There are a few important changes that are in the works that I wanted to let the community know about so that there are no surprises and that you can properly plan for them.  

1. Sometime before the end of the year (most likely in November), there is going to be an update to the Invision Power Board (IPB) software which will require users to login with their email address instead of their display name.  This means if you have to login to the site, you would type in your email address to access the site once that update is applied.  Once logged in, your email address will not be shown anywhere.  You current username will continue to be used once logged into the site to view and post.    
    
2. With the October release of IPB, it will introduce a new feature that allows admins to prune older private messages that have not had any replies within a certain amount of time.  We currently have over 1M private messages exchanged by users going back for 20 years.  This takes up over 1000MB of space within the site's database.  I plan to use the new feature to prune messages that have not been replied to within 5 years.  If you have older private messages that are important for you (for sentimental purposes or contain helpful information), please be sure to save an offline copy for yourself.  You could also simply just reply to the message again so that it has recent activity.  That would automatically exclude it from being pruned.
    
3. As part of my resiliency planning, I've been trying to figure out how the site would continue to operate if something happened to me.  We've seen what happened when Daddy died...  if we don't have someone who understands how to run a website and how to maintain the IPB software, we could find ourselves in a bad place.  Finding people that understand all of this is difficult if not impossible.  As a result, I've been focused on how to remove this dependancy.  My plan is to have the site moved to being hosted by Invision itself.  They would take care of all of the underlying server technology and ensure the platform is compatible with the software.  Any updates could be applied from the Admin area of the site without needing to understand about the rest of the stuff under the hood.  Sometime before the end of the year (most likely in November), I will need to schedule a day or two to take the site offline for the migration to ensure we don't lose any data from the time I start the export until the time it's migrated and restored.  Having Invision host the site is somewhat more expensive than what we're doing today, but I think it's a critical step to ensure the site's continued operations should I get hit by a bus or something similar.  

I don't have specific dates yet for the above changes.  The first two changes are dependent on the IPB software being released and me being able to test them successfully before applying.  The last change will need to be coordinated with the Invision hosting team to make sure they have someone available on their side to handle the import after I finish exporting our data.  

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask below.  

Oh 😥 I hope that @RadioRobstays healthy. This site is really well put together. 
thanks for all your work. I wish I knew coding ir something to help. 
be well

Canada is going back to February 2020 on October 1. No more vaccination requirements, no more random testing, no more quarantine, no more ArriveCAN, no more masks on planes and trains.

Yes 👍 is going to be great 

I am traveling there in December 🤣🤣 

Nothing/ no one compares to the Montreal boys, ( actitud and looks) I skipped Adonis since they guys there*bites tongue*

 As a big plus I need to strength the economy and  social USA/CA relationships 🤪😜🤪

One thing to consider about these rent boy saunas in Spain or Brazil. It only takes one to make an evening. Some of my more memorable experiences have been on days when the pickings were lean.

Agree with that  assessment. I have my Barcelona/Thermas trip all set for the 1st week of  November. If I am honest I am going to look (mostly) for providers. I will enjoy the city sightseeing,but it will be a 75/25 fun/tourist 

I found this very cheap internal airline so I may visit Zurich. I hope I can find some other locations with providers closer to Barcelona. 
especially now that:

- the Euro and the Pound are leveled up -with the $

- we are in-between pandemics ;/ 

- the political climate it may become more volatile next year  

so in few words: enjoy while I can 😳🌞👀

Why not just use your ATM card and draw a small amount of Euros when you get to Europe and pay for everything else with plastic?

A lot of credit cards don't charge a fee overseas and you don't need to worry about being out anything like if you lose the cash and it's a better way to keep track of your spending.   In restaurants it's a lot easier to just tap the phone against their reader than to wait around for the waiter to bring you change and in London when riding public transport it is so much easier just tapping the phone against the reader than having to put money on the oyster card and dealing with that and getting a refund on the balance when leaving the UK.

I was in London in July and the only cash I spent was the cover to get into a club and I was in Paris last week and the only cash I spent was to pay a provider.

I also like using a credit card if it's a place I return to because I enter everything in quicken and I can type something in the memo field and when I go back to the city just do a search in quicken to find the name of the restaurant

You answered the question,  the providers.

I have trip planned but I am confused on their travel restriction. I can do a PCR test.

But as far as vaccination is concern I have had my 'booster shot' in November 2021.

Their website says:

Vaccines are valid from 14 days after the last dose up to 270 days. If more than 270 days (9 months) have passed since receiving the last required dose of their COVID-19 vaccine, U.S. citizens must show proof of having received a booster shot. The booster shot certificate is valid since the day it was administered.

I don't understand the last part. My booster shot is past 270 days but are they only talking about the 270 days for the second dose of the vaccine?

it looks like if your last vaccine dose is over 9 months, you have to show the booster, that is valid since the day that was administrated?

where did you find this? I am going to Barcelona in November so i keep checking travel restrictions..

Also, the US airlines usually advise their US travelers what is required for the destination country and what is required for you return to U.S

Thanks, everyone, i will look on the wise one since i want to buy some Euros in advance now the is equal to the $. 

I just checked and 1 euro 1 dollar so that is a bargain. i may not be looking to save in volatile market, i am NOT financial savvy ;(

but if i can buy some Euros while is this rate, i can throw them all at Thermas

i may check financial thread for any tip on buying Euros in advance

I've never used a WISE ATM card, but looking at their terms it seems like it would be just as expensive to use as many bank's cards since they charge both a fee for every transaction after a fairly low monthly amount AND charge a nominal currency conversion fee. 

My recommendation is to do more homework before you take a trip.  You might already have a bank account with a bank that has fee-free ATM access in certain countries.  For example, if I go to certain bank's ATMs in Mexico I don't pay a fee when using my Bank of America debit card.  That being said, I think BofA used to also offer no currency conversation fee but I think those days are over.  (I haven't traveled internationally since COVID started so I don't know what the current status is.)  If you don't have a bank account with good international currently policies, consider opening an account with a bank that will offer said benefits and then simply put enough money in that account prior to your trip that you won't run out of money.

Also, consider using credit cards whenever possible.  A lot of credit cards now don't charge a currency conversion fee, so it's not only cost effective to use your credit card but it also negates the need to visit ATMs multiple times. 

Thanks. I will read your recommendation. I  think is wise to skip WISE 😆

I am going to Barcelona but in the past I had issues with the amount/limit of  cash  that an ATM can give you. Ive need more cash in bar to tip the dancers, but  the atm only allowed me $400 ( I will use  that in an hour with a hottie) 🤪

I did open a Capitol 360 checking  acct so when my bank reached a withdrawal limit I used the Capital ATM card 

I  also use Capital one CC that has no international fee. I read that Europe is going cashless to keep SD but the escorts want cash.

I would try one of those money apps like CashApp or Venmo  

Has anyone used the WISE ATM card ? 
I am always looking for ways to have acces to cash while on my trips. 

I am really bad at keeping track of the cash while I am out of the states.  Like by 10 pm I run out of cash  so I try the ATM then is a big fee or a limited in how much one can withdraw. 
so I friend recommended the Wise card to star buying Euro 

any suggestion?

thanks. 

Hi 

Does any knows about places in or around  Barcelona to hire providers? I am all set for a November trip  

I know Thermas is a must go but since don’t know what to expect is any other clubs or places were you can meet providers. Either in Barcelona or a city close by?

I read there are a lot of saunas and bars but I prefer meeting with providers

Any tip would be appreciated as crazy as it may be , but always involved chaperos/strippers/escorts? I will report back and update everyone  

Thanks 😊😇😎

What are the current requirements to travel from US into Canada?

He he 🤣 😂😂😂

I wanted to be back as soon as I left 😕

To travel there you just need ArriveCan were you will upload your COVID vaccine. No test coming in or getting out. 
i have a bunch of miles from AA so is my airline of preference. I used  VeriFLY to add my selfie and passport, that really expedited the trip. 

Is the Campus moment. And some of those dancers weren’t around on my last trip. 

Thanks 
@PatrickTG for keeping track of the names. I was too wasted to even remember their names. but you met the good ones:

Mathieu, baseball cap backwards ,is such a sweat guy with huge and beautiful instrument. And he is so gorgeous with his long blond hair. 

Zayne/Zane a dream come true, beautiful pretty boy. He is very difficult to hold on to it. As soon as he finishes one dance someone else grab him right back in the back Another sweetheart. 
Gabriel: he didn’t have beard when I met him. But he is so hot and such an awesome guy.

glad we all are enjoying it. I hope keeps the momentum so we can all have a piece of the 10+ boys. Like he said all sizes and types

I was going to ask about this provider. If he is like his pic/stat it will fall under too good to be true?

I am willing to take one for the team since he is so my type but he only responded Okeeeeey. Twice, with no much details. 
any one? Should I keep trying?

Can you tell us more about Campus in the afternoons, especially on Wed/Thu? In the last several years, there have been few or no dancers at that time.  There are hints of improvement in your report -- would like to be sure I'm understanding correctly.

No much going on at Campus before 9 pm. And is pretty empty on Wed/Thursday before 10. Like I mentioned there may be 2 or 3 dancers  around  8:00. So I stopped going there before 9 pm the rest of my stay. I hanged out at the gay cafe outdoors. Oh the dancers told me that if the get to the club after 10 they have to pay $20 and if they get there by 11 is a higher fine so the club has enough dancers by 10 pm. 

I took one of my regulars to have dinner and it was quiet a fun experience since we went to this restaurant with a large gay crowd and he is a stunning 6’3”  so I was enjoying the attention that he generated and he is, on top of that, a lovely guy so he was focus on me he eve didn’t notice all the drooling and how the waiter was hitting on him. 😎
it was so funny and cute  that he ordered the biggest steak ever at 8 pm and I got some salad lol. It was truly a pleasure seeing him devouring that meat with such gusto. 

Side note: two of my fave ones from last trip didn’t dance the weekend I was there so I contacted them by phone, I get phone/SM for the good ones. So my two “exs” I just paid for their Uber to come to my hotel   I know sounds too good to be true. But after 2 years lockdown virus and riots I decided to live my life at the fullest, I still remember kicking myself for all those years that I didn’t have any provider since I am a single man. if you guys want to know about travel and hotel let me know. 
but I recommend Hotel St Andre almost in front of Campus. Or Hotel st Dennis I bit further but good price. 
There are more luxurious ones but they are not that close for a Wed/ Sunday trip. And I didn’t even bother with the Hyatt one since I was able to get a room at St Andre 

I used my ArriveCan with no issues. the only thing I wish I did earlier was Nexus, they didn't have any delay in their way back to the states. I almost missed my flight with how slow was YUL and customs to get to my gate.
Also, MPV was almost non-existent in general, with only one vaccination station and St Catherine and most of the time the nurses were outside. Glad to forget about the virus panic for a while and since I don't go to bathhouses and I am vaccinated it was all good
I went to Taboo on Thu/Fri but I gave up, as much as I love that place , and like to support them with my patronage , they don't have enough dancers, like 2 or 3 at the most so patrons leave quickly. and the Sat bartender is not that nice so I didn't go on Sat or Sun I will keep going on future trips but they need to get dancers.
The same with Stock Bar, the same 4 dancers for the past 3 years, they are all nice and good looking but Stock is so big that it is few people it looks really bad and empty, they only days I saw it almost full was on Ladys night, Wed, and Friday so I focused on Campus, that it was quite a lot with all these new dancers.
with Expose, they have a couple of cute twinks but not the type I like, I had a dance with one, but it was just okay, Also, they hang out outside the bar so when you walk in, the bar looks empty. 

i had only one RentMen, it was just ok, by Friday i knew that it was better to stick to Campus. 

Campus finally allowed me to pay with CC. but has to be at least $30, so I usually invited the dancers to reach my 30 and save the cash for the backroom, dancers usually asked for just bottled water or Red bull. As a big fan of dance in the back the cash issue sometimes is tiring, so this is what I did: I called my main bank to extend the ATM withdrawal amount, take it money before and after midnight, and brought a lot of cash, I am not a fan of carrying too much cash while traveling. USA/CA is pretty safe, I was more worried about losing money by being reckless. I also, open one of those online accounts with Capital one, that doesn't charge foreign fees, and ordered a debit card in advance. 
I am glad that I prepare enough cash to have around. So I can get some extras from my fave ones. first, I asked "can i ... this? and when they said yes, it was a Lil negotiation, of course, they want to get the most out of the situation but I just told them that the rest will be in extra tips before the dances, most of them accepted, and once I got a good reputation of tipping what I promised the rest of the boys were nice; only one guy, in the afternoon shift, in Campus, change amounts "after" but it wasn't a big deal. the rest of the 12+ dancers for the evening were, very good and accommodating. Oh boy, were they, TBH I had a blast. 
and repeated like 4 times with this new blonde boy, 19, stunning. Glad we got to get friendly with each other because he was always in the back so it was hard to find him free. So at least 5 more dancers were all night in the back, as soon as they fishiniseh a session, someone else pick them up. they didn't even make it to the main floor. I was able to spot the ones I liked going Thurs/Friday because Sat is packed.  
they were some girls, but not as many as I was expecting, and they don't hang out long enough so I didn't even notice them, also, on Saturday they opened another set of private rooms at the right of the stage, but those rooms are only for girls and are not private at all. I know that because sometimes the backroom for the guys was full and I wanted to use those and the dancers told me that are for girls and doesn't have any curtain or privacy. While on the guys' side was HEAVEN 

I hope you guys have as much fun as I did. I love those Quebecois boys and their accents and their laid-back attitude; full disclosure: some of the more pretty ones are not that big if you know what I mean, but they are so gorgeous that kind of fit them in proportions. Of course, they are some huge ones. but I was enchanted by those very young college students types, they were perfect and so sweet. I am coming back one more time this year, after my Barcelona trip.

sorry about my messy writing but if I don't post now, I may forget. Also, the names of the guys are useless since they change their names so I will suggest going there starting Thursday, getting to know them, and have fun.

A quick report until I have time to give more details from my trip 

Right now. This is the Campus moment - the place to go if you are planning or want to visit the Montreal strippers club.  Campus was always crowded, and features at least 10–12 hot dancers on a Friday and possibly more on Saturday. First thing, there are many new guys,including several very young  ones,19–20-year-old handsome boys, with a muscular bodies and rock–solid ass. Some of them, popular ones, were so hard to catch always inside the back room giving dances. I had a blast and rarely went to Stock or Taboo (they were mostly empty except on Lady’s night at Stock)

Campus backroom now has plexiglass doors for the lap dance room. I don’t want to jeopardize anything that happens there so I will say this: ask the boys because you may get it 

At Campus there are guys for all tastes. Pretty boys, build-up guys, the boy next door, all races. Blonde, brunette, red head. tall and short. You name. Is candy shop
On Friday I had at least 6 dances and then repeated my favorite ones. The new guys are there temporarily so I enjoyed them as much as can in case they won’t come back again or they are just doing it for summer. 

beautiful weather, they reopened and upgraded my to-go hotel, hotel St Andre, affordable and with the best location, at least for me that go there for the clubs. The hotel is still getting renovated but the rooms are nice with a terrific shower and new AC system. 

To be continued... 

Just a reminder that it was my experience on a wonderful night and that other people's weekends and tastes may differ.

Just arrived: 

Immigration/flight was a breeze. Beautiful weather

The Village looks better. I will report 

I am bias, I love it here and I already contacted two of my regulars but want to check any fresh boy. 
it seems like Malik may be in town ( I didn’t planned it) texted him to check and schedule a meeting if not I will see him at Campus tonight. He told me he is friend/associate with the new Campus owners. 
I will go to Stock /Cabaret Expose/ Taboo
