I see what you mean. Press release mentions both bedpage and postlocalad. Bedpage was very slow loading, now server not responding at all. Not holding my breath that either site will be a source of clients any time soon, but here's hoping.

Jeez, I'm going to have to get friendly with vivastreet, that bottomless pit of time wasters. 

Went onto ebackpage, clicked on London, then escorts, and that diverted onto bedpage, so it's an associated site.

Backpage made $135 million in 2014, 90% of it from adult ads. They're not just going to walk away from that kind of income.

I'm sure a few months ago bed pages were sending out texts saying backpages has closed ,when you go on they site same format as backpages pages ??seem backpages known what was going to happen and opened bed pages

Maybe this was their plan b? but with the owner of BP sitting in jail as we speak this is quite a ballsy move. Unless of course they're not associated with bP which is a possibility because its a canadian directory aparently.

Jist registered on bedpage slow as hell

yes, it's pretty slow to to load, looks like they're working on it as we speak (the ads were NOT there 3 hours ago)  I did register (backpage style with an e-mail), then got the link to my email, then i logged into my new bedpage account. i'm seeing that they paypal and credit card as payment options. they also have the "buy credits option". I'm not going to post right away cause it looks like they're still working on it so i'll wait a few days and see what happens.

That sounds great 80's, unfortuntely fighting doesnt pay my bills    However im more of a believer in greed being one of the most important forces of mankind. You and i lost some income,but someone lost millipns, and someone else Was probably waiting silently to jump for the cake. We're talking about a millionaire operation, and if you let it go someone else will be waiting there to jump on it.l'll just let the universe evolve naturally.

Thanks Ana - if you would .

Incredible as it might seem, I have better things to do with my weekend than fuck about splitting off all the posts that are nothing to do with BP and moving them to a thread where people might find them useful, especially when I'm on my way back from holiday and my phone battery is on its bare arse. I also don't expect a very clear instruction to be ignored.

I haven't got the energy to move all the off topic posts today, so I'll look forward to doing it all on my free Sunday instead, at least before the ER omnibus starts. The Where To Advertise is where we'll find them after that.

Right, I've tidied this as best I can and moved relevant posts to the WtA thread at the top. I've also removed two posts which were not just off topic but offensive, and whilst I've left the existing ones we need to lighten up on the press urls. Endless reading of speculative articles by low rent online publications isn't just tedious, it's unhelpful and we're not here to promote other sites.

And that will soon spread to other areas.
