Laurisa, you make an excellent point in stating that you felt that Dollar Den was a place to air political opinions when you said you got the wrong impression of Dollar Den.
Eric, this site is all about the microeconomics. It is "StripperWeb" not "EverythingWeb". There are hundreds, if not thousands of websites dedicated to general business/ market/ economics on the web. There are maybe a handful of websites dedicated to helping strippers and others in the sex trade.
Most of the people posting in this forum aren't even current strippers (myself included). Most of the current threads are populated by about a dozen or so people on a site with thousands of members.
This section could be used by the members for some real and tangible benefits. For instance, if there are online coupons for MAC makeup (or other brand that is useful to strippers), Dollar Den would be the perfect place to post such a thing, but the post ends up in Stripping General, Body Business or The Lounge.
My point is that Dollar Den has become useless to most of our membership. The membership is concerned about buying stuff, saving money and not getting ripped off.
All I'm asking is that we get back to the core membership here, and think of their needs. There are personal blogs here that can be used as a personal soapbox for those who are interested in political discussions or in-depth financial analysis. It is obvious that our dancer members really don't care about those things, and just stay away from this section altogether.
I think it is up to the mods to keep this forum as stripper friendly as possible. If you have only a few actual strippers posting in this section, it may be time to address why they aren't here.
