New format sucks
Alfredo_Darke
Much harder to locate clubs in the strip club list, I often don't know what town the club is in. I'd gotten use to counties, but the best was the map.That function no longer works, at least for me. The site has become unusable.

This is much better than the old system of printing from the map list. But the map locator is great if Founder can make it work.
The type of club above the club name would be appreciated.
I'd like to know what kind of person contributes two reviews in two years (plus one "give me information" discussion board question) and then comes here complaining that the whole site sucks.
If you had bothered to scan a few DB posts you would have seen that the mapping issue has been brought up about a dozen times already. Clearly it did not warrant a dedicated new thread just to cater to your desires. Founder already addressed the issue, but I'm not going to repeat what he said or provide a link. If it's that important to you, look it up yourself.

I used to post 20 or 30 reviews a year, now virtually none and I would participate in forums, now barely. Losing the mapping function and a top 40 list as a locator when I travel will be the last two things I thought useful enough to pay for.
For those who need it, mapping in back.
He could go on to make registry/review sites of any number of other types of businesses.
Anyways, it’s his hobby so his rules. We can participate or not.
How do you know this? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so it's great that you're sharing and enjoying the site. But a lot of the drama on this board stems from people assuming the majority of the board does (or should) see things the way that they do.
Granted a lot of the most prolific people on the boards are retired and have more time to post online at all times of the day (because they're retired). But if you factor in that most of the TUSCL users are here for reviews and not to socialize, and the vast majority of discussion posts are from a small core of users, it's tough to say whether the majority of TUSCLers are "older retired gentlemen".
I would actually argue that you need to take the opposite approach in that situation. If your customers are mostly older retirees you need to do something different to attract newer and younger customers. Otherwise your customer base is going to shrink year after year as your customers either run out of extra retirement savings to spend on strip clubs, have declining health or literally die off.
Don't believe me, just look at the problems Harley Davidson has struggled with over the past couple of decades as their average buyer got older and older. They have had to adapt and change to try to bring in a new generation of customers.
This is certainly true of strip clubs. A stripper who had worked in local strip clubs for the last several years told me recently it's harder to make money now because fewer guys buy lap dances or stage tip and more just use the club to hang out in. I've gone to strip clubs for 12 years and have seen that with my own eyes. If the customers won't give the girls money voluntarily, the clubs will need to change. They might need to charge more at the door, have drink purchase requirements or come up with other ways they can get money so they can then hand it over to the dancers.
I don't see a way to look at a city's list and see the clubs on a map. Very useful, especially when I'm visiting a city I don't know well.
Founder, thanks for your work on the new site.

The site still needs some adjusting, but it's running much faster and it's not like the organization of information has changed radically. So, I appreciate founders work on this. In addition to the tip-of-the-iceberg stuff that we see, I suspect that there's a lot of server-side updates to the code to keep the site better protected from more-current exploits. This being a reason why *all* websites need the occasional refresh; hackers love sites running old code. They're low-hanging fruit.
Site note ... I'm an old guy and I love new stuff and change. It keeps the mind and body agile.
lol
If you are trying to use the map feature to search an area you are not in at the time it is still possible, just not as easy as it was before. Just pull up the map (which will load to your current location) and then move the map to whatever location you want and double tap. It will bring up a map of all of the strip clubs in that location. Not as simple as pulling up a city from the list and choosing the map, but at least it is a work around for now.
As far as capturing location data, the privacy policy is pretty up-front about doing that. It's not exactly a Apple TOS or Tolstoy either, you can read the whole thing in 30 seconds or less. It's not clear about keeping fine grained location from GPS, but I'd assume he does if you're concerned. That goes not only for this site, but any site that offers location based services is likely to record your location.
Dont want to sound like a hater, Hats off to the founder, he has built an incredible website, I hesitate to call it a website as its so much more. TUSCL in not my first choice to find clubs, its my ONLY choice. When visiting other cities, if its not in TUSCL then it does not exist for me.
Mapping and being able to sort the clubs by the latest review is soooooo useful. Love to get both of those back. And really sort by latest review, now it will bring up a 3 year old review if someone commented on it yesterday....
