I have been out of town off and on, so I haven't been able to post as much lately. But I would be very sad to see the plug pulled on us. Perhaps some more advertising of the boards existence would bring in some fresh blood. I am sure that one look at RL's posts would drive away many a lady. What if some of the ladies could post their professional pictures and club performance dates for a limited free time? That way they might be encouraged to join in our little posting community? Just an idea...:-)
Of course, I would like to use this board. I don't look at tuscl.com very often anymore (probably about once or twice a month), but it's always nice to look at and add to the discussion. Now if you banned Romantic Lover, that would make it much better just by doing that.
I always used to take a glance at the board if I was on internet and just messing around. However, I see most of the posts are always from "Romantic Lover" anymore for the most part. Since all he posts is stupid crap I just don't really bother anymore. So I don't know. Don't really care.
Just thought of one more idea, how about the ability to hide threads started by certain names or users? For instance if you didn't want to see any discussion threads started by "unnammed" then none of those threads would appear. Is this idea practical?
The Board has been and will alway be redundant - same ol'stuff posted and reposted. After a while any regular here will have read it all, get bored, and drift off to other things. The Board needs some new blood, but maybe the economy has reduced the number of "recruits." Any thoughts?
After 1 1/2 years the posts from certain people get very old and redundant. The clean and sober posts are OK but I can almost predict what they will say. Romantic Lover posts are most tiresome and I can predict what he will say. I basically use TUSCL for the reviews which are excellent and comprehensive and look at the discussion board as an afterthought.
I tned to look at discussion board about once every three or four days and the reviews about once every two days. This is down from my earlier frequency of once per day.
Here's an idea I thought of, don't know if it's practical or not. Have the ability to select, click, type etc. on a user's name to ignore/ban posting to your threads. In other words the creator of a thread can ban certain posters by name. I don't know if this would be easy or practical to do. What does the founder and anyone else think? It'd be a way to cut out unwelcome posts sort of like stopping an annoying kid from interrupting an adult's conversation. Is this practical?
It seems to me we run in cycles here-for what it's worth, the club boards are a little slow right now as well. Could be the time of year or the economy but I think part of the blame has to do with the entire concept of the board itself. We can't just decide who should post or who shouldn't, registered or unregistered there will always be flamers and unapologetic misogynists on this forum. The rest of us have to either ignore or look past it if we want to have any reasonable discussion of relevant issues. Sadly, dancer input is at an all time low right now and I don't see that changing since several regular female posters have tried 2 or 3 times now to contribute only to be disgusted by above-mentioned flamers. This board is what it is, it's far from perfect-but there is no perfect democracy. I would hate to see it go away.
The problem is the two-three flamers and trollers who keep posting the same crap. Let them know that if they keep posting the same old useless, miscogynistic garbage and insults to those of us who enjoy going to a strip club now and again, they'll be banned.
Founder, if you do get to the point of pulling the plug, please consider making the board so unregistered people can post. The board provided a healthy way for people to vent.
This is interesting. I've never seen the Board get this slow. Is it the economy with cut-backs in club visits and, thus, reduced customer interest? I've cut way back.
I'm new and I think the board serves a purpose but if it means wading thru countless negative postings from 1 particular poster then what is the point?
Cannot the posts from the 1 or 2 A-HOLES just be deleted and spare us sane ones???
Whoa, just a second. Why the sudden despair? It looks like the board hit a dry spell, but that does not mean we should end it. Give it a few days and we will see what happens when the traditional high school and college mid-winter breaks are over. A lot of guys have daddy duty February 13-20. Give everyone a chance to get back before we pull the plug.
I didn't even know it existed till recently. Now I check it often, but there are those that I wish would just stay away. I say keep it going for awhile before shutting it down.
Wow...case and point founder..this is a blast from the past...a tuscl treasure if you will.
Members to day can bump historical threads like this one damn near 12 years ago and see that tuscl has always been the same...hell it sounds like tuscl is more alive than ever
I don't really understand all of the desire for moderation on the board. One man's trash is another man's treasure. I agree that there are a few people that seem almost universally disliked but there is an ignore button.
The lack of organization is part of the charm. It makes it possible to stumble on a brilliant diamond amid the rubbish.
Realistically, how informative can a national board be. The reviews are potentially helpful if you are traveling. But the one or two times I've asked for advice on a particular area I got mostly BS but a few helpful comments.
It seems to me that changing the board is a solution in search of a problem done largely to satisfy people that complain. Let's just go with the flow!
I think the history is important and it does help to continue old threads. I also feel that any moderation will make things worse, more negative, and ultimately more like Stripper Web, which is the way most of the internet its.
Like the invention of the printing press, the introduction of the TUSCL board is considered one of the most important innovations in the history of mankind. History will show that the TUSCL board enabled the mass-distribution of the The System which, in turn, has enabled generations of men to successfully pay for sex.
Vm takes the opportunity when Juice is fingering the pussy of that Latina dancer we met there in March 2017 to slip something something into Juice's Four Loko. :)
back in the day founder and me hit some clubs together. he flicked lit cigarettes at strippers and pissed in the dressing room.
we got kicked out but he's been my hero ever since.
I skimmed thru a few comments and several said the same thing - there’s only so much you can talk about strip clubs so it’s the same old thing
Let’s face it, this may be called TUSCL, but it’s now a community to talk about culture, the arts, sex, politics, current events, mathematics, and society in an unmoderated and frank way
Maybe not what founder envisioned, but maybe not all bad?

Please don't take this away from us
That was a ducey - I guess the invention of the smartphone in 2007 and subsequent proliferation helped increases board-traffic drastically.
I guess the smart phones and tablets made the board come Alive
Crazy how technology has changed tuscl for the better

How about an edit feature???
I find the clunkiness of the board kind of brilliant!
Don't try to make TUSCL great again, just keep TUSCL great! ;)

How quaint!

I can't believe how close this board almost never happened

We need tuscl to help us bet away from DejaVu style clip joints and to venues as good as the best of Tijuana.
