just noticed this morning backpage (and possibly cracker as it's not working either) have been seized / shutdown by FBI.

Likewise. Wondering where all the ads will migrate to. Had a quick look around but doesn't seem to be a local alternative that I can find.

Maybe they will go to Craigslist ??

had some american mates telling me about this earlier today, didnt realise it took down the aussie sites as well.

Cracker still running? I've never taken the plunge on a backpage ad, I was about to with one girl recommended by another member on here but we had some compatibility issues :/

Shame. And it is a lot more than just sex ads.

He got caught out, so doesn't want to use it any more?

Pretty much no surprise here. Rats nest of dodgy ads

it was particular good at showing new ML's.

Locanto probably now, already heard craigslist has started closing their personals section, thought it started last year though

They close down a website but can't stop people shooting up their schools.

I would have to be in a desert and dry and bleeding and in a gutter before I wasted my time on Cracker or whatever the other dodgy sites are named this month.
There will always be dodgy sites and fake ads because human evolution never progressed out of many humans believing everything they see and hear and read

haha theres a lot of dodgy ads on backpage but if you look hard enough (especially in the US), you'll find some gems. It will be interesting to see where these ads will pop back up?

Ive had some great punts on backpage. And some shockers, true. You can just walk away though...

Mostly though, it's because sites like 99 have a limited range of advertisers.

I'm assuming locanto will pick up some business.

For sites like this one to take over, the WL need to advertise here.

One of the girls I visited on Cracker sent me this message!

"Cracker.com can't use it anymore I changed to myeden69.com"

Don" know if this is of any help?

At least myeden has a "verified section" hopefully less fake pics

I had a look at myeden69.com
Not particularly easy to filter or search, but not too bad. Looks like there is a rating system and the ability to save favourite ads.

Locanto seems busier than usual but despite a better format it was worse than backpage for sifting through rubbish.

Anyone know of other potentials?

So, I've mostly been looking locally as I'm not back in Syd for a couple of months. But:
au.skokka.com
escortsandbabes.com.au

Both are showing some of the genuine ads (ie providers reviewed on here, ausxxx or PP) that were on backpage previously, including asian WL and the odd ML. For the ACT anyway.

Yeah it was fake ads galore but it served me well when my foot fetish urge kicked as some specialise in it. I never had luck in brothels, either never done before or refuse to.

Same question.

Plus the grey text on a white page sucks!

I’ve used PP for years, but that’s like $600+/hr type of girls. Always had good experience, but I tend to stick the the agency’s that I know have the goods.
Always been reluctant to try the Asian places on SYD99 coz had 2 horrible punts at 533 about a year or 2 ago.

But so far had a few good ones now. Ginza is my next place to try.

You end up paying more and more risk in terms of the quality of the girls

A receptionist of a low budget shop told me 10 to 20% of customer are paying with credit card.

Related to this I guess, the ISG forum has announced that its bank is no longer allowed to accept CC payments for its subscriptions.
