Because the shop that pay this forum, that is why it is free
don't have shops paying to advertise, you don't have a forum.
This has been going on since the beginning of the Forum.
It's just the way it is.
One useful tip, to view the latest ARs rather than a shop bump ups on "Sort Threads By" select "Thread Start Time" from the drop down menu.
I agree with you Mr Hoof, it's irritating.
However, as others say, it's also a fact of life. And I'd suggest it's not really ad spamming to be fair; it's just re-promoting an old thread.
My work around is to ignore the bumped posts. You know what they're going to say anyway -- "Cherry available now" or "Alice is back" or "Lovely Jessie is working today" blah, blah. It's a 99% chance you've already read the original post.
I look at the LAST POST BY column on the far right and if it's a shop name I move on until I find a last post by a punter.
This is a typical page, I reckon:
http://www.aus99forum.com/forumdispl...r-Report/page3
Of the 30 posts, 20 are bumps from shops. So I only read the other 10. It is what it is.
I also agree with Mr Sibon. I'd happily pay $50 a month to have this AR section free of bumped posts and obvious shop spruikers. We all know who they are.
I reckon the $50 would pay for itself after one successful session, where you've avoided a shop or a girl that clearly wasn't for you (or perhaps anyone else).
What is the actual cost of keeping this site running?
yup that "Sort Threads By" select "Thread Start Time" is a life saver for me.... it's only on the full website on a computer not on the mobile version (unless you select "full site" on your phone browser).
I'd rather not have to pay $50 per month... maybe per year but as LookingForTheOne has said I too am curious how much running a site like this costs!
Coz theres no new girls or new customers anymore....
Learned something new today. This forum is like one of those public toilets with random names and phone number on the wall, but people have to pay to vandalize the toilet and you'd still get a dude answering the phone on the other end lol jks
And some were doing it only to pay off tuition fees. Once they finished their studies and get a boyfriend they don't want to work anymore. It is an unsustainable business model, and if you look at the history of WLs from thousands of years ago it was done by women who either had no other skills or were slaves. They didn't do it just because it could make them as rich and fabulous as Cleopatra in Egypt, in fact they're way below a peasant in the old days.
Anyways, if some shops were to sell at affordable prices I wouldn't be buying into it. Managing one is hell on earth and the amount of work you have to put into the business to keep it afloat is terrible. Not to forget mentioning the marketing medium is very limited as well. Some people don't like what I have to say about doing business with honesty but I will say that so far I've only been regulars at shops that are honest with their girl's appearances and services, and what I can see is the positive effect on the business is that although they're not getting much new customers, they're still keeping all their regulars.
A business like Coca Cola is sustainable not because of new customers but because of its regular customers. Coca Cola only gets new customers once a new generation of humans are born which is decades, but the generation that existed had been consuming Coca Cola all their lives. A brothel may not be as sustainable as Coca Cola but let's use 42G and N5M back when Jessie was managing both - he's always proactive with customer feedback and any underperforming girls gets the boot. Both shops don't give their girls the boot these days but at least they're still trying to maintain customer service like back in the old days.
Then again, who am I to talk about other people's business? A regular customer is pretty much a discreet investor to the business, and those who lost my trust obviously isn't getting my investment support. And how am I considering myself a discreet investor? For every hundreds I spent satisfied with either customer service or WL I write free positive ARs without even asking to be paid commissions or get a discount next visit. That there is free marketing for the business.
Sorry I disagree with your suggestion. This is a free forum that has worked well so far because punters benefit by having access to information while shops pay to advertise their business which in turn gives them exposure to many punters.
If people don't want to see ARs or shop bump up reviews then don't read them. It's that simple. At a time when times are getting tough with high inflation then you don't want to push away punters with more expenses.
