Hilarity at the other site? Oh my!

[Guest josephga]

Never been timed out there but was timed out on another site once & never went back. I've made it clear id never return to any site that I received a time out on. It's a pride thing to many boards out there a person can take themselves to.

[Suckrates]

I remember someone asking what happen to greatrness? someone said he was timed out. someone asked why? One of the mods said that greatness requested to be timed out. I figured he just asked to be timed out so he wouldn't be tempted to visit and post

The odd thing about "over there" is that even when you are Timed-out, you Still have access to the site, and can read ALL the posts and comments. You just CANT reply to them or participate in threads.

To ME, that reads as masochistic. They throw you out but let you look in to see all the nasty things being said about you. More childish shit !

[Guest CharliePS]

Believe me hito, you wouldnt WANT any of the Losers over there as a husband. They are self-absorbed assholes who center their lives around Escorts.....compete with each Other, and every one of them is a Drama Queen.... You DESERVE better !

Nothing like a carefully considered, temperate generalization, is there?

Actually, if they are mad enough at you, they block your access to the site completely from your old ISP.

[Guest josephga]

I use to belong to this one site when they timed out it was a total block. they would block the isp.

you would get a notice on your screen that said blocked. time lifted never

Well Charlie, you know what they say, "if the Generalization FITS......"

[Suckrates]

Well what a mockery....They are Mad enough to throw you out, BUT not mad enuf to Totally block you... If that isnt an asshole game, I dont know WHAT is ?

There were some specific reasons why Oz and I started this site and some had to do with the forum there. We saw management issues, policy issues, and atmosphere issues. We sought to do some things differently. We are happy with our alternative.

Personally, I never wanted a wholesale co-opting of that forum in its entirety for this site. Too many issues and abrasive personalities. There were some great contributors that were desired. Some found their way here. For that we are thankful. I'm very happy with the quality of our contributors here and from the feedback, members seem to appreciate the management style, generally.

[wayout]

Generally speaking it is good to have alternatives and the ability to choose between them. In my view the two forums offer fairly significant different alternatives. Most of the differences probably can be traced back to management philosophy and style of operating the sites, which also influences the type of people that post at one or the other (assuming they are aware that an alternative exists).

While there is certainly some overlap, I sense one site is more for those that like to instigate drama and/or watch resulting cat fights. It certainly gets old and tiresome, especially as it drowns out the voices of those that have a real interest in a useful, educational and/or humorous dialogue/discussion. There are countless guys over the years I have enjoyed reading their posts but they finally gave it up for one reason or another.

I am fascinated with how much people seem to take it all so very seriously and invest energy, feelings and perhaps even personal self worth in the forums. I used to be, for lack of a better word, obsessed with the forums and would actually get upset at things posted. The two things that bothered me the most were the personal insults/name calling and how some would never ever acknowledge they were wrong or overstated their position, especially when it was clearly shown to be the case. Sometimes I still do get upset but for the most part I've come to realize it is better to move on and let things go since I can't really change others behavior and/or attitudes (especially if they don't have any interest in changing).

As I alluded to before, the players may change but the game doesn't. Bottom line, for me at least, thank goodness there is an alternative and I very much hope it continues as it is.

[Guest corymonroe]

I asked a well-regarded escort about this site and his response was not encouraging. Since he has a lot of escort friends, I got the sense his opinion was shared. It seems to me, the main difference between the two sites is one attracts escort participation while this one does not. There also seems to be more traffic at the other site, which may explain why some escorts make a choice. As long as there aren't hundreds of new customers chatting over here, what is the business incentive?

Well YES, that other site does get escort participation, but they are mainly D-list escorts that hang out there for Business. They are the same D-list escorts that routinely attend those Hunger Games "brown-nosing" escort/client events in Palm springs and DC, thrown by those desperate, self-absorbed clients, where the clients are pitted against each other to see who could spend the most money "purchasing" the most boys and Grandstanding about it for a couple days, and then spend the following week posting " I LOVE YOU, You are incredible threads".

Now, logic will tell you that if you are a Successful escorts, you dont need to throw yourself to the lions at these "chessy" events, especially when the clients, for the most part have demonstrated themselves to be a bunch of Douchbags on the site. And furthermore, these are the SAME escorts that routinely BASH each other on the site. Maybe its called "friendly competition" but I would NEVER hire and escorts that has bashed his peers. It speaks to his character.

So, there you have it corymonroe. If those are the kind of Escorts that site attracts, we are FAR better off NOT having them come here.

[wayout]

And it is my impression that there aren't that many escorts that regularly post there anyway...maybe 4 or 5? I've known several escorts who have posted there for a time but were either driven away or just got fed up with the bs and left.

With regards to the comment by Suckrates about get togethers, I've thought about the pros and cons of such events. Perhaps it is worthy of a separate thread but I feel that perhaps it creates a kind of clique that isn't that appealing to some. Just a thought.

If you pay attention to the dynamics of that site, you will see it is a cliquey mentality, with a handful of regulars commandering the tone. Others will sit back and look to see who the "populars" are, and when those "pops" take on a cause or mission and attack another member, the wallflowers join them. Survival other there depends on which side of the fence you choose to be on. You either hop on the bandwagon or get driven away. Thats the way they LIKE and WANT it. The recent "heads will roll" comment by the mods shows a VERY controlling and manipulative attitude. I guess when you are a LOSER in your life, you seek out out strong personalities to align yourself with, and then feel you become Strong by association. The men over at Daddys may have a few bucks in their pocket, but they are spiritually POOR and dysfunctional, but seem to have found their niche on a site that GIVES them a voice they dont usually have.

[Guest jimboivyo]

I'm sure you will, and then you'll crawl back and wait for the NEXT Ban.... some people just never Learn

can someone crawl when typing on a keyboard? lol

Me posting only serves as a passer of time. I get to talk about the few guys I like and have seen. I learn about the guys I'd like to see in the future. Nothing ground breaking, but when I see openly false information about something I know for sure, I am going to correct it. I'm guessing that's what put me on vacation from the other board

the events that those guys put together aren't reason enough for me to want to travel to them. I agree that a lot of the folks who show up aren't escorts I'm interested in. more than that it just doesn't sound like fun to me. how odd they must all look out in public places during these group events

[Guest corymonroe]

I sure hope the owner of this site does not agree with you.

Obviously, some posters here have very strong opinions. Maybe both sites have this in common, too. Strongly opinionated generalizations that lump entire groups of people together and damning them to loser status aren't productive. Some of the opinion expressed on this thread reads as bitter and angry. That may not be the intention but that's how it reads.

[Guest josephga]

I think the main page over there the review page pulls in 90% of the traffic. The majority never visits or takes part in the forum. IMO I don't think anything said good or bad in the forums is going to launch or bring down anyone's career. I bet most people that hire have never even heard of daddy's reviews

Your prejudices are showing - again. I think you are intolerant of people who hire for reasons different than your own (purely physical interactions). As I recall, the first time you were timed out over there and spent time on this site, when you came back to the other site, you weren't very complimentary of the posters here! Some of your comments in THIS post sound similar, in fact.

Hmmm. Ever read the Fable of the Sour Grapes?

Sorry charlie, I have NO grapes to be sour. If you know my history "over there" you will know I never strove to be part of the pack, and never cared about escorts for the most part. I found the place interesting at first, but that quickly dissolved when i saw what and who I was dealing with. My comments are solely based on the material that I've READ, and not knowing those people in real life perhaps puts the comments a bit "off-base" but its how it READS. If I wanted to kiss ASS, I could have be OK over there and embraced with open arms, but it was my CHOICE not to, so there are NO grapes, sour or otherwise being stomped here. However your CHOICE to come over here and DEFEND that group clearly shows what side of the fence you are on. And its OK for you to defend the "Hitler regime" that exists over there. If you are happy there so be it, but please dont EXPECT us to accept your version of the Fairy Tale when we know there is another more sordid side to the story. And lastly, dont place labels on ME because I dont SHARE your opinion. Thats a typical Daddy's site move and not appreciated !

Oh come on NC....that was the mantra you used on me over at the other place. now you bring it here. It is MY opinion. When i discussed THIS site over there after my time out, it was simply a re-telling of my issues I had over here, all factual, but I have ALWAYS maintained the tone HERE is more tolerant. I am intolerant of Assholes period, it has nothing to actually do with whether they hire escorts or dog walkers. The period there are pompous jerks, and any person with an ounce of self-respect WONT up with it, as you have seen many of its members leaving. For the select "active" ones that remain, well, thats no surprise when you go down the list of who they are. A bunch of pampered guys from the Old Guard who hold court and "maintain" the kind of site they want. And keep in mind, I walked away from the other site... I wasnt banned for life, so logic should tell you I have nothing to be bitter about.

[Suckrates]

Just the fact that the Mods here have allowed THIS thread to continue, after previously asking us NOT to bring the Drama from the "other site" over here speaks volumes to the differences between the sites. A thread like This would have been LOCKED down over there as it contains "negativity" about the site. The only vioces they allow to be heard are vioces that MIRROR themselves...

And I wouldnt expect the loyal members of Daddys to see it Otherwise, so those of you among us here, we embrace your comments

(but some of us know Otherwise)

For some of us, it's not an 'Us vs Them' or 'Good vs Bad', as you not-too-subtlely paint it.

I follow both sites, and I see strengths on each. THIS is a 'kinder, gentler' site - in part because of the admins, and in part because of who does (and doesn't) post here. On the other hand, there's more talk and information about escorts over there And I do have issues with the other site - and have expressed my opinions there too, both publcily and privately. And yes, I disagreed with you on on some of your attitudes over there too.

But I don't see how trashing the people at EITHER site does anything but stir up animosity.

Lets be clear on ONE thing NC....I didnt start this thread, I just participated in it and gave my opinion. Thats the major problem that the other site maintains. Threads are started, but they only want you to participate IF you subscribe to the "popular" point of view. Otherwise you are dismissed, attacked or nominated for BANNING.... Its the reality of the situation. so if you think commenting on something stirs up animosity, then it probably does, BUT I dont see that as a reason to Censor your comment. Someone will always be MAd at something, but the democracy is in allowing it to be Said without condemnation or reproach..

Well hopefully expressing your anger & bitterness here by jumping on glutes bandwagon (ironically), will serve some therapeutic purpose.

As for your denial...everyone can judge for themselves,
