful on some of the ladies and it could have been handled much better. This is two times in less than a year that they have taken the legs right out from under their user base. I wouldn't think they'll stand for much more.
Okay,.. so I’m gonna play devils advocate (doesn’t mean I agree with what I’m about to say so don’t get your panties in a bunch)
It’s the responsibility of the eccie staff to check with every user, to make sure it’s okay to flip the switch? Keep in mind ladies are not paying for a service, they are using the site for free, that at anytime has the right to cease existence as the owners see fit. It’s not a publicly traded company, so they don’t need to check in with shareholders (members of the forum) to get a vote on the direction of the site.
Also keep in mind all but just a few states, are at will employment states. So if we are keeping this in business terms (as I assume we are since your worried about the ladies incomes being effected) I’m betting the companies most of the gents on the forums work for could just as easily let them go a week before Christmas as well. Without cause, reason or explanation. It’s the way it is,.. be prepared, have a backup plan, and do your best to not live paycheck to paycheck. And,.. please don’t rely on a website that you don’t own to keep food on the table.
When bp went down, my phone went nuts that weekend. I was like is my # on a bathroom stall somewhere? Then eccie went. Because I had been on Eros since I started in 2012 I was able to be found. And even with eccie up most of my calls were coming from Eros. I have not had any bookings from my tweets and toots. I have jumped over to another site and will see how it flows. Would love to have the ladies come on over so we can build OK up on it. Verification is easy for the ladies and they use discord for chatting. Oddly, December has been slow or full of cancels for me. And tonight I had a ncns/ghosting. Most of the guys I encounter do not want to keep the info of ladies in case they get caught. Kudos to you sexy fuckers who keep our #s.
I am not sure eccie will be back. If you go look it brings you to another site now. Guess time will tell but they are always so behind on eccie and how many times do you need maintenance or for that long? Other sites try choosing hours that won’t cause as many issues and then back up by morning.
Just typed in eccie.net and was redirected to adultsearch.com - I'm beginning to think that referring to eccie should be done in the past tense from here on.
The "warning" that something like this could or would happen was the enactment of FOSTA/SESTA months ago. Changes were inevitable. Change or die. But as others have implied, where a void develops, a creative solution often appears in order to attempt to fill the void. Some people are creative by nature. When presented with a new challenge they put on their thinking caps and find a way around it. Basic urges seemingly cannot be legislated out of existence. Just like individuals coming and going from the hobby, the landscape continually changes. It's just that the changes of late have come more frequently than we have been accustomed to. To paraphrase Marty McFly "This is a blues riff in 'B', watch for the changes, and try and keep up, okay?"
Hell I spent 2 hours this morning writing down every number and email I could find, that wasn't already in my phone...Just in case... And if any ladies wNt to pm an email or phone number I would be happy to add to my list:pileon:
You all do know that the Eccie account on Twitter is fake and is not associated with Eccie Staff or the Eccie website..
I've been kinda waiting to see how the cards fall Jan 1 to see what all sites do. I'm in a temporal Flux for the moment. I never ever wanted to use Social Media for advertising, EVER! Now it seems inevitable. So much going on in my personal life, just don't seem to have the will to research and put into play the effort to do it all. I have my .coms a couple of accounts created, but still, haven't really made the jump. #iSuck
Gypsy what site did you jump over to? If you don’t mind sharing!
I’m on some sites that I didn’t put myself on! But I’m not even sure anymore which ones! (Because I didn’t put myself on them!) lol
I’ve been using switter some! Anyone know anything about that site?
