a)Hence, most boards have two options. Become tolerant of the fact that females may hold and express their opinions and prosper or become "the boys club" and die.
Contrary to popular belief, once ladies leave a board .. discussions die out and it is usually the end of DISCUSSION boards.
b)As for Theatro, being somewhat familiar with ladies behind the spectacular event, I feel dissapointed at the reception Juls got on UG. This is one of very very few ladies who can put together spectacular events in ANY city of this country and the fact that she chose New York as october venue should be welcomed, not trashed.

a) Sorry, but this is total bullshit. UG was more successful when there were less webscorts posting. Go back and look. It's all in black and white. Perhaps the most chilling to discussion is women reading what is posted on UG or in private emails they get their hands on and then reaming the poster out backchannel.
Most of the truly "successful" boards (in terms of discussion) are private and NO ONE can see what is posted: how can you explain that, since they are TOTAL "boy's clubs". Over the years we have listened to MANY suggestions from the supply side to make UG a "friendlier place for women" and then more women would post: EVERY SINGLE TIME not only didn't it result in more women posting, even the women who made the suggestions did post more (if at all).
It is pretty damn clear the webscorts want 2 things from a forum: free advertising and anything negative about them removed. I remember getting an email from a provider who had come on UG, broke the rules by making 3 self promotional posts, had the posts removed and got banned. She didn't understand why this happened, and it was explained to her that she should read the rules and that ad posts were not allowed.
Her response was that the purpose of the boards was for free advertising for escorts.
b) This is also very annoying. She came on here, did not participate in any discussions, and simply placed an ad for her event. Whether you want to accept this or not, the FLAT FACT is that what she did was STEALING FROM UG... period. I'm sorry that when we catch someone in or house trying to make off with our flat panel TV, we don't sit them down and ask f they want a glass of sherry. If you want to run a board like that, go right ahead. But how many of he successful boards are started, run and paid for by escorts? Danger911 - that's a private provider's board so don't front with that. ASPD? Yes, but it's been up and down and gone thru SO MANY owners.... because when the providers actually see what running a board is like, they can't handle the work, complaints, etc. for the lack of compensation and give up.
