Not trying to make the forum look bad but here's my two cents according to experience and comments from punting friends IRL.Originally Posted by tan30
I think the problem is that this forum is actually dying. The original founders of this forum may not even be around anymore. Only Sydney and Brisbane sections are mostly active, yet most threads are started by the same bunch of people. It's like living in a post-apocalyptic world where the only surviving engineer built an AI projector to project as many different individuals as possible, therefore whoever is running the forum atm saw no need to spend money on SSL encryption as it is only a bunch of people and shops that keeps it alive.
Many people I know in Sydney who punts normally go onto SYD99 to view rosters. Most of them wouldn't even bother reading reviews because it isn't as exclusive as TNT or PP so there's a chance some of them might be doctored. Even in TNT I found some reviews are doctored as shops or privates see the joining fee as an advert fee that they can make back after posting several reviews of themselves or their lineups. My friends normally try to be friends with the reception at the places they regularly visit and get updates directly. Places where the receptionist just isn't friendly at all and the girls aren't the best in looks or behaviour will get into their "private blacklist".
It's the same in Melbourne - we don't normally share intel in public, we keep it amongst our inner circle. One guy who have tried e.g. Chinese hot bombshell Purple will then in the next day either through word of mouth or private WhatsApp group tell the whole group. Then the whole group depending on their taste will take turns booking the same girl. If the girl stays long in the industry some from the group will be her regular. Punters normally like to keep the best girls to themselves as if she's an official mistress and only share subpar girls with others in my findings.
I was also looking into some of the General threads here and found that the topics are very trivial. It reminds me of Yahoo! Answers back in the days, although now it's mostly replaced by Quora or Reddit. The attraction of forums or discussion boards are no longer there these days as Google provides some really good insights while filtering out info that aren't verified.
If anything I usually avoid toxic conversations online. I know this post might attract some toxicity so don't mind me if I don't respond to negativity. As they say - don't feed the troll any validation. I'll only reply if I see any signs of human intelligence rather than human dumbness or artificial intelligence.
