Anybody else notice the huge and recent increase in the number of guests on this site? In the past the number seemed to max out in the 300 to 400 range, but it's currently at around 950.

Yes and coincidentally I’ve easily noticed lots of eccie.net members leaving that site, every day there are at least 2 to 3 requests to cancel user profile and has been at this pace for several months.

I did not notice, but perhaps one reason is that over the last year the site has been branching out to agency and non-AMP/Asian reviews?
Anyways, more is better, right?

A lot of mongers are leaving that UG site as well. I mean, the mods there delete what they want and silence anyone who opposes them whenever they choose. Fuck that site is right! Wait, did anyone say that before I agreed to it?? Lol

I only joined that site cause Tna went to shit. I literally only was on gfeclub. Then i noticed slowly as Tna acquired it. It started going down. So i joined UG thst place is wayyyy over moderated ego tripping at its worst at times. Billy is cool though it's good he became mod. Bestgfe joined there too but its dead there.

Gfeclub and Ter were all i needed now its just ampreviewsnet mainly and Ter and every once and a while i check out UG...... Btw Spa hunters was never that good lol

Not sure if it’s relevant, but I’ve had a couple USA customers ask for custom work lately to protect their websites from inundations of traffic from China and Russia. Belief is they’re gearing up botnets to interfere in elections. these aren’t political customers, the bots are just web crawling like crazy.

IMO it's not relevant, but have a Happy New Year anyway, and I wish a great 2020 for you and all the rest of us as well.

BTW, IBs are worried about election BOTs???
I haven't heard a thing.
But anyways...happy new year!

Both customers are biggish financials. The concern is stability, not politics, per se. The problem is they are bots. Crap like IOT devices in your house, not country based attacks. its a PIA. Stop putting your toasters on the internet.

I think philly traffic increased a lot and some western state influx

Agree lots of fucking asshole moderators on other sites - i was strictly bestgfe only until they sold and retreaded and gave mental midgets the power of censorship.

I guess once you allow provider ads things slowly but surely go into the shitter

I like Bestgfe. Post my reviews there as well as here (TNA and now TER too).
I think Willie is a good Mod.
Just IMO...

Funny you knew willie was the asshole

Never met the guy but he is certainly a fucking douche

A small petti pathetic piece of garbage human being based on what i heard from providers - abuse of power, threats and low brow manipulation for personal gain (for services)

But hey - i am only a casual hobbier and have no interest to get into the back stage drama

It may be the fact that this site appears to be a paid advertiser on eccie.
I just check out Eccie. Their review format is almost identical as ours. Also why are they advertising us (another monger board)? Are they owned by the same people?

It's probably Elexa, Siri and Cortana searching for information by inquiring mines!

For the most part they are geographically seperate. ECCIE has never been very big in the NE corridor, and this site has never been very big in TX.

Every site--of this type or others--ebbs and wanes. ECCIE seems to have had some (un)civil war, and a lot of the old heads have departed. Some of the more calm and mature (the brandy and fireplace types) moved to another board in that area.

Will they regroup? I have no idea. But at some point they will fade away. How many were TBD members when it was the biggest and baddest? I was, and watched to eventually become about 6 grumpy old men (and women) in the shell of a big falling down house. Then one day the bulldozers arrived and it finally died.

I personally would like to see a consortium of similar sites, but don't know if the egos of all involved can play nice together for long. There are some really good folk on ECCIE, and some real jerks. As everywhere.

This site, Rubmaps (seriously thinking about dumping it became of large number of face reviews) and USA Sex Guide are what I use.
