The Pittsburgh board thrived on ASDP.
Of course, ASDP didn't put providers, agencies, MPs and stripclubs that were in cities over 300 miles apart in the same category - as you do with Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
I'm not going to drive 12 hours round-trip from the Burgh to see a provider in Phillie, nor am I going to book a flight. No one is.
For better or worse, a hobbyist's reaction to seeing a site where providers from so far away are just lumped in with his own location is to not take the site as seriously.
It's frustrating and off-putting to read about something that sounds promising and then realize: oh, it's 320 miles away.
Needless to say, Indys, which is becoming the defacto Pittburgh site (but which sadly isn't as unbiased as massageplanet is or ASDP was) gives Pittsburgh its own boards.
I realize you're performing a real service and am not here to complain. But if I had a business that failed to attract a customer base where previously there'd been a huge one I'd give some thought to what I was doing wrong.
You might find if you both set up a seperate Pittsburgh board and were prompt about giving credit for reviews you'd have many, many more posters. You might very well find you had many additional Phillie posters if they had their own board too.
I appreciate what you're trying to do. I hope this will be taken in the spirit it was given.
