If you want to deny that that ad forum is a forum, then fine. I don't care. Call it whatever the **** you want. That is not the issue.

There is a reason escort are paying for those ads. It's because they want people to read them. As I said in my last post, the rules changed in a way that make me much less likely to read them. From the list of threads, sorted by number of times viewed, which you can see here and here, it is clear that many other people are also not reading them much. I will say it again, since it seems not to have sunk in, of the 200 most viewed ad threads, all of them, without exception, are from before the rules changed. People are not reading the ad forums the way they used to, because they are no longer worth reading. That is the issue.
Of course there are less views. It's because there is less on each thread to view...........

A simple explanation of this...........

Under the old system, if I'm on line and an ad thread is posted I'm probably going to look at it........
If someone else posts on that ad thread, I'm probably going to look at it again..........
And if people post on that thread 20 times while I'm on line, every time that thread pops back up to the top because it has a new post on it, I'm probably going to view it...........

If there are 20 people online when this is going on and they all do the same as me, that's 400 views from 20 people..........

Now I've only actually only read the original ad post once, as will probably be the case with the other 20 people on line, so all the other views that you are pointing out are people viewing the other stuff on the thread, not the ad...........

Under the new system the same people, like me, are unlikely to view an ad thread more that once...........

That's why there is such a difference in the view count............
