How did you find or arrive on MERB?

[LeDodo]

Did you just Google Montreal or Canada escort?
Did a friend told you about that?
You heard it from a provider?

For me, a friend had in his bucket list, before leaving to do a exotic massage. I Google that and in one Reddit post someone (a hero) mentioned about MERB.

That's how I found this treasure or Pandora box

A client told me about it.

 

[What's My Name]

By accident

by looking around in google.

You guys don't remember that there was a board called TBD before MERB, probably. I learned about MERB before it existed. That's because Fred Zed had started TERB and there were rumors on TBD that he was starting MERB. And then he did. In 2003. Before that TBD was the board. And later there was another board called MERC, which I believe is now defunct.

Fred has since passed away. I only knew him through email. There were MANY glitches in the early days of MERB, and we emailed each other often on them.

I must be old but I remember Merc. But before there was Canbest for the real old timers. I remember the stories of our friend Oliver

Can best, a masseuse named LIsa from the West Island told me about it.

I found MERB through PERB, and I think I found the reference to PERB on ISG

Using google, I think I found Merc first then not that long after found merb.
I was trying some wording in google that would give some places like forums that would talk about escort ads and ways to avoid getting scams.
I was scanning ads but I was always hesitating to book...
I read forums and eventually I took the plunge on my first reviewed Ann123 SP, I think she was Mika the Latina and this is how I found out about GFE and the rest is history.

Found Merb through the spreadsheet! This around May/June 2004. After a week of reading through everything I booked a trip for July.

When canbest jumped the shark

 

[philonius]

Found Merb through an sp that said they were well-reviewed here (with links to said reviews). Clicked one and I’m still tumbling down the rabbit hole

Internet , makes you arrive to wherever you want. I live in latin America , I'm not Canadia, neither American, proudly I am Mexican. I am very curious about forums in the internet.

The day I decided to start making ads.
I googled "escort montreal" and checked out the first 5 pages I was able to make an account on for free, I couldn't advertise on merb, but it was a community. I was too new to get involved, Oct/2022, i only started posting here about a year later when I was feeling lonely and segregated from the world, I needed a community in the very lonely world of indy when you don't know anyone. And the first thing I learned when I started comunication on merb was a was charging far too low. So increased my price, much to the dismay of people I had seen before that point. (It was you clients saying it was the scammer zone price, that convinced me it definately needed to be raised.)

I was looking up the massage parlors around college. Was curious what they were about

 

[LC18]

SPs told me they hated that website so I wanted to know why…

Remember those days well. Big Doggie Board. Not sure how I found that one but my story is similar to yours.

Cheers,

This was my path as well, through TBD and TER.
