Do you still consider it a work in progress? For example, I used to be able to click on the address of a club and be taken to a Google Map of the location, but I can't do that in the new site. So should I complain that I can't, or just shut up and wait? 😁
Me personally I'd like the old reviews/articles part of somebody's profile, it helps me find stuff. I'm trying to remember for example that one article Papi wrote I can just go to his profile and find it that way, instead of going through the article pages, no way I'm doing that shit.
Also please put a delete option
Hopefully you can find a cheaper alternative to Google Maps like you mentioned in another thread because the map feature is super helpful while traveling. Otherwise looks good.
2) Can you no longer navigate directly to the most recent comments on a thread? Please add that feature back in
I also noticed two out of state clubs when looking at the Maryland clubs and one club that was listed twice (appears to be a duplicate entry. )
Also I enjoyed the white background. The black is fine but I found the white and purple aesthetically pleasing.
From what I know, when websites host video it soaks up a lot of bandwidth, meaning that it costs the site owner more. So, I imagine that this would need to be a paid feature to make it worth doing. Considering that there's very few dancers active here, I imagine that it would be a pain to set up and used very little.
If dancers really wanted us to watch videos of them, they can already post links to Instagram, open-access OnlyFans posts, or via Imagur.
^^^for the second time, there's really no need for a delete option. Just be careful over what you post. Also try not to post when you're blackout high and don't even remember it.
But keep begging founder. LMFAO BEG FOR IT. Again!!!
Another one that's more pie in the sky-ish, but similar. Would be some sort of @username kinda tagging doing the same thing. Like if I were to say @Papi_Chulo knows about the big booty clubs in Miami, that comment or whatever would show in his feed.
And I absolutely like the user stats thing. The total reviews/unique clubs reviewed stat was super helpful for quickly identifying the people who actually go to strip clubs.
On a similar subject, some way to see stats of reviews published/rejected would be cool. And seeing who approved articles like you show for reviews would be cool too.
Maybe add the ability to like/dislike a topic, a photo, a review, basically the first post in the thread instead of only the comments underneath.
Overall though, I think I do actually like the new site. This might be the first time I'm saying that, most every other time I hated it at first and over time got used to it.
That would be a great feature, except you have to remember that every time a feature is rolled out here one or more people attempt to weaponize it against other users. Meaning, that feature would probably be used to spam someone with dozens or hundreds of @ notifications. So, that feature would also need the ability to block it on a user-by-user basis.
"And seeing who approved articles like you show for reviews would be cool too."
I think that's present in the new site.
"Maybe add the ability to like/dislike a topic, a photo, a review, basically the first post in the thread instead of only the comments underneath."
I'd dig that.
I'm kinda not liking the thumbs up and down all the way to the right. Less mouse movement if they were all on the left, I think.
- I agree with Champphilly, I like the old version. Many companies periodically do a makeover to refresh their image, and it's rarely better, and sometimes worse. I would like to know what's going to be better on TUSCL?
- If it's going to change - please keep the user stats (review count, club count, etc.). As noted above it's important for judging user credibility.
- I liked the option to have a background on your profile (had been considered adding one).
Thanks

Thanks, founder
1) I preferred the Club Reviews grouped by day, with links back to the previous days at the bottom, as opposed to the NEXT and PREVIOUS it now displays.
2) It seems the radius on nearby clubs has decreased. Being in an area with fewer clubs (Wilmington NC), I'd like to see Myrtle Beach, Fayetteville NC areas too.
Thanks!
And how do you view your comments? I commented on something last week, wanted to pull the thread up- now I can’t find it at all. When i click my profile kt just shows discussion threads ive made- not comments. Same for if i click someone elses profile, no more review or comments section just discussion board stuff. I didnt click the link for tje new site, looks like my phone automatically keeps pulling up the new site
The site loads a lot faster, particularly on mobile.
I do love the speed of the new site!
Probably still come here for discussion threads but that’s about it
I assume since you like reading reviews, you do visit a club from time to time? Why don't you write a review and get a month of VIP? Or maybe you just expect everything for free without even spending 5 minutes of time to contribute something.
I HATE it!!!
It seems that the site is designed only for people on their phones. I just view it on a computer only. Founder look at the site using Firefox or an Edge browser then tell me if you're satisfied with the changes.
Personally I think the best viewable version of tuscl was a couple versions ago but I always rolled with the changes but I don't think I will this time.
Now I admit I only read a couple posts in this thread, didn't have time to go through the whole thing and I don't have time to specify my complaints so I don't know if any of my concerns were discussed above but my feedback is it's nowhere near computer friendly!
BTW if the creep was still here posting, wonder of wonders we would probably both agree on our hate for the changes.
I'm wondering if founder has optimized the new site for varying PC screen resolutions, including low resolutions. People with aging eyes tend to use low resolution settings to make everything a bit bigger on the screen.
In the console I see "TypeError: b is null" in the framework and main js.
also on the account page, there's a "0" under the what's muted button and the email settings button isn't a button at all, it's just text. If I can still upload images I can screenshot it if you want.
On the "My Dashboard" page, there is a "0" under the stack of blue buttons. There's also the text "Email Settings" that isn't linked to anything (yet, I assume).
Anyhoo… just a public service message from the council of ricks. A rick service message if you will. TTFN!

The three reviews per day for non-VIPs has gone away in the new design. I think it's fine. Probably a good decision, even.
It now displays much better on my laptop than it did before. The main screen balances nicely between the two sidebars. Are there any new features, though? It looks cosmetically different and loads faster than in the past, but I don't see anything else.
The only improvement I would request at this point is the pictures on the main screen. Since I keep my phone in dark mode and the new site loads dark, and the photos are less prominent. It might be worth a second look to keep the whole thing lighter as it was.
When approving/rejecting articles, list a new rejection reason: “Advertisement. Should be posted in Personal Ads.”
Thanks for the tip/explanation.
Also on the discussion page when I click "last comment" it goes to the first comment at the top and then I have to manually scroll to the bottom. However this feature does sometimes work correctly - about 1 out of 10 times.
No. No free shit, my only exception beside typical VIP routes, is for the daily DB members/long tenured types I would be for them getting to be able see reviews because they are contributing just in a different way.

I preferred the old layout for unpublished reviews where you didn’t have to click them open. More clicks makes me less likely to read more than the clubs I’ve been to or am interested in.
Similarly, the additional click to get to the last comment. Yes, the site is faster so that’s good but more clicks is always bad. I assume this is just an under construction issue.
Thanks Founder!
Jack4thson don't forget you can get VIP for writing an article as well if you haven't been to a club recently to submita review of. Nobody wants anyone to write fake reviews.
1. The reviews are ultimately the most valuable content on the site. If the site is here to make money, then access should be either earned or paid for. That's really the best reason.
2. A fair amount of reviews continue to include very graphic information, and in some cases connect dancers by name to extras. I'm not going deep into that battle right now. But, it makes sense to not have that information readily available to the new users "AbusiveBF" and "LocalJournalist" via nothing but an email address registration. No, TUSCL is not a DARPA secure site; it's not a heavy lift to crowbar your way in if you're determined. That said, I'm okay with putting up a few extra hurdles between the least-public-friendly information on the site and the public.
3. It was pretty obvious that some bad actors (trolls, spammers, etc.) used their limited free review views to cobble together fake reviews that would squeak by the adjudicators and get them VIP without ever visiting a club. File under "This is why we can't have nice things."
Nobody likes it when something that was free becomes not-free. But it makes sense here (to me).
Or you could write an article. Or you could just pay for a month of VIP when you're planning your next trip.
Running the site isn't free. It wouldn't surprise me if founder has even questioned over time just how much VIP access he should be giving for reviews, but ultimately decided to keep it where it's at because the site needs a steady supply of fresh content. Every review you read is the result of someone else spending time and money in obtaining intel and then writing the review. The least you could do if you want to benefit from that content is to contribute in one form or another.
@jack4thson - losing the fee reviews stinks for you.m but in no way is the answer ever “I’ll make up a few reviews.” Maybe you were just being loose with your language but if you were saying you’d write a fake review, that’s sacrilege and deserving of a ban for anyone who intentionally writes a fake review. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that that wasn’t what you meant. It’s just easier to write a real review, article, or pay $7 or whatever it is to read for a month.
1. Having to log in multiple times is annoying. When I start from tuscl.net I log in, but then have to log in again when I click on either my feed or conversations. Also, can logged in status be saved?
2. My feed now starts with unpublished reviews. Can I suppress this? I only occasionally look at unpublished reviews to see if any are in my area.
3. I previously bookmarked myself so I could see my comments and reviews in my feed. Is this no longer available?
Thanks again for all you do for this site!
Or on the other hand, I guess you could just go fuck yourself.
It was getting to a point where researching several clubs in a potential travel destination was cumbersome and time consuming because of the lag times involved, especially clubs with lots of reviews. This is infinitely better.
First is the map function. I can't begin to say how valuable that has been when I'm traveling. The ability to target areas with concentrations of clubs is great. It even helps me plan which hotel to stay at. I don't know if we can have that in this new format, but it would be awesome if we could.
The other is personal stats for the users. Credibility stats matter when I'm weighing the opinions of a reviewer about a particular club.
I presume the separation of closed clubs from open clubs into a secondary list by city was deliberate, and I like that too.
Some examples, https://app.tuscl.net/review/393658 this one has two thumbs up from the real Twentyfive. and this one https://app.tuscl.net/review/393658 has a thumbs up and a thumbs down from dickydoo2. Total votes are still seven, so in those cases those people got two votes.
Great job on switching the strip club listings from counties to metro areas, but Fort Myers is missing Allure (at Babe's), not that it really rates a mention.
Anyway, as like all previous redesigns, this was not done capriciously. I COMPLETELY rewrote the ENTIRE site in a new language, using updated technology and hardware. There are LOTS of things missing. But I think we all can all agree that on a whole, the site is running immeasurably faster.
The features you are missing (sorting clubs, notifications, etc) will all be coming back. Just don't ask me when.
I seriously doubt I will ever bring back free reviews though. Anyone who comes to this site *probably* has visited a strip club at least once. Write a review, get 4 weeks free VIP.
Haven't been to a strip club? Write an article. There are no restrictions on article topics, just make it interesting.
Don't like to write? Pay $10 for a month.
Can't afford $10? Then you can't afford women, let alone strip clubs.
Have a blessed day.
For the next few weeks I will be working on the admin side of the site, so don't look for any changes to the consumer side soon. Any obvious bugs will of course take precedence over the admin side.
Thanks for sticking with us.
However, when I do a search, the Google page displays with a starch white background and the typed in text is light grey and almost impossible to see.
Not sure what it is, but there's something leading users astray on the club profile page UI.
And on a similar note, the the post age showing "a year ago" then "two years ago" isn't super useful. If you could just show the date it was posted if its more than a year, it would be much more user friendly.
Me too. Seems like it should be east to bring that back
It’s not in this thread but it’s on others
Look for fixes to start next week
The behavior on the right pane is as expected, the text turns light and the background turns dark.
Not for me, I clicked last comment a few times yesterday and today and it just takes me to the top of the thread.
That is the same on firefox and edge.
Another issue
I have a habit that I don't want to change. That's logging out every time I leave but when I return and try to login again i get a login failed message and a prompt to receive a recovery email. So I have to go to my email and click a recover password link everytime I want to login. again both on edge and firefox.
Never had to do this with any of the previous tuscl versions.
And now it's not working again.
I'll see how it plays out next time I come around.
I tried the last comment feature around 6 times this morning, it worked once.
Also I still have to click a recover password link every time I want to login.
