mod

LOL... Looks like we have some bugs to work out. I will keep working at it.

It could catch on... Would any of the ladies use the webcam feature if I add it or does this not appeal to anyone? It's about 1500.00 (UDD) initially to add and about 200.00 (USD) a month to maintain. We would cover the costs and it would be free to use but we just want to be sure it would get used. We know the guys would love this feature if the ladies used it but no sense having it installed if none of the ladies are interested.

The chat is a open chat (everyone in the same room) but you can make your own room (Private room) and invite people to it for a private discussion or you can make your own public room and in the room title you should include the topic. Often you find yourself alone in a chat room, you almost have to luck out with new chats and find yourself in the room when others are in and having a good discussion. If you log in and wait others will eventually join and you can get a discussion going on but I would not expect (at this time) for the room to be full and over active. Now some of the ladies (if they want to do some marketing) could schedule a chat either daily or weekly and make a room for this (as anyone can create a room in this chat system). If we add the VIDEO system to this it would really give the ladies a serious marketing tool and be entertaining for everyone as well. The discussions in the main room are logged so if someone is doing bad things (Spam, insulting, etc) let me know by PM the persons username and I will review the log files from the chat and remove the person (or warn them depending on what was going on). Same rules apply to the chat (No fighting, slander and stay positive)

I just installed it... give it some time. LOL

To get us started I installed the flashchat system. It was easy to install the chat but the admin features were not so nice.. in fact it may have some quarks so if you have a problem let me know. You will find a link to this in the quick links (Up top) as well as a "Live Chat Room" button (should show up top for everyone as well now).

They use flashchat (The recommended chat system for the software that runs this board) - it appears to have a video module in the works as well so maybe we can install the chat for now and add the video module in beta to test as we go. Cost for the chat system is 5.00 (Seriously) so I think I can splurge and we can try it out here (if I can get it to install that is... not always easy with this system)

We have had a number of requests for a CHAT room to be added here on cerb. The concern I have is it will not be able to me moderated full time as it should be (and they tend to get abused if not moderated). So before making a decision on this I wanted to poll everyone here to see what they would prefer. 1) Text Chat only 2) Instant Messaging only - no chat 3) Video chat (Live video 1 on 1 private rooms with general discussion area as well where you have still images, cam streams or just text chat) 4) No chat at all If you have input please vote or comment below (I would especially like to here if any of the ladies would be interested in this). The Video chat system is VERY expensive so I would have to see a definite interest from you all to choose it... (it requires a flash media server to be installed and is very heavy on bandwidth when the cams are streaming so the monthly costs would be high) but this may be something that the ladies are interested in. I don't think the guys would have the web cams on in the public chat area (just the private 1 on 1 chats with the ladies due to the nature of the business - but I could be wrong). I could see the ladies using the cam chat to screen callers and also as a marketing tool.

They do have a Beta system online for photo recognition http://www.picollator.com/ maybe cowboy has one for porn ?? :)

Ask questions here and look for recommendations!

You have some sort of facial recognition software don't you? LOL... some FBI/CIA crazy stuff that can find these? You must tell me how you do this one day!

The ladies can advertise (Free no strings) in the announcements section and you guys can recommend them in the recommendations section (This is a new feature we have and it really helps you index all the ladies who deserve to be recommended in a nice sortable way).

done. enjoy and spread the word for us! :)

A topic on this in the last few days is in the off topic area. It really doesn't belong in any specific city so it's best to continue the conversation at this thread (Here is the link) http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=4251

I agree and I moved it.

It's too bad we can not put up ads on CL to say ... don't get bait and switched with fake photos. Visit cerb.ca first to find the truth. I tried to put up an ad but it said cerb.ca is a commercial site and not allowed to make an ad. Maybe a information site needs to be made for this (public service?)

My suggestion is do some research on how these things are transmitted and the transmission rates (Risk Level). Asking for medical advise on a escort discussion board is probably not the best place to get good advise. You will find that such things as aids, hepc, etc.. (very bad stuff) is low risk if you use a condom. I agree with loneskater with "more risk of getting something by picking up a lady at a bar and having unprotected sex with her" Unprotected sex is high risk and if the SP offered this to you then she probably has offered it to someone else as well (not wise to continue if this is the case). Unprotected oral sex has lower risks but is still higher risk then covered. Each act carries it's own risk and risk level and condoms do not protect everything. Warts, herpes and some other stuff can be passed even with condoms but if you can not see any sign of infection the risk is fairly low for most (again go to some real heath websites or ask your doctor - the walk in clinics will give you advise as well). Knowledge is your best protection, on a good note we rarely hear any complaints of sti's or std's in the industry being passed (at least not any serious ones) and in 11 years I do not know of anyone who has contracted hiv from a online escort full service provider (or a SP who has HIV). I know street level prostitution is MUCH higher risk (due to drug use, unprotected sex and even rape). Street prostitution is much higher risk and I would always advise anyone to choose a escort over a streetwalker any day.

Server is not crashed from the looks of it... it looks like they are moving the website to a new server or took it offline. These forums draw high bandwidth and can cost come bucks to keep running... most people start them out on a shared server and they are too high traffic and too demanding for that so they are moved to dedicated servers.

Any occupation has risk but the escort business is higher then most because the law makes them easy pray for murderers (and yes the laws that are meant to protect people also make it unsafe for others). The question of escorting being right or wrong is a moral issue (Very Personal and most often religious). The debate of right or wrong stems back to religion so no "line in the sand" can be drawn. Thankfully as time goes on more and more people are forming their own opinions on topics such as this and realizing that what they were taught to be right and wrong is not always correct. This could have been a social worker making a house call, a newspaper carrier or even a tv repair person! .. any profession that a murderer can lure someone to his/her house to commit a crime. Unfortunately women are prayed on (more then men) and because of the way the law is it makes escorts a easy target. This lady had a driver (who supposedly informed the police when she did not show up) because of the driver the police knew where to look for her and unfortunately it was too late by the time anyone could do anything. With better laws protecting escorts this could have been prevented but then again if this guy was going to kill someone better laws would have only forced him to choose someone else and not actually stop the act from happening. It's not the escorts fault or her profession, it's the psychotic murderers fault. I am a firm believer that the reason why religion focus on what is right and wrong (Morals) is to put the "fear of god" into people. When most of todays religions were conceived it was in times of lawlessness and anarchy and those places that had laws were brutal in how they upheld them. Instead of laws (that would require enforcement) it was easier to convince people that if they did wrong and got away with it in this life it would cause them to be dammed when they passed on (and that put the fear of god into people). Religion brought people together to believe in something and give people hope (that is a good thing) but like everything else it was severely exploited and capitalized on and gave some wrong people a lot of power and control causing horrible corruption. Consider the 10 commandments in Christianity they are really what most of our core laws today. Religion is no longer needed for keeping the peace, I am not saying you should not believe in god or any other religious figure I am saying that the morals that religions were built around were included in the religion as an after thought for a way to keep peace. It is not wrong to be a escort / prostitute unfortunately a large portion of society is appalled by it. If you ask those people why they feel this way they will say "because it is wrong"... they did not form this opinion on their own someone told them it was wrong and they believed that. It stems from the religious morals for no one should have sex outside of marriage (a law so people were not getting prego at 14 2000 years ago) now anyone preaching this should look in a mirror... if they had sex with someone before they got married they really are just as guilty (the religion does not have a set number of people you have to sleep with before you are dammed!). If someone has held off having sex because of religion and truly believe in this they have the right to be judgmental I guess as they really have made a conscious decision to uphold what they believe in. Anyone who preaches this and has had sex out of wedlock is as guilty as the prostitutes for breaking this moral law. I find it impossible to have this discussion with someone who has been brainwashed with religion so save yourself a pointless argument and walk away if someone wants to judge you for this. You get random stuff such as adultery and child pron thrown at you as it being all the same and you feel like smashing your head into a brick wall after the debate as you realize you were just wasting your time with someone like that. Back to the subject on hand. This lady died for no reason! She was doing her job (Legally) and was put into a unsafe situation with a psychotic murderer. She was obviously very loved by friends and family (it's very apparent in all the news) and the community is doing some amazing things to help everyone get through this. Just do a search in google news under her name! They had a "escort" car wash where they raised almost 1000.00 they had over 15grand with of stuff given to them to auction off to raise money for her memorial and funeral and the list goes on... It's heartbreaking and horrible in every way but it could have been anyone this guy chose to murder! If it was a social worker doing a house call the media would not make such a big deal over her profession... the reason he profession is being focused on is because controversial moral subjects make good news.

On Saturday, July 5th at Hainstocks Funeral Home her friends did a memorial service but she is being flown back to Niagara Falls where she will be buried and another service was to be held there.

trying to turn this around on the agency for not having a agency escort license from the looks of this news article... obviously has nothing to do with this! ... http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/Edmonton/2008/07/04/6062086-sun.html

http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/story.html?id=d695f882-33ab-4f38-8610-76f748c309a4n I hate posting news clips like this.

A section exists for bait and switch but anyone can post a shill (it could be a girls boyfriend thinking he has a great idea to boost her business, or any number of other reasons it happens). We don't need it... if you are going to believe a post or a recommendation from some new member with less then 20 good posts then your going to find yourself disappointed. Long term members and recommendations with lots of other members agreeing are the ones that hold the value here. Shill posts are not that hard to spot.... when we do catch them with the SAME IP ad the agency I will bad the agency, close the thread and leave a comment about this... would that be good?

I must agree... I am leaning on the shill post side at this time. The fact that no one has jumped in to say they have had good experiences really does say a lot as well at this time.... give top quality service and your clients will write the praises for you (Sills are not necessary) if not then you will not get any endorsements from this site. Now I am not 100% convinced of shilling yet but I would like to hear from anyone who has good comments to make here.
