Looking back on your start here...
How do you think the board affects your participation? Did you start out primarily as a discusser, or a reviewer?
I’m curious about this because of the conversation in the other thread about shutting down vip. And how much the front room affects reviews/subscriptions.
——
For me, it was the reviews over the discussion board initially.
I joined the site because I cared about reading reviews. I had applied to a club, and worked for one night. I didn’t realize that it offered $5 specials. That was a rude awakening for me that just because two different clubs share the same name, doesn’t mean they are structured the same.
I also noticed the cost of lifetime VIP wasn’t that expensive. So I bought it, and would use this site just for reviews. It didn’t occur to me to look into any other site features. But one day, two years later, I got a message in my inbox. And that message appeared because I was in the dancer directory. And was what got me to notice the board.

Then I discovered the forums, signed up, and now they are my primary reason for signing on.
For me mostly about the reviews. I travel 30-40 weeks per year so always in search of the next gem
It was actually good-ole Alucard (may he rest in peace) via PMs that suggested I should still write reviews of the clubs I hit - so he kinda motivated me to write reviews and I was kinda surprised there were a good # of other pervs like me out there (whities that like chocolate primarily or at least enough to also like hitting all-black clubs).
So I guess I gotta give a shout out to Lapdanceking himself for having the courage to speak so openly about his hobby even in the face of all the criticism. Plus a shout out to others like MrDuece, who refused to ever call it LDK but instead called them lapgasms. I've learned a ton about strip clubs since and grown fond of all the different contributors who have come and gone while I've been here.
And TUSCL is like an online locker room, I can really vent out here. It's really therapeutic for me personally and I've learned a fuck ton since then.
All the top searches took me to tuscl
I lurked for about 6months then created the notorious JuiceBox69 account
I was a very green and fun loving guy that the board made fun of a lot
I know I know, we all start somewhere. There was once a day when Wallanon had just a single review to his credit lol.
Over the following 10 years, I popped on from time to time if I needed simple intel about a certain area and even paid for a brief VIP at one point (diff screen name). The intel certain got better over time, but honestly my traveling was still limited and so was my clubbing time, so my visits were infrequent.
Then a little over a decade ago I started my own business, which requires a lot more travel. So I came back to the site more frequently, along with some other sites. Finally in 2009 I started to write articles for VIP access and, soon after, reviews. I also found the discussion boards. I was already a semi-frequent club hound by then, but it was mostly limited to the northeast. My horizons have expanded a lot since as my travels have taken me all over the country.
So the reviews are what brought me on, but the Discussion Board keeps me coming back more often and adding intel. I have almost 6 years of VIP time in the bank and could simply consume for all that time without adding another thing to the site, but I enjoy the combo entertainment of wading into discussions and posting reviews.
I did not come back often, but every once in a while I would post reviews to see others reviews and learned how to write them better. Once I stumbled onto some articles and read a couple, I assumed this was some owner of the site or some employee writing these. They were interesting but not that intriguing to me at the time. Several years later I stumbled onto the discussions one day, and lurked a little. Most of it was a bunch of old guys doing a seeming circle jerk and rehashing the same subjects over and over. I was not that interested in participating until I saw the infamous Juicebox69 getting flamed and fighting back. I thought this was pretty entertaining so I lurked more often. After watching this for a while I joined in slowly. The days of the flame wars between RickDugan and Dougster were great!
Juice said "I was a very green and fun loving guy that the board made fun of a lot"
I remember these days. Juice took a lot of heat. He came on here with legitimate questions and some of the older guys thought he was just acting dumb or being an idiot so they flamed him. He started acting out and became a pretty notorious troll and ended up breaking up a lot of the older good ol boy club and helped open up the way for a less opinionated and more rounded set of posters. This was all great entertainment and was great to watch. These good ol boys had it coming because they were pretty mean at times, I respect Juice for sticking it out and still being here.
When I started visiting clubs again more frequently, I came back to check out the site and it hooked me. I started posting once in a while and Juicebox69 and Bj99 encouraged me to participate more. So here I am.
At first I avoided the Discussion section because I thought it would be filled with creepy slobbering old perverts. But then I started reading threads and learned that not all the posters slobbered. Around this time I was becoming a regular at the Penthouse and Flight Club. The discussions often contained useful information for a new clubber, like "Never pay in advance." I received a TUSCL education that helped me to deal with strippers and to avoid getting ripped off too badly. After months of reading discussions I started to make comments. Then I began posting my own discussion topics. I developed a TUSCL persona that tried to be funny and I became friends with many posters on this board.
It was difficult to get bashed like i did. I honestly did almost stop posting several times if im honest. Not sure why i came back for more punishment ?
I do remember when i said fuck it and lost all respect for those that treated me like shit. Then i fought back... Honestly i eventually took it to fair witch what earned me the troll title...
In recent times ive been meeting members and building my credit back one member at a time
Having you guys laugh with me and trust me is huge
Believe it or not i actually love this community and wish this site and members future success. Hell i hope I'm a big part of making it successful if im honest.
Seriously Joe those words touched my spirit man
Definitely without question the next shadow of this site
Especially with his location and clubs people will definitely seek him out for knowledge and a buddy to chill with at the club
He has my respect and he is on my bucket list to visit
Love you papi chulo bro
Best i can do at this point i believe lol
Juice also posted stuff about rough things he had been through in life that most people do not experience that he actually went through. People also assumed this stuff was not real. I can relate, I have had a rougher life than most. Most people would not believe my stories.
One good thing that came out of this trolling is there were a lot of things that needed to be fixed on the site.
For example. You used to be able to give multiple trusts or it was called props back then. Look back on my profile and Juices profile or some of the other long time members and you will see multiple trusts from people. Juice had a lot of people ignore him at one time. He may have been the most ignored member here ever. He figured you you could prop or trust someone that had you on ignore so he started putting I love you and stuff like that on peoples props. People really got mad but he was saying positive things.
He started making other accounts to ask the same questions. His writing style came through and people started hating on those accounts also.
I thought it was entertaining watching him blow up the board with all the love/hate he recieved. That got me coming back more often.
I also like the fact it is unmodersted and you can say shit and get reactions and watch reactions others get. I feel like i have learned a lot about people in general here.
Yep, I do. This thread has really high quality answers too. I’m starting to enjoy the feature
