The once-prolific poster who often visited and later expatted to Rio, and behind the scenes, started a porn / escort site, met a garoto, married him, and both became embroiled in an international espionage and election scandal, is sorely missed. But you can still find him all over Elon Musk’s Twitter.

It’s like the very common late 20th Century PR statement release: “Artist / Actor X checked into Cedar Sinai Hospital due to exhaustion.” 

I'm not the stalker - in this scenario & this forum, you've seen the entirety of my actions.  
I have no alternate user names & Im not hiding anything. I'm not harassing or doxxing people offline, I'm not searching through every online sex forum for clues to find people IRL, nor am I a drooling fanboy for pornstars.  
Also have never contacted mods to silence someone or get them banned.
Perhaps you should suggest "help" to the real stalkers here who are known & creep people out IRL.  wonder who that could be ?
or maybe the hypocrites with very short memories who basically facilitated a mental breakdown for sport - now it never happened ? weird how that works 
 
 

I’ve been relatively heavy the entire time I’ve been in the hobby. All the providers I’ve hired have always been very accommodating without me telling them about my weight. I think most providers are ok with overweight men because they know we most likely wouldn’t be seeking their company if we were fashion models and they would lose majority of clients if they put up a “fit only” requirement

That was  always my impression.
Thanks for sharing your insider's viewpoint and your story.

My experience is all fairly long ago.  I'm not sure how relevant my experience is in the age of Onlyfans, Insta, Grindr, & videochat.  Ive dealt with weight issues throughout adult life.  While others cycle through gains and losses of 30, even 50 lbs, I've cycled through hundreds.
I was fairly active in the urban bear scene 90s, early 00s. I frequented bear bars and events as the gay community was fairly direct in relegating me to the bear & chub scene.  I recall being insulted when I accompanied a very buff friend into Powerhouse in SF.
Chubby-chasers are, imo, much closer to urban myth than we'd like to acknowledge.  I rarely met a chaser who didn't have some fetish interests: feeding, feeling smothered as a bottom, playing with man-tits. I remember one guy who only wanted to tickle the midriff bulge hanging over my belt.  Guys for whom my size wasn't a factor at all were rare. Note that I distinguish between a daddy with 25-30 extra pounds and a genuinely fat guy; muscle cubs with a beer-gut Daddy were not at all uncommon. 
Strong memories: a few different instances of guys who were politely uninterested at 365lbs, but who seemed to not recognize me and pursued me at 230, or 210.  One guy stopped visiting me when I lost weight.. that was surprising.
In hiring, I felt it best to share my size when screening rentguys.  I was only directly rejected a few times, and rarely felt insulted.  I might have written about one here on the board years ago when a couple offering 4-hand massage rejected me in an offensive manner.  Much more common was the pocket veto approach "oh, that's not an issue for me" but failure to respond in follow up, or appointment setting.
While I'm sure I was screened out often, I never had an issue with guys who agreed to an appointment.  No one arrived and said never mind. No one refused acts based on size.  The topic arose once or twice in lengthy or repeat visits - more as health advice, but not in a manner that felt like rejection. 
I was active in hiring in 90s & 00s.  Much less active in 2010s.  My most recent hire was a very well-known guy in Feb 2020 while traveling; 36 hours later, I was dealing with very bad flu symptoms. Nothing since.
So, with that lengthy post for context, my approach was to tell the rentguy in advance, perhaps as a defense against in-person hurtful rejection.   But no real issues once met.
 

I remember Bluto as being big and buff, not fat.

I’m not going to be the one to violate TOS, but in case you’re curious and good with the search function (and even a cursory knowledge of poli-tricks in the last 20 years), his posts here were exposed on Twitter. 

I would caution about listing a posters old and new names. I changed because of a horrible stalker and prefer to not be linked to the old profile. It was ugly. 

for all things Brazil - you’ll find way more information at gayguides.com
unless there are some restrictions at issue ? 

Brazil.
Public transportation in the entire State of Rio de Janeiro (subway, tram and buses) — not just the City — is free for people over 65.
As of December 15, public transportation for seniors over 60 years of age in the City of São Paulo (but not the State) is back in effect.

basically a real time online mental breakdown - facilitated by some very familiar people who shall remain nameless 

It’s gotten to the point where I can almost tell if a brasileiro is cearense, or from Ceará, the state where Fortaleza is. It’s almost an identical tribal look. There are quite a number of cearense now working in the southern states of Rio and São Paulo.
That cearense dialect is a tough nut to crack, though.  Imagine learning English in the NE USA and then being thrown to fend for yourself in rural Mississippi. It’s kindasorta like that. 

I actually loved this movie (a fictional tale), until the ending. The final scene was not very believable at all. The rest of it could’ve very well been a documentary. Very attractive casting as well. 10-15 years ago (when the film was released), the jineteros / pingueiros in Havana did indeed look like that. But now? Um… not so much.
I believe it’s still currently available for purchase / rent on Amazon Prime Video.
Synopsis:
A married male prostitute (Reinier Diaz) and a soccer player (Milton García) who works for a debt collector begin a dangerous romance.
The Last Match (2013) - IMDb
M.IMDB.COM The Last Match: Directed by Antonio Hens. With Milton García, Reinier Díaz, Jenifer Rodríguez...  

I have liked the title of this autobiography. 

Gents,
Just got to say that I'm really grateful that this site exists. I joined it to deliver a warning of a bad experience I had with an escort (without meeting) but I've made sure to give other contributions to this site with reviews of positive experiences I've had with escorts.
Just now though, I wanted to make contact with a new "escort" and decided to check him out here. Whilst waiting for any feedback on my 411, the profile got suspended and someone replied letting me know that it was an instaguy (so probably a fake profile).
The fact that I have this site as a resource to help verify guys is really reassuring and I'm glad I can add my little bit to it too. 
 

you know - if it was Riobard, there would surely be S Park videos
oh wait -
 

Yes, they are certainly handsome. I want to give a big prop to  Peralta Silva for reaching out to me. He's such a nice guy, and very professional.  He takes his OF business seriously, unlike the one in Sao Paulo that played me. I  have had no issues with OF models based in  fortaleza and other cities in NE Brasil. They always deliver on the custom videos. But OF models based in RIO and Sao Paulo are a different ball game. Lots of fakes, gamer studs, and flakes, making big promise and  not delivering on that promise. I actually really like that guy in Sao Paulo that played me. There was no need to pull that crap on somebody who was planning on being a repeat customer. Don't make promise you can't keep, and stop playing games.
 
OF team solution to fixing the issue is to suspend my account. Wow, OF team were actually surprised that I wanted my money back. They have crazy charge back policies. You basically are not allowed to get your money back from models that played you.  I feel bad for the honest models back in Fortaleza, Natal, and Recife, that take their OF business seriously, and don't try to play games with customers. OF is punishing honest models like Peralta Silva, and few others that actually deliver on agreed upon custom request videos. Now I'm not able to send tip to OF guys in NE Breasil who work really hard at putting a good striptease shows for their loyal fan base. So the moral of the story is,  only do business face to face with guys in Rio and Sao Paulo. No sending in tips for agreed upon video requests. There are just way too many flakes and fakes trying to pull a fast one over you.

Nope. You’re just a retired academic blowhard with endless disposable time to troll the gay sex trade message boards — and to doxx other board members who aren’t interested in communicating with you offline.
 

I'm confused - are you Riobard ?

and due to the need to be extra extra at all times while trying to insert street references et al to sound current - the end result is an incomprehensible mishmash of faux academic nonsense that native English speakers ignore 
the garotos don't stand a chance 

It’s like the very common late 20th Century PR statement release: “Artist / Actor X checked into Cedar Sinai Hospital due to exhaustion.” 

imagine what the poor garotos must put up w from him ?  
my guess is at double or triple price, they still want out asap

I have no doubt you have more accurate information.  
I just know these forums are like oxygen to him & he can't not react - so perhaps it's a temporary ban where he can't post.
he made it clear he could sign on there, yet doesn't post.  
and we all know about the lack of impulse control, among other things
