Request for the Love Ranch ladies

[shooter]

      It would be great if all of you would get together and lobby Dennis to get a seperate web site for the LR.  Going throught the Bunny Ranch board it is difficult to tell who works where.  If you all are serious about winning the COY award this year I think it would help.

Shooter,

Hiking Guy and myself talked to Rich quite a bit about this during LPIN Gathering-13.  They like having the two together, and as long as that is the case there will not be any changes I'm afraid.

We have instructed the ladies that it would be a good idea if they indicated under their avatar for "Location", to put "The Love Ranch".  That will let us know where they are located.  A lot of them have done that now.

It would cost them more to maintain two separate identities, even if it was within the same domain. But that is a cost justification that they must decide.  As of now they like having the sites together.  If they separated they would not get anywhere near the traffic that the Bunny Ranch does.  It is the marquee name and everyone knows it even if they do not know The Love Ranch.  So they pick up some of their business via that as well.

Take care,
afriend

Here's a simple idea that would maybe work.

They could add a small icon that is unique to each ranch placed beside her name on the board; and with her pictures in that section. Easy see the icon and know BR or LR. I'm sure they can design or find one to use.

I like us sharing a board. Dennis does a lot of advertising for moonlite that leads people from all over the country to our message boards. By sharing the boards we can mooch off of them. I'm afraid that if we had a separate board we wouldn't see nearly as many people from out of the area.

That is a specious argument.  My webhost for the .com domain is pretty damn cheap, $9.99/month for more space and bandwidth than I will ever need in addition to 2500 e-mail accounts and a whole lot of other perks.   In addition to that I can register four other domains and have them hosted on the same account absolutely free.   They could host two sites (or five for that matter) for the same price as one.   If they have a "web designer" doing their site that charges them thousands of dollars per year just to put up a few new pics every now and then then they are getting ripped off bigtime.   Dennis should be able to put a quality site up for the Love Ranch for less than the price of one of his fancy boxes of cigars.

I believe you are incorrect.  There is no reason for Dennis not to want one of his properties to make money and if the Love Ranch website were prominently linked from the BR site there is no reason you wouldn't get the same traffic.   The Wild Horse/Mustang does this for their houses and I see no significant difference in traffic.    Kitty's/Love Ranch has always been a red headed stepchild for Dennis.

I may not have provided enough information in my earlier post.  Those are just some of the costs.  Some costs are unknown and unknowable.  Such as the cost of not allowing the ladies from one house to post on the other houses board.  Or if they would, the cost to maintain multiple accounts or permissions. Believe me I know as I've had multiple sites that maintained separate accounts, or permissions.  It can be difficult at times having to deal with things multiple times instead of just once.  

The cost of how a potential customer posting on one board is treated, by asking about something on the other house board and having that deleted because it is not their house, so they don't care, or want to answer the customers questions about the other house, even though it is owned by the same people.  This appears to happen at Exit28 a lot.  I've experienced it and some of our other posters here have also experienced it.  We incure cost of our time when we have to post / read both sites at Exit28 such as the voting procedures for LPIN Gathering, or even the Stablekeepers posts.  Dennis and Suzette would have to spend more time in handling anything related to the individual sites, just as exit28 has to now.  It's a decision that each brothel owner must decide and I happen to like this model better.  I like the KIS principle... Keep It Simple.

Personally I also now like the fact that the ladies can chat between the two houses.  Can't do that at Exit28.  If you think about it, that is one of the reasons we want ladies to post here, and be able to talk between the different houses and share ideas.  Same goes for their two houses, they can share info and not have to be separate from one another.  I don't know how many times I've posted something on the WH site and had to copy and paste the same message onto the WFMR site as well.  Duplication of effort that should not be necessary IMO.  

So... if they simply indicate what house they work at, it is fine with me to just have one board.  It saves everyone time when it comes to posting, reading and managing as far as I am concerned.

Edit: spelling

[Interested bystander]

You have some valid points although most of the problems I've heard and you've experienced with the exit 28 sites are philosophical rather than practical.  In other words, the problems are primarily caused by the way the webmaster chooses to handle the sites.   I personally would like to find out things about the LR without having to weed through all of the BR crap occasionally but how they manage their site is up to them.  I just didn't buy the "too expensive" argument.  I hear that way too often and usually it is total BS.

Me too, I make more visits to the LR than I do to the BR. I just want it eaiser to find out what the LR  is doing and who is working.

Yes they can chat between themselves here and we like to see that. In fact we have seen a chat between Northern house ladies and Southern house ladies already. Houses seperated by more than a parking lot or a road.

They don't need a new site to do that, they just need to manage the list of who is working when better.  I've seen the list for The Love Ranch has not changed since July 21st.  Now the Bunny Ranch seems to always to be up to date. 

Actually I just checked and from the main board index, they have a seperate list for each ranch.  The problem appears that it shows the date as being July 21st.  If you open it however it shows the ladies that will be appearing through September 22nd.  So they are editing the original post and it does not display the change date, only the original date posted.  This is why I bet a lot of us thought they were not updating the ladies who are working.  They should do it more like the way the BR does theirs as the date changes on it.

Exactly... separating them would only be more of a problem and not solve what the real issue has been indicated...  Lack of posting lineups and Ranch info..

Did you realize you can find out what the Love Ranch is doing by going to the main message page?  There is a separate area that TLR and BR posts info about their houses.  First there is the Announcement section, followed by the Topics section that have locked topics, similar to ours.  Followed by the individual posting.  If you read those 10 -20 threads that are pined to the top then you can find out what each house is doing.  It's not that big of deal to look at the titles and just open the ones that interest you.

My opinion of what afriend has written is that it's 90-95% BS!!!!!!  The only reason in the world why the Love Ranch doesn't have it's own board is that Dennis wants all of the business at the BR!!!! 

But I might be wrong, it must take a lot of time to manage the one board because I found six ladies listed as working there that don't:
Annie AnderSinn- was working at Exit 28 but had said she was going back to stripping
Bamma- was in SF
Kylie- working down south under another name
Miss Monica Morris- retired
Shelbie- listed as working at the Kit Kat but hasn't been on the schedule for almost a year, probably retired

It wouldn't surprise me if 70% or more of the ladies listed as "Bunny Babes" aren't working for Dennis anymore. I'd like to think that it was just an oversight by Dennis, Suzette or the webmaster, but my gut tells me otherwise.

I think IB is partially right when he says Dennis treats the Love Ranch as a red-headed stepchild. He really doesn't want it, but it's bringing in too much money to kick it to the curb!!!!!

Not according to Rich the Manager. Hiking Guy and I talked with him during LPIN Gathering-13 about it.  They like both houses being together.  I do also, but it would be helpful to have a better way to see important info concerning house postings as others are saying.  Eventually I'd like to see some separation.  But first I believe that they need to develop their own brand,  and that I will agree is currently under the control of Dennis.

Agreed... (I think most of the houses do it to keep uninformed consumers thinking that they worked there).  What I have been told is that the ladies that are listed in the "Featured Listing" are the ones that are available there more recently.  Personally I would only trust a phone call with a lady I was wanting to see as the best way to insure that they are currently working at any of the ranches.  Even then things come up, and the lady might not be there later.  I met one lady at one of the ranches on a Thursday night and did not party with her.  Went back on Sunday and she was gone.

I think IB is partially right when he says Dennis treats the Love Ranch as a red-headed stepchild. He really doesn't want it, but it's bringing in too much money to kick it to the curb!!!!!

I have no basis of knowledge one way or the other.  But I do think that Rich does need to be given credit for getting the lineup of ladies at The Love Ranch that they now have.  Let's not forget that it was only a little over a year ago that he became manager there.  He has shown us that he is willing to listen to the consumer (us), as Hiking Guy and myself spent more that a few hours talking to him and the ladies about our thoughts, including what has been brought up here.  I have posted their response here and in the archives during July of earlier this year.

Take care,

If Dennis truly wanted all of his business at the MLBR, he would simply close or sell the other house. My guess is that both make money.

Does he treat the MLBR as his flagship? Certainly. You don't hear about the Love Ranch on cathouse.

But I don't think from a messageboard standpoint, having a single board essentially increases the traffic to a single site. And I like having only one place to go.

As opposed to the other two brothel operation in town, that has seperate sites. It just adds to the sites to check for messages, and lets face it, the posts between the boards don't vary that much.

Not to say that each house couldn't have its own section for house news. That would keep it seperate on a single board.

      I am about at the point that I am sorry that I even started this subject.  Thought maybe it was a no brainer.
      I went over to the BR site, found a link to the LR which led me to a map and that is it.  However I did see that they are still having an auction for the Virgin, and auction for some anal sex at the BR, and one lady will give you a party to direct or star in a porno film with her. All I wanted to know is if the LR has any special events coming up and who is working there.  Without going through 20 stickeys on a message board.
     As to the comments about the LR being treated like a redheaded stepchild, well you all know my feeling toward redheads!

[kallimorgan]

I think the Love Ranch was discovered by a lot of people because of the Bunnyranch website. However, The Love Ranch holds it own now. I don't see Dennis ever separating the ranch's into 2 sites. But, it would be nice to perhaps have the love ranch ladies heads spinning around too!! lol  I think it can be confusing what girl is at what house.
