Is that like crank calling? Kevin Slater

I suspect they'd be reviewing all new submissions going forward. Kevin Slater

I'm totally speculating here, but I suspect that as long as they're clearing out rates from the ads' text, they're removing phone numbers and links external websites as well. That way if they decide in the future a need to remove phone numbers, they can do it with a flip of a switch (hide that field) and not have to review every ad again. And that's the day I seriously consider pulling my ad. Else they'll mimic M4RN's (may she not rest in peace) slimy trick of leaving the ad up but with no contact info when the advertiser stops paying. Kevin Slater

A friend took such a pic of me. Yeah, it really doesn't work for balding 48 year olds. Kevin Slater

Basically it's when he shits on your carpet. Kevin Slater

If so, I think you're supposed to dye the bills and hide them somewhere. Kevin Slater

Oh yeah, I think it is snapchat and not instagram like I said earlier earlier. I can't keep up with the younguns. Kevin Slater

It's a filter that one of the social aps (instagram, perhaps?) offers. Kevin Slater

Why would they reach out to their customer base when they can just remove ad content with no explanation whatsoever? Kevin Slater

I'm rather suspicious. You never hear any firsthand accounts from any other their customers. Kevin Slater

Probably not a great idea. Kevin Slater

You could park your truck in Jersey somewhere and transit into and around NYC. Seems like it would be a shame to go on a tour of the east coast and skip the biggest candy store of 'em all. Kevin Slater

But then you'd have to memorize the phone number, yes? (There should be a feature send to last text thread.) Kevin Slater

Good point. Hook-up sites tend not to offer phone numbers, reviews or have rent in their names, but one could argue that removing prices simply makes rentmen a hookup site. Kevin Slater

I do that, but the text from the guy looking to spend $17 still wakes you up. I don't want to touch my ad for fear that'll put it on top of the edit pile, but once they do remove my rates I'll add the blurb about checking out my website for rates. That'll cut down on the literate lookieloos. Kevin Slater

The 'clippings' add-on in Firefox is a great time saver as well. Kevin Slater

I don't think financial benefit is necessary. I think so long as they end up on the corner, whoever got them there turned them out. Kevin Slater

Shit. I expect they'll make their way to editing them out in NYC soon then. Which will suck. 47 calls a day from guys who somehow find it easier to call me at 4 am rather than just look at my linked website (and wanting to pay $49.95). Kevin Slater

Huh. A spot check here in NYC is still showing prices typed into ad copy. Kevin Slater

I believe the phrase is "turned him out". Kevin Slater

Abel Rey? Kevin Slater

Filling in the hole left by craigslist personals? I knew CL personals was all about filling the hole! Kevin Slater

Only about 472. You'd have to be way more specific (race, age, attributes...). Kevin Slater
