Ya, I'd rather be moving on a bike than waiting on a cold subway platform. From my twitter: Boy people give you funny looks when you're checking out a CitiBike at 4am in 6° weather. Like they've never seen a cheap hooker off to a partying client before. Kevin Slater

I have a great apartment with a playroom and sling. As for outcalls, if CitiBike doesn't go there, neither do I. I occasionally put $20 on my metrocard or take an Über, so sure, let's call my transportation budget $200 a year. Kevin Slater

Thanks! Kevin Slater

Gross. Expenses may not have moved that much. Sure, rent is higher, but ditching the car saved a lot. (My annual transportation budget is now $160 to CitiBike.) Kevin Slater

I have quite a few pages of conversations here. Is there a way to search for all conversations with a particular forum member without searching each and every page? Kevin Slater

Do we have reason to believe they read any of the comments they responded to? Kevin Slater

You can keep blaming the messenger(s), or you could take a deep breath and think for a moment why your decisions are making folk (many folk, as evidenced by this thread) uncomfortable with your site: listing guys without their consent or even knowledge, bedding escorts with the promise of some sort of favoritism, etc. Claiming you've changed your methods based on our feedback while simultaneously belligerently defending said actions shows that you still just don't get it and casts a long shadow over your endeavor and fundamentally your judgement. I suspect people want to hear "we now understand why that was a bad idea" rather than "you're dead wrong, but if it'll shut you up we'll stop". Kevin Slater

Notice on the graph that well over half that year's revenue was from the top three clients. Revenue from all others was actually flat. Kevin Slater

Intercourse, as it were? Kevin Slater

Perhaps not, but that’s a different thread entirely. Kevin Slater

Yes, but that was drowned out by your next dozen posts defending the practice. Kevin Slater

Personally, I blocked your SMSs after the first three spams asking me to join. So clearly this is not foolproof. Kevin Slater

The only other site that I'm aware of doing this is Apollon21, a quintessential scam site and not one to emulate. So one of the ads had bad info, and was live for some period of time without the escort knowing about it. How many others are there, then? Yet another reason why this is a bad idea and another instance that calls the site's judgement into question. Kevin Slater

Don't know that I'm either, but I would hope that even a friend could tell you when you're fucking up. I wasn't aware. I definitely don't know that. Look, I'm eager to see any new site succeed. I have to admit I'm put off by the co-opting of the rentboy name, but that did get you guys noticed. Unfortunately, I think you got that notice a bit before you were ready for prime time. And I wonder if these subsequent missteps seem to be taking away from the needed task of fine tuning the site. And I maintain that the judgement calls leave me leery. Kevin Slater

Wow, the operators of this site seem tone deaf to some really disturbing practices. Extorting free sessions under the guise of a review, using an insecure infrastructure, and posting ads without the escorts' consent all show a true lack of judgement. I'm sort of afraid to see what comes out next. Kevin Slater

On the bottom of any post, you can select report. Or on the top ribbon, there's a members tab, under which appears staff members. Worst case, you could always click the help links > terms and rules, and read the instructions there. But there I go being obvious again. Kevin Slater

What if one were stupid enough to make it something like 1.001? Kevin Slater

I think that would depend on the base of the log. Kevin Slater

Linear. Kevin Slater

I usually quote something prohibitively expensive and move on. I'll have plenty of opportunities for work in Manhattan during that four or eight hour round trip window. Kevin Slater

Sure, sure, big spender. Kevin Slater

I've driven some to hell and back. Kevin Slater

Dunno. I used to keep up on all the minutia when rentboy was around, now I just begrudgingly pay. Kevin Slater

Who do I gotta blow to get a 77¢ tip? Kevin Slater

I think you might want to research the difference between a #fact and an opinion. Contrarily, on rentmen, you have to have the same exact text in each city you visit. Rates different in Atlanta? Tough luck. No sling while visiting SoBe? Too bad your ad says you have one. Can't actually do incalls while in Peoria? Not according to your ad. Rentboy had a fully staffed office in Union Square. You know, the one that got raided. As opposed to rentmen, who now charges $540 a month, on top of your base ad price, to be on the first page in Manhattan, far more then rentboy ever charged. And oh, they also hiked their rates the day after rentboy got raided. Talk about gouging. Kevin Slater
