AW is currently going through a planned down time to transfer the databases and content to new servers to improve the sites speed. Your images/movies etc may not appear straight away. This down time now looks to be for another 6-12hours due to large data volumes being transferred.

You may be able to login randomly throughout the day while it is being tested.

Guys, don't forget that their servers are probably still getting 10,000 requests per minute (or thereabouts :P) 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? :)

I've just logged on and answered an email, but then I don't bother with AW much and didn't know there had been a problem until I saw this thread. It seems to have gone again now.

I assume this means the site's just about on it's way back, so whilst I do appreciate people's frustration, can the ladies updating us every time they press Refresh maybe calm down a bit? It's making for a hell of a lot of pretty boring extra reading for Emily and I.

One of those things you just can't do anything about. Annoying yes, but who knows it may work better in the end.

By the way, about VS. They don't let you post any links, or details that suggest sex or payment or rates. All you can do is give a vague description, and say you offer 'Escorting', "call me for more information" (no not me!!!!!). So you get the "Can I have some details" type calls although I'll actually put "call/text me for my website address" which seems to work quite well. Not great and most are not au fait, or are expecting something cheap and cheerful. Oh and Pnet yes at first I got a lot of chaps ringing from withheld numbers, who hadn't read the report or used the link to my website - so more "details please" and no appointments for the withhelds. I had been under the impression anyone who used the site would be used to indies not answering or accepting bookings from w/hs, but I suppose many only go on there to read the reports.

Anyway.

Hopefully it'll all settle down soon.

It prob wont matter much since there is only some active members here but the admin sent me a back up link to use http://www2.adultwork.com/MyDetails.asp you should be able to use it also but try not to post it too many places as its not exactly meant for public use.

Why did they send you it then, Jenny? Or is there rather more to your apparent adoration of the site than meets the eye?

More than meets the eye :) I have very close relations with the AW site and team. Its not a hidden thing if you know me from other cam boards or the aw forum.

I work on the payment processer for AW among other things.

Then since you clearly (and as long suspected) have a vested interest in promoting the site which you have deliberately failed to draw attention to prior to now, and bearing in mind that virtually every post you have made on this forum has been an attempt to convince us all how Adultwork can do no wrong, please do not continue to post on this topic. We object to being manipulated.

Any further cheerleading posts will be removed.
