RM is supposed to show a "in X days" indication when someone has put a city in their future travel locations. I don't think a lot of guys notice it, though.

As noted, webforums are a bit old-fashioned. Also, it's a bit dicey for providers to engage a forum like this. There's a few members that get antagonistic with providers who advocate for themselves and interacting with them at length can only hurt the provider's own image. A few guys like Juan Vancouver could do it well, but for many there's more risk than benefit.

Changing a well trademarked logo design to something that can't be registered as a trademark lifted from another source (possibly without any compensation to the originator) seems exactly like the genious level business marketing we've come to expect from Mr. Musk.

I enjoyed the first season. I'm kind of a sucker for shows set in Atlanta, especially when they use the local locations well. Seeing the Silver Skillet and Colonnade show up was fun for me personally. And nobody ever called the Perimeter "the 285" which is a cardinal sin in my book. The "defective detective" trope is a bit overdone, but they use his backstory as a product of abuse in the foster care system to good effect. The dynamic with his cop girlfriend also being a product of the system was well done. Sadly some of the episodes were frustratingly poorly executed. The episode with the software company conspiracy stands out as particularly bad, especially because the resolution had no implications outside of that episode. They also had a couple big thematic swings that fell short. The cold case episode where the murder of a black family was covered up by the local police could have been a centerpiece for the season. It was arranged too soon in the season, and it seems the story was trying to take a jim crow era crime story from the 60s but pull it into the 90s to allow for the main plot to take place today, leading to some jarringly anachronistic plot points. Overall, I liked it. It probably shouldn't have been a network series, given the limitations they impose. Hopefully, if it is still renewed for another season after the writers strike, they will have a chance to mature the writing a bit better. Still it's worth a watch.

Just have a box of Francia's finest from the Ralph's for their poolside imbibing. If they want something else then they shouldn't show up empty handed.

Just because you, in your fairly arrogant opinion, can't imagine it, doesn't mean it doesn't can't exist. There is one operating in Saint-Eustache since 1971. Like many of the drive-ins that existed in my childhood, it also doubles as a flea market. There are several surviving drive-in theaters or cine-parcs across Quebec, not just this one.

Speaking for those two lakes upstream, could you try to keep the smoke on your side of the border? Or at the very least make it maple syrup scented?

I don't get the "confusion" over this use of they/them. In my work, I often correspond with production and other colleagues overseas, where the names are not obviously gendered for Westerners. They/them is perfectly gramattical in this context and intelligible by everyone in the conversation without having to go into gender inquiries. Honestly, many Asian languages do not have gendered pronouns, so they often make errors translating into English. For example: "Ngoc Quan is preparing the PPAP documents, they will send it to me by week's end. "Nakayama-san requested that I send them a presentation for the Penske account last week." Using they/them for non-binary people is no different in my understanding than using it in cases where their gender is not specified or unknown.

Not confused at all. They/them/their have been used in a singular gender indefinite sense since Shakespeare. Honestly I prefer that over newly constructed pronouns.

I wouldn't mind such a subforum. I haven't picked up Diablo 4 yet, but I did recently plow through Jedi: Survivor (RIP Rick the Door Technician). Mostly Xbox console here, some retro gaming, but need set up a new rig for that.

The impeccable George has had his account deleted and his history purged. I wonder what led to his flouncing.

There is a pattern of new posters that join up and respond to old threads with some generic sounding response. These responses will often end up with an embedded link to some shady site tangentially related to the topic (for example a thread on crypto might get a link to some third rate exchange, or recently a thread on social media earned a link to a site selling reddit and twitter accounts). The poster will sometimes post something generic once or twice before finally dropping their link, but This spam approach is weird to me because I don't see an obvious means of getting paid for posting these links (no apparent means of tracking when the links are clicked), and these posts appear to be human generated (not obvoiusly written by an AI). I don't get the how these spammers get enough traffic to make the effort worthwhile. Seeing as there is this pattern, is there any way of curtailing or blocking this behavoir? Maybe something that requires admin approval for new accounts making posts with hyperlinks?

If they ignored the beach flags and went out in to the water, they're flipping idiots! Going in the water if there are red or double red flags up is just asking for trouble.

Has anyone tried a true VPN instead of the proxy sites?

I haven't used that site much. The ads are relatively sparse in the allowed description and photos. The search options are also pretty limited, only by city with a hashtag filter. I can see it being pretty frustrating in a bigger metro.

It looks like RM has thrown the switch on the new UI again, I can't revert back to the old version.

Judging from the actions by several people over the years to keep the review site and forum alive, from Hooboy and then Daddy, and now RadioRob, there is certainly a core community. The concern when certain frequent members have gone silent or when people learned of their passing is also a factor in my mind. Every club/community/organization has people at various levels of engagement, some are outliers and only engage on a superficial level, and for them it's not really a community they've invested in. Others are daily contributors who would feel a loss if this space were to disappear.

It's another site based out of Europe, I think. It looks like it's associated with romeo.com. The ads seem better quality but little traction in the US.

Oh sweet summer child! Yes, RM/RMass is effectively a monopoly in the US market. That's why they've become pricy and inflexible. After Rentboy was seized by the Feds and SESTA/FOSTA was passed there has not been any sites that have been able to establish themselves sustainably. They either start off too restrictive and never get advertisers, or they populate themselves with unpaid ads or scrape other sites and make themselves useless for the clients. Some sites like Romeo and Sleepyboys have better usage in Europe, but never get much traction in US side. Other regions like South America and Asia have other resources that are more tailored for local conditions than RM.

The mintboys profiles are less detailed, and there doesn't seem to be much verification. I think it occupies much of the niche that was left behind bycraigslist and backpage, a lot of the guys appear to be trying it as a side-hustle. Escorts can post ads for free, and few are tagged as "premium" in my area. There's also not a lot of overlap between RM and MB advertisers in my area, which might indicate the site doesn't generate great leads for the more professional providers. It might vary more in different regions, but I don't think it's a good resource if you're not in the bigger cities.
