Guys, don't forget that their servers are probably still getting 10,000 requests per minute (or thereabouts
) while they're trying to edit and restore and backup and replace and whatnot all the files.
If it seems briefly quicker to access, it's because much fewer people are trying to visit the site at that time - because they know it's down. And it's not that requests to the server will be hindering their progress (I don't think?) but still, you won't be able to use the site properly until it's
completely finished and restored. There might even be some risks in trying to use it while they're still fiddling with things on the servers because if you, for example, try to add credits to your AW account, they might lose that information on their end (while the charge still goes through on your end).
It's a good idea to just let them finish what they're doing and start looking at alternative avenues for today. Endless refreshing will just make things slower all round.
When I had a paid ad on Vivastreet Escorts and Massages I got lots of calls and the guys I met from there were mostly lovely, but I did get a lot of TW - think that was maybe because it's not an "adult" site , it mainly has sections for flats and pets etc like gumtree.
On the other side of the coin, when I put a paid ad on Punternet, the guys did know the protocol for booking etc but most seemed pretty ill-mannered and curt. Maybe they were jaded punters! lol. No offense to anyone, and there were a few lovely guys but most were unpleasant tbh.
I have never understood how Adultwork doesn't come up in google searches front page yet still guys seem to know where to find it?
I'm curious, too! I know they've been mentioned in the papers more than once (i.e. The Daily Fail and the Guardian going, "OMG Adultwork is a super-naughty bad website! Ban it now!!1!" probably while the very editors were secretly jotting down escorts' phone numbers 'for research purposes'
) but it's ubiquity is something of an annoying mystery to me, too.
I agree with you about the other sites, too... I've found that sites like Pnet and Captain69 do often produce a higher number of "Serious Punters" or whatever you want to call those grumpy men who can't be pleased no matter what we do! I've never had anything but creepy TWs from Vivastreet, either, but if you get good results from there, why not pop an ad up there today?
