There are a few reasons...
Some have moved on to other boards.
They don't get the dates from this board that they did from the old aspd board.
This board doesn't have the lurkers that the old aspd board had. The lurker's were where we got most of our dates from.
Some may still think that there was a problem with aspd and it's crash.
Some didn't like the way it had become a boys club and have moved on...the crash and length of time aspd has been down didn't help matters. Being that the women have bills to be paid, they went where the dates where.
Some provider's want changes and don't plan on coming back till they see them.
Those are just a few of the reasons I've been hearing from the ladies. Some just got tired of waiting for aspd to come back. They don't consider this home I guess.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Of course the women have been talking amongst themselves. It doesn't mean they won't come back. Right now they are too busy scrambling to make ends meet, they aren't worried about aspd. Some have learned never to put all their eggs in one basket...a lesson they won't forget in a hurry.
Maybe not all providers on ASPD know about this board. Like June said, they might have moved on to other boards depending on what message they saw on ASPD's homepage. Maybe they looked on the day when it didn't HAVE the message about this other board. For example, today it's only been showing this message: Vital hardware upgrades are in progess. Please be patient. If they saw something like that which doesn't mention any hope of any alternative site, I can see why they may have moved on.
Maybe some of those ladies don't check the homepage for ASPD daily like I do.
But I'm using this board. This is like "moving on to other boards", so this is still another way to advertise.

True!!!True!!! I used to get alot of lurkers from aspd...but have not seen but one guy off this one...But my biz has boomed on other boards since the crash!
{most guys dont know about this site}
True escg and dallas4u, those are the things I've been hearing from the other ladies.
Not many women are getting dates from this site. That won't keep them here for long. They will move on to other sites.
I'm still telling people with bcd access about this site! They had no idea it was even here. If the guys don't know the women won't either.
June
Since the ladies that have spoken have stated pretty much all the reasons that I could think of, I see no reason to go into it and just re-hash what they've already said.....
However, I just couldn't pass up this opportunity to be under June since it looks like this is the only way I'll get a chance like this.....LOL
June covered it great - but I think first and foremost is knowing that the lurkers are not here... In my case, and for many girls I have talked to -- Lurkers make up the core base of our clientele/unconventional suitors. As a general rule, they do not review or post... duh.. silly me, I guess that's obvious... hence the nomenclature... But Lurkers did go to ASPD for their due diligence and visiting updates/posts.....
I thought Lurkers were not invited to this board? Was that just initially? I was still under the impression that we could not share/invite lurkers, only paying BCD and reviewers? if that has changed - I'm with June, I would like to at least let a few of the lurker clients I have know as they have been asking about any other boards...

What made aspd so good for us ladies was that it was an open board. The guys could reach us ladies. I know for a fact that the women got most of their buiz from the lurkers and WK's.
This board cuts them out of the picture...thus the women too.
This board being a private board limits itself and severly handicaps the ladies. Thats why we don't care about this board...it's no good to us. We would like to know when the old aspd will be back up. That board worked as far as it got the lurkers and ladies in touch.
This board, well it's killing the ladies and well, they'll leave if they don't get dates.
These are some of the choices us ladies are facing...what site will feed me, what site will be fair, what site will be fun. So there you go guys, not being mean or ugly but we had said one day it would come to this. What do the guys do when the ladies leave because they aren't making the money they need?
Take a look around you guys, the ladies know that there are other sites out there. They've had to go to them. What does this site have to offer us? You look at the big picture and tell us what can you do for us?
Welcome to a provider's life.
On other sites we're the new girls and we're getting the dates. We're also passing along to the other ladies the sites that are good ones to go to.
Are they going to open the old aspd back up? Is it a thing of the past? Is that what this board is, the new aspd?
Ronmet is as active as anyone on the NOLA board, but he wasn't BCD and can't get on here.

I hope I didn't do anything wrong.
There are 2 guys in this thread that didn't have BCD on ASPD.

Read CK1942's update section here or I think the footer in any of his posts. Basically he needs to use the same email address he used to register at ASPD as well as the same handle and be "vouched for" -- which I think in practice means being an established member in good standing on the old Board and having someone tell him about this place. The key is someone needs to be able to reach out to him outside of ASPD (e.g. PM won't work)Quote:

Basically, you have to be invited here and then once you register your registration has to be approved.....It doesn't require that you had BCD on ASPD, and it actually doesn't even require that you were a member of ASPD (but that certainly does help).....I have approved several new members who weren't on ASPD.....It was done this way to keep the ASPD haters from logging on here and crashing this site the way they did with ASPD.....This site was intended to be a temporary place for us to be able to meet and still communicate while ASPD was down.....Didn't think the site would be down as long as it's been down, but so far this board is serving its purpose.....
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>Well, that's out of my hands and I can't give a definitive answer, but if I had to venture a guess (and it would only be a guess and nothing else), I would say that it's probably not going to "Open UP" any and for the reasons that I stated above.....They're trying to keep the hatemongers and drama magnets on the outside so that the rest of us can have a place to meet and play and connect in a peaceful and adult manner.....I'm still of the belief and mindset that ASPD will be back again and we'll all have a much better and stronger meeting place.....Maybe I'm just being naive but I'm hoping that within a matter of days that this whole threat will be moot.....Quote:

Its not just the ladies looking for alternatives.........the gentleman are too.........myself included.
If the ladies are not here.............the dawgs will leave too.
Once you lose a customer.........its much harder to get them back.........the longer ASPD stays offline, the harder it will be to rebound
as people find alternatives.
If not this board, then which board do you recommend?
Tks,

"Didn't think the site would be down as long as it's been down, but so far this board is serving its purpose....." - big c
i luv ya big c, but i have to disagree. when pretty much every provider registered here (or at least all the more vocal ones) has yet to have 1 date come from this place, who's purpose is it serving? once the ladies begin to vanish i don't think it's gonna turn into a hobbyist mingling place. no, i think that eventually the numbers (men and women) will dwindle & die out.
i still come here because feel like it's my duty as someone who is patiently & eagerly waiting for aspd to come back around, but honestly, it's a waste of time when you factor in what i get back from it, which is a big fat 0. i like being low volume, but this.... this is something else altogether!

I have offered what I believe to be solid, actionable feedback and have been told publicly "You are here as a courtesy" (dennisrn) & "home2....really was designed to help with Meet & Greets & Vouching...in some of the Texas Cities" (ck1942) (See "ask the staff" & "HDH" Boards).
Obviously my feedback is not valued, but I'd encourage the ladies to continue to the offer it. You are more persuasive than me :rolleyes: and there is strength in numbers :rolleyes:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (dirty diana @ Mar 19 2009, 10:49 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div>Hey DD, while I can't argue that this board doesn't have anywhere near the same effect for the ladies that ASPD had, I would have to disagree that the ladies have yet to have even 1 date come from here.....There are plenty of ladies that do post ads here, and there are gents here that read the ads and schedule with the ladies that are visiting their particular areas so I can't see how anyone can say that they don't get any dates from here.....And when I said that the board is serving its purpose I merely meant that it is giving us an alternative place to meet until the powers that be can get ASPD back up and running.....There are those who were (and still are) intent upon silencing ASPD so the idea was to create this supposedly temp site for us to gather and continue on until ASPD becomes active again.....Thus, I do believe that the board is serving its purpose.....That's not to say that we aren't all hoping and praying for ASPD to get it together and return, but until then, I guess this place will have to do.....Quote:

But, I do hear everyone's concerns and statements and we all know that the longer it takes for them to get back up, the harder it's going to be to get the members to return and stay.....That's pretty much a consequence that we'll have to live with, but I'm sure the general populace will return, even if slowly but eventually.....
BTW, Des, you can't receive an answer to your question because we don't want to be promoting other boards around here, now more than ever with the problems ASPD has been having.....
Well we've told you gents that this board is NOT serving its purpose and why. If you want to tell us that we are getting work when we know we're not, thats your right.
But as DD stated...once the ladies begin to vanish...enough said.

<span style="color:#000080">I think Kara hit the nail on the head.... as far as the problems the girls are seeing.... or not seeing, in the form of dates not coming from Home2. The "initial" "Home2 Existence/Invitation" message stated that only BCD members and providers were being invited. Many non BCD members who saw that message, have probably blown it off since then... and have never bothered to to try again. Since the non-posting, non-BCD, lurkers provided the majority of the girls' business.... their absence is what de-values this new "Home2" site for the girls! The whole ASPD mess is quite a shame!!

And I'm not naive enough to believe that if the ladies all go away that home2 will still be a viable board.....But, the fact that there are plenty of ladies who post on here and place ads here says that there are dates being made through here or they would already be gone.....'Nuff said.
"LOL, The new ASPD tagline, "Helping Providers Become Low Volume" - alt comedy
i get ur joke here but i want to point out that i was low volume before the crash. i don't want anyone to think that i meant it that way. like aspd crashing is responsible for my low volume-ness. (hey, if flavor flave can make up his own words so can i! lol!)
and i hear ya big c. i also wanted to point out that i don't only come here out of obligation to my duty as an aspd addict. i like to read the articles too ;)
....... but i still haven't had a date from here yet either. (just to throw that out there) not speaking for everyone, jus lil ol me. got my first serious inquiry today so that's possibly soon to change. i have high hopes though, which is why i continue to post ad's here.
And one more thing, if there were absolutely ZERO dates for the ladies coming from this site, then how do you explain that guys on this site are actually posting some reviews of the ladies that they've met......No one ever said that the ladies are getting the same number of dates from home2 that they were getting from ASPD.....That would statistically be impossible because the membership on ASPD was/is more than 10 times what it is here on home2.....And there is no questioning the fact that ASPD's membership consisted mainly of lurkers and not posters there.....So it would stand to reason that the numbers from here would be dramatically less than what was there.....But it's just not feasible to state that you're not getting anything from here when the facts would show otherwise.....
Lots of good thoughts and ideas above.... and,
...originally, Home2 was conceived as a meeting place only for those folks who attend meet-n-greets as a space where they could communicate without "busybodies" and "do-gooders" and "haters" looking over shoulders...
Obviously we have come a long way due to the aspd crash and the 500-600 or so original social invite list members are now the minority since we opened the space
-- first to all known providers and bcd members at aspd
-- then to anyone else who was registered on aspd (but we didn't broadcast that per se) for the most part those referred by word of mouth (mouseclick/keyboard) and many new folks who had not a clue about aspd but who have been referred usually by providers who are members here.
Would we ever open up Home2 to a more broadly general audience?
Perhaps, but only if we are convinced aspd is never coming back, and I do know for a fact that the work's (works!) being done to get aspd into shape for a restoration. My patience, like that of anyone else, is not completely limitless, but I've been here (aspd) for so long almost 8 years, that I certainly can stick it out (here on H2) for awhile longer w/o completely giving up on aspd and doing what needs to be done.
All of the ASPD data (well, maybe only 99 pct) bases are there, intact,because I have seen and operated them, but the hackers did a fine job on scrambling the way the board is constructed and how data is presented in forums, etc. And, reports that the hackers stashed some slime in there when and if aspd ever was restored whole meant extensive scrubbing, rebuilding, and installing new hardware and software.
No one on the aspd staff is a dedicated programmer, and security considerations dictate that no member, no matter how professional, will ever be given access to the innards. So the boss is using folks she absolutely trusts to have zero hobby connection, and so on.
All that said.... I'm still seriously hoping that we get back to basics -- meaning ASPD! and really soon, because as some of y'all have notated, Home2 ain't aspd. We don't have bcd reviews, for example, one of the prime attractions (imo) that makes aspd one of the premier review boards.
We do at Home2 have dynamic portion(s) of the aspd communities, and we could, if we were to open up the door a bit more, have way more. We could also be flooded which for those of you who have suffered those cata-strokes in N.O., for example, know we need gentle filling not floodgates broken down.
In fact, we could with a little bit of preparation, open much of H2 to the general 'net cruisers, and make much of the current common areas into more private areas into which newcomers could "graduate" or earn entry via a vouching process.
For example, all provider ads and all reviews could be open; coed forums would be closed. Welcome Wagons could be where the "open" and the "closed" portions mingle and also in the reviews and alerts. That's a riff from the "social group" planning page.
Rome (not Home) wasn't built in a "day," nor can ASPD be rebuilt "overnight" - and Noah labored mightily to spend his 40 days and 40 nights in a boat littered (some possibly gave birth) with critters, and I don't have a clue who had to clean up all theat sh*t, either!
I'm prepared to spend my 40 days with y'all, and even more than that as long we get ASPD back to what we know it to be and to what we hope it can be with the repairs and improvements.
(btw, are there any red-headed ladies out there who might have a little space for an ancient mariner in their "cabin?" j/k well, maybe not!)
So, as you can see, we are somewhat prepared to pick up the slack (and the pace) if that's what needs to be done, either here at Home2 if aspd never returns or somewhere else if that is what is meant to be.

You'll know me by my P411 credentials and my references. We'll communicate by e-mail and phone, but not by ASPD PM. I can't say how many other members do that, but that's how I roll. I have my reasons and they've served me well.

<span style="color:#000080">The bottom line is.... after six weeks of ASPD absence.... "Home2", for however many reasons, might be a nice place to "gather and meet".... but has been very little help in being able to provide business to the girls. The lack of a review database is just one more reason. It's only natural, that they will explore other, more valuable resources until ASPD can cum back..... IF it cums back! THAT is the Catch-22 they face.... how much time do they spend, paying attention to "Home2", when most of their business is coming from other venues?
Anger should only be directed toward whoever the assholes were, who bombed ASPD!! Talk about Limp Dicks!!
Giz</span>
<span style="font-family:Arial">I think some of the ladies misunderstand how things work on ASPD and Home2.
Neither ShelbySinful or Junesetx realize that much of the communication, referrals, etc. goes on "backchannel", via PM's or emails between the members and NOT in the forums.
I have not had the pleasure of meeting either lady, but I think you would both be surprised to know that I have received and passed on several recommendations for each of you!
Shelby, just this week I have had one inquiry by PM about you and a glowing recommendation by phone & email from someone else..
I know with absolute certainty that both of you ladies are benefiting from this board - you just aren't aware of it.
I also want to address the question of "bogus" reviews. Ladies: the lurkers are (or were) here BECAUSE of the reviews and the discussion forums. You all bemoan the fact that there aren't any lurkers here, but we will NEVER have any lurkers unless we have reviews!
Whether you like it or not, it IS the BCD comments - the "dirty details" - that guys want to know about before plunking down their hard-earned cash.
Something else for the ladies to think about - If someone posts a bogus review and another dawg sees the same lady and has a vastly different experience - he WILL be called out on the board and the veracity of his review questioned. Everybody here relies on the word of the other guys that have seen the girl to tell the truth. So called "chest beating" usually only injects a bit of humor into the account. For the most part, our reviews are treated VERY seriously by guys who are trying to decide just where they are going to spend their money.
And, again ladies, DO NOT forget that we ARE the largest group of serious players in this area that I know of. On other boards you never really know who is serious and who isn't. On ASPD we're ALL serious, committed hobbyists with a vested interest in staying safe and protecting our collective reputation.

Nothing can really be done about it, until a database is built up... that's just the facts!
I know... for a fact... that some girls deliberately, do not post ads... but rely upon reviews and word of mouth to do their advertising for them. Yes... backchanneling works great, to spread the good... or bad word. But all the board lurkers have to go by, are the posted reviews. Therein, lies the deficiency here.

Big C and Seadog.......I can't argue with what either of you have said. However, my point was that I've never been a big poster, I didn't need to be. I've NEVER posted an Ad on any of the boards, I've just always allowed my reviews to speak for themselves and word of mouth/referrals through backchannel. Home2 is a nice temporary alternative... however, now that ASPD is gone, so are my ASPD reviews. Therefore, I haven't been getting the lurker/ASPD client directly from home2. Luckily, I didn't have all my "eggs in one basket" and my business hasn't really suffered. But the great news is that after this week that should all change!!!! :P Thanks guys!!!!!
Kisses & Licks,

One last thing, please understand that I'm posting this from an Arkansas point of view, where there has been very little activity here at home2. Only three reviews total in that area!!!!!!
I suppose it does happen on occasions, but in all my years of hobbying I have yet to have even one lady ask me where I heard about her from.....Not even in my early days of hobbying before anyone ever heard of BIG C.....
I'm going to say this again here.....ASPD, home2, TBD, TER and other escort boards do not have the purpose of finding dates for anyone.....What I said was that this board is serving its purpose and that purpose is just like the other boards that I've named which is to provide a place for members of the hobbying community (providers and hobbyists alike) to be able to gather and communicate with each other.....Now, several boards have been around much longer than home2 has been around and their membership is much greater than home2's membership and the ladies posting on those boards with their ads are going to get much more activity from those boards than they are going to get from a board that's only been in existence for a few months.....But, when someone says that the ladies aren't getting anyone from this board to see them I think that's completely false because we do have several cities where there are reviews posted so that means that someone from this board is seeing ladies on this board.....Are people getting the same amount of people from home2 that they were getting from ASPD.....Well, that's not possible because of the factors that I meantioned earlier.....But is this board serving the purpose for which it was started.....I say it is because MOST of the members here were members on ASPD and when ASPD crashed this one was started so that the members of ASPD could have a place to meet and communicated until ASPD gets revived (and at this point no one knows when that will happen).....
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>Yes, I concur with that statement.....The only thing is I'm not sure where you've detected any anger in this thread towards anyone.....Quote:
Anger should only be directed toward whoever the assholes were, who bombed ASPD!! Talk about Limp Dicks!![/b]
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>Should this become the permanent place for us to meet and greet, then it will be up to the ladies to better market themselves and let people know they're here and that they're ready for action.....KLN posts ads and she's getting business.....Dallas4u same thing.....There are several ladies that post ads in various cities and I have to think that if they weren't getting anything from posting here then they wouldn't be continuing to post.....And since I've read some reviews of plenty of ladies, then I also have to think that someone most definitely is getting dates from home2......Quote:

Hopefully, this is all going to be moot pretty soon and we'll have ASPD back up and running, and the review database there will be intact and we can all go back to having fun in a more comfortable environment.....

Au Contraire my lovely ladies. I've been an active member of ASPD for 3+ years and find most of my dates on this board. (I've seen five who have advertised on this temporary board so far.) But I NEVER give my ASPD handle. If the subject of ASPD comes up at all, I'll tell you I'm a lurker. I like the anonymity.
You'll know me by my P411 credentials and my references. We'll communicate by e-mail and phone, but not by ASPD PM. I can't say how many other members do that, but that's how I roll. I have my reasons and they've served me well.
Take care everyone, and perhaps I'll be seeing you soon...[/b]
Same here.......no one has seen me as Woody except for one girl, and she doesn't know me as my P411 profile as I normal do. I have been doing this since I was a member in nine years ago. So you might have seen this member and only thought you were seeing a lurker. In matter of fact if you asked me as my p411 profile if I post to the boards, the answer would be no, I like having a little privacy just like you girls do.
Just something to think about.
I've had the same concerns that the other girls do. If someone contacts me via email I might ask where they saw me to get a better idea of what board is working for me...if through P411, I don't. Now, I do still post ads on this board, although I have not seen anyone who openly said they were from here. Most tell me somewhere else. Recently in an ad I placed, I was told I could not list my reviews in it, as they were from another board. I did not consider that I was promoting the other board, but was trying to promote myself. Perhaps I am not the best at doing that, I'd love some pointers, as when someone does choose me, they are rarely disappointed.
Although, I am not a computer expert, I am literate...that said, I find this site hard to navigate. As of yet, I can't find the chat among other features. Will I continue to check it out and try to make it work? Yes, as ASPD was my first board and would have probably been my only...

Here's the link to a thread that should help you find the Chat:

Actually... I have to say... I like the software and features of this board MUCH more than the olde ASPD set! Very easy to post.... messages are easier.... the layout.... all we need is more content.... and history!! Sounds like we might have some spinner action, soon! B)
All is not lost, eh?
