"Anybody notice CL?"
 
The adult services section says "CENSORED" and Audult Gigs is gone. Looks like Craig caved to the pressure.

"So much for free speach."

Clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed. CL has been a for-profit entity since 1999 -- check out the FAQ section:

Q: Is craigslist a nonprofit?
A: No, craigslist was incorporated as a for-profit in 1999.

you can start up your own webserver, pay for web access, and hand it out for free, see how long that lasts

free speech is alive, but you have to do it yourself

post under another's website, its their rulez

Can't they still just post in therapeutic with just a very plain vanilla add?

They also seemed to have taken a passive/aggressive approach to Casual Encounters as well. Tried posting a VERY Vanilla ad and while the system says my ad is on line and active, it is no where to be found in the listings. Probably will take some time for the dust to settle on this one.

They did a big story on it.. HLN News, loos like RB will get flooded soon again by the CL rejects.. And that will just add to more of the B & S, track like Nasty Hoes to the site..


LE may also be directing focus to RB soon as well..

   That may be true.

RBs servers are located in a foreign country not affected by American laws.

And noone knows who the owners are.

That's a big contrast to CL.

There are webmasters all over the country right now who are going to try and fill the void.

I've noticed a large influx of new and unreviewed talent. With the Vacaville stings goin on it just makes me hunker down and stick to my few ATFs.

Play often but safe my brothers

Always searching for the next great nut!

At least he has left the international boards alone. Think I found another likely suspect for my Oct/Nov visit to Vallarta!

   And now they are requiring a "Phone Authentication" of your account to post in the Casual Encounters area. Bummer!

Have actually had some luck over the years there, it tends to be a real shot in the dark, but pulled through nicely twice in like the last 3 years.

However, I won't be giving them any phone numbers to place an ad...

Quite frankly, it's their prerogative to opt out whenever they feel like it, and so they have opted out.

There has always been adult sites to advertise on. Now those that frequented CL just need to build an equivalent on their own. It would be simple if someone had a mind to do so.

CL graduated from free postings to low budget over night. Now adult exists no more. Why? Because it was abused. Big Deal. Who loses? The pimps? The abusers of their system? Oh well. Shit happens, time to move on.

It was cheap advertising. Before being cheap, it was free.

As the old time adage goes... you get what you pay for! Cheap advertising isn't obligated to anyone. Free advertising is less.
