Actually that's exactly what I was talking about and we already have a thread about it from when it was current here.

If you want to discuss that topic (and 'adult' sites encompass things lots of people who are not prostitutes or interested in prostitutes look at, like gambling and porn) please post in that thread rather than this one :).

Hi again, looked at that thread but with only a few posters, did not seem the right place, this one headed "Slow at the minute or just me?"  seemed to be the right place as to why it so slow

thanks

Today has been really quiet, not even had that many calls, very unusual for me, I'm just thinking maybe because its Eid Mubarak, has anyone else that the same problem? X

Because its what!?

Do you girls notice any particular days of the week that are slower than others? For example, are Mondays much slower than a Thursday? Probably a stupid question but I am just starting out so I want to know what to expect more or less.  :)

I
SOOOO DEAD

AW used to be so good, mixture of timewasters and good ones.
I must say since I signed up for alerts from AW, so as to see my competition, most alerts of new ladies have the red alert attached to them.
I can easily see why clients are put off and dont trust Adultwork with so much negative selling by them. Putting myself in my clients eyes, it is so easy to assume that all the profiles are fake

Plus, I just wonder if Adultwork is getting blocked by ISP's as the government want them to do for such sites and the guys do not realise it, be it at home or work
I know you can contact the ISP to unblock you but will these married guys or those at work actually do that, even if they can ?
The answer is --- we will never know

It is a roundabout way of shutting down this industry


I haven't had my ISP adult content blocked ever since with BT for about two years but have found an article here.   
http://www.  techopti.com/websites-with-adult-content-filtered-in-england/


I do wonder if this policy is implemented over here in Northern Ireland?. Once I find out this is in place here then can work on a solution.

It does usually get quiet this time of year any way but has come as a shock to say the least from a busy summer.


Update... It looks like it is the same here in NI. http://www.  belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/northern-ireland/david-ford-vows-to-include-ulster-in-porn-laws-29439702.html

We do know actually; Adultwork (and other adult sites) is blocked by parental control/family friendly filters which most people have elected to switch off and recent changes meant that people now have to actively opt out or have them switched on by default.

It was in the news a few weeks ago, and even in the event that Adultwork was shut down all together it would take an awful lot more than that to shut down an industry that has existed for as long as people have, so I wouldn't worry :).

Hello,

Do you have a link to the article Amy?. I must have missed that.

(Update) I found it now. http://www.  bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23401076

I posted a link last night to the thread where this discussion is taking place - once again, can it be continued there, please?

That is not a hint.

Well the USA federal government has finally opened back up tonight. I don't know anyone directly affected by it, but the fact of it happening has sent clients into hiding left and right.

Gemma have you thought about doing incalls one or two days a week from a hotel? I only offer outcalls and offered this for a short time to see how it would go and there was a lot more work. I just decided to stop because I didn't like working too hard lol. Now I supplement my ingoings by webcamming as well and it works out ok for me. Bare in mind that my outgoing are rather low compared to alot of people with not having children, very very cheap rent andx the likes. Perhaps going on tour might help?

I have noticed the drop off only this year and am now sick of working just to pay bills etc..I have now decided to give up my silly overpriced apartment and do in calls at hotels.

I think updating photo's as often as you can seems to help and keeps everything fresh :)

Maybe get a part time job? The idea of offering incalls would help as well. Its true that nice hotel and serviced apartments can be quite pricey but maybe you could find a WG in your area or anywhere in the Uk really who has a room to rent on an hourly/daily basis that you could use for incalls?
So, what she done said was that happy hoes ain’t hating and hating hoes ain’t happy.

Does anyone know when the porn block comes into affect? I know  a lot of people have smart phones now so can use that for websites, but this will have and effect on businesses.
