ECCIE is BACK!!!! Come on over and join the community!!!

ECCIE Worldwide has returned to the worldwide web!!! Some quick points..... 1. Male members may still post reviews of their intimate encounters and receive Premium Access credit to view The Rest of the Story, access the Men's Lounge private forums across the board, and make use of private tags to keep selected content limited to other Premium Access users. 2. ECCIE no longer uses ccBill as a payment processor. We are currently shopping payment solutions and will soon be accepting credit card payments again. Until that time, we are only accepting Money Order payments for Premium Access purchases. 3. Our female members may still post weekly and weekend updates, however we have restored some of the posting restrictions for these forums that we had a couple of years ago. In a nutshell, no nudity in images and no mention of rates or services in these posts. We are hopeful that at some point in time we will be able to loosen up on these restrictions 4. Bio Pages (formerly Showcases) now have a new section attached, called "Latest Update". In this block, the last post someone made in a Weekly Update or Weekend Update forum will be displayed along with an indicator of how long ago it was posted. This new feature will make it easy for readers to see at a glance what someone's location and availability is. 5. The templates used to report an intimate encounter have been updated. Mainly some of the fields that would be specific to escorting have been removed from the template to make it more user-friendly for a general intimate encounter. (Example: The presence of a field for "Fee" indicates there has to be an amount paid, when that may not always be the case, so it was removed.). As always, authors of the encounter reports may put whatever they like and be as creative as they want in detailing their adventures in the Rest of the Story field) 6. Given the changes to the templates, reviews written with the former templates have been pulled from public view until further notice. At some point they may be made available to the public again, but it's possible they may not. Site longevity is always at the forefront of all decisions, and we are always careful to err on the side of caution to ensure this resource is available to our members for as long as possible. 7. Often times, the parties involved in intimate encounters. have expectations attached to their participation in said encounter. Expectations can range from things such as the choice of setting, acting out a particular fetish, specific activities, ect. to other variables such as an expectation of gifts, donations, or compensation for one's time. Under the new site structure which forbids solicitation or the appearance of solicitation in the ladies posts and profiles, ECCIE has removed fields and placed posting restrictions in the areas which would have previously enabled escorts to easily convey these details. In light of this, it's entirely possible (and acceptable) for our male members to report on details and specifics of their encounter which would otherwise be prohibited for inclusion in Bio Pages or Weekly/Weekend Update posts by the ladies. On the newest version of the Encounter Report template, the appropriate placement for such details is in the Rest of the Story section, w hich access is restricted to a limited audience (Premium Access members Only) 8. The previously used "Verified Provider" usergroup has been retired and replaced by the new Upgraded Female Account usergroup. All female registrants must still complete age verification to participate on the site in any capacity, but to have enhanced features such as the ability to post Weekly and Weekend updates to the membership, have an unlimited PM inbox, be able to access the private Female-Only forums, and have the ability to create a Bio Page to tell all the members about yourself, show yourself off with your own photo gallery, and have all your Encounters automatically listed in one place you must apply for the Upgraded Account. To qualify, age-verified females must submit at least one approved Encounter to the mod staff from an established member of the board. Females who do not wish to apply for an upgraded account may still participate on the site by posting in the Welcome forums across the board as well as in the Chatroom. 9. Due to the site changes, not every location across the globe has been fully restored for use. We apologize for the delay and are working hard to bring back every location as quickly as possible. Check back daily for updates on which locations are live and which locations are coming soon. Also feel free to participate in the national "General Interest" section until your home location has been made live on the site. We are very excited to see everyone make their way back to ECCIE Worldwide!!!! 10. Signature lines have been temporarily suspended until an updated set of guidelines could be established. Upon reactivation, ECCIE staff intends to respect one's individuality when it comes to avatars and signature lines. In other words, restrictions or limitations which apply in Bio Pages and in the Weekly & Weekend Update forums DO NOT apply in your signature lines or avatar, and as such there WILL NOT be efforts by ECCIE Staff to persuade or influence what our member's post in these areas. We obviously will not allow content such as the 5 Forbidden Topics in these areas, but aside from that our members should feel free to pick an avatar or compose a Signature Line that expresses yourself in whichever way you see fit, even if the content included is prohibited from posting in other areas of the board. Thanks, and welcome back!!!!
