Guest jessedane Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I'm just curious what the status is of getting second reviews up on escorts is. A client of mine submitted a review awhile back and told me that through email he was told that there were problems posting more than one review per escort on here. Any news on what's going on with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ArVaGuy Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 That's a good question. I was just wondering what happend to my reivew of Steven Draker and have inquired about such. Thankfully, I always keep a copy so if need be I can resubmit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question. The answer is long overdue as is the fix. I apologize for that. I have to accept responsibility for the delay. I have had a fix in my hands that I have partially evlauated. Preliminary inspection indicates that we are not quite ready. I have been unable to follow up for completetion due to continuing severe computer problems complete with periodic system crashes. I have had a lot of down time in addition to offline troubleshooting exercises. My priorities have been site oversite and maintenance, processing first reviews and profiles as they come in and responding to emails. Next, investigation of my computer ills and dealing with attendant system issues. I fear that I have to move beyond system repair issues to a disk reformat in my near future. I hope to finish the mutiple review fix before that as system reinstalls are open ended blood orgies. Not only that, but all items not verifiably clean will have to be trashed. I will try to complete this next week if my system permits. TY Why don't they make a simple effective sheep dip for laptops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TNTTed Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 The question remains good --- and essentially unanswered. I, too, have an unpublished second review. Can we look for a fix in the near future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Barry Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 BG.....I really hate when people exaggerate in order to make Hooboy seem like some sort of klutz. The facts were that the laptop fell off Hoo's luggage cart at Charles de Gaulle and down a flight of stairs. He was in Paris because he was supposed to be in Rio but they wouldn't let him board his flight in NY since he hadn't gotten a visa. Out of frustration he boarded the next international flight going anywhere.....thus ending up at CDG. This was before he carried a spare laptop so he boarded the next available flight back to NYC to go buy a new one. So as I said....let's try not to exaggerate. Dropped off an aircraft, indeed. Jeeeeez. Barry }( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted March 22, 2006 Members Share Posted March 22, 2006 We are making progress on the software but it is not yet ready for prime time. We appreciate your patience which has been stretched way too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ArVaGuy Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 TY, Are we ever going to see second reviews? I have another reivew to submit but will not do so until I see my first review posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chuck50 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Stupid question but did we not think we would get second reviews before the site was opened? HUGS Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 It should be done very shortly. Our apologies for the inconvenience. The programmers are working on it very diligently. Oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jsvan44 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Any word on 2nd review postings status? I sent in a review a few weeks ago on a wonderful encounter with AaronMark in LV. Can you do it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...I am gald to see that someone else is curious about the status of second reviews. I inquired about same over the weekend and got the "we're working on it" response and "its in the queue" to be posted. I have got a couple of other reivews I would submit but will hold off until my first one gets published. What's the purpose if there's only one reivew for each guy? My review was submitted February 11 and today is April 11 - that's a long time to wait for a review to get posted. As Chuck 50 pointed out, didn't you guys assume that there would be second, and third, and fourth, .....reviews for the guys when you set up this site? What's the value of the escorts only have one reivew each? In my selection process multiple reivews seal the decison since I can determine from a variety of experiences if the escort and I will be compatible.

I'm certain they weren't planning on one review per escort. Unlike HB's site this site appears to have been built using a search-able database. That might not be the correct tech term but hopefully you understand. The second review has probably been a problem that they cannot find a work around for at the moment. Its obviously in the sites best interest to correct it as quickly as they can. I'm guessing they're more frustrated about the situation than any of us.

However, it would be my presumption that the review component would be a major aspect of the success of this site. Since it's obvious that such a component is not functioning correctly then the value of this site is diminished as a tool for clients to use in making a decision on whom to hire. As one who works with web sites on a daily basis in my real life job, I don't think I would have gone live with a site that had such a major component that was not 100% functional. The end result in such case is a site that's not completely useful to the intended audience. Besides HB there are several other sites now offering escort reviews and they seem to have mastered the multiple review component. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chuck50 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I am loosing my patience. I don't lke to make a scene about this but this has gone on way to long I am almost convinced it is not a priority. I heard on 2/19 from management that this problem was being worked on and would be up soon. That is just sort of 2 months ago with no drum rolls in the wings. To me that says it's not a priority. I have 2 waiting and I know many others do cause they have mentioned it on here. You will eventually discourage us from even participating if this pace is kept up.

Guest TNTTed Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I'm not sure anyone's even managing the site anymore. There has been no response to this issue since March 29th. Sorry, but I don't intend to submit any more reviews (first OR second) until the problem with the second reviews is resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ArVaGuy Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Same here. I won't be submitting any more reviews till my first one is published. What's the point if the system can only handle one reivew per guy? Totally defeats the purported purpose of this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted April 15, 2006 Members Share Posted April 15, 2006 I believe that we are converging on a satisfctory procduct. I am feeling positive for the first time FWIW. The last time I made a response to queries offering my insight I was criticized for a nonresponse. Taking that clue I haven't had anything to say until there is something concrete to say. That concrete something will be an announcement that second reviews are rolling out. That will happen when they begin to roll. I am not making any promises that I can not keep. I understand the frustration and I share it, for those who care. Bottom line: I am feeling positive for the first time. Testing looks good. They will roll when I am satisfied with the quality and robustness of the product. FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BostonGuy Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 TY: I'm glad to see this comment: not because I was concerned about the status of the reviews (I'm not in the slightest.) but because I was starting to wonder if there was "anybody home". I'm very glad to hear that you guys are making progress and continue to wish you luck in this endeavor. BG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly Tampa Yankee, that’s about the most convoluted double talk I have heard anywhere in quite some time. Unless you’re redesigning the entire escort review format, your response here really feels disingenuous. Either the system accepts second, third reviews or it doesn’t. You’re making this sound as though you’re trying to invent something that doesn’t exist anywhere else. Perhaps you need to consult an outside expert.

Guest Barry Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 It's a beautiful, sunny, clear day here in Chicago. The fountains at Millennium Park have been turned on. I bet the view from your perch high atop the Sears tower is awesome. Looking down on all us mere mortals and even looking into our minds. WOW. >Honestly Tampa Yankee, that’s about the most convoluted double >talk I have heard anywhere in quite some time. Unless you’re >redesigning the entire escort review format, your response >here really feels disingenuous. "convoluted double talk"? "disingenuous"? This issue has nothing to do with the escort review format. The reviews are in a database. Multiple reviews on a single escort need to be extracted and displayed in a format that's readable, understandable and fits the custom front end of this site. >Either the system accepts second, third reviews or it doesn’t. >You’re making this sound as though you’re trying to invent >something that doesn’t exist anywhere else. Perhaps you need >to consult an outside expert. I don't believe anyone has said the system won't accept 2nd or 3rd reviews. It's testing the way those records are brought together in an acceptable display format that is taking time. If there exists an off the shelf software package for an escort review site that includes a database linking multiple reviews, profiles, and pics which also will run seamlessly in any custom front end, then I'm sure both Tampa and Oz would be interested. Best Buy? Enjoy our beautiful weather and have a great holiday weekend. Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChgoBoy, Tampa Yankee is saying the utmost that can be said about software that hasn't yet been rolled out and proven in live use. >Either the system accepts second, third reviews or it doesn’t. >You’re making this sound as though you’re trying to invent >something that doesn’t exist anywhere else. Perhaps you need >to consult an outside expert. No. Either site management is committed to working the problem until the system accepts subsequent reviews and the user presentation of this functionality is acceptable, or site management is not so committed. From all evidence, the commitment is there. "...which is all, I think, that any conscious entity can ever hope to do..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
