UKEscorting

[Corky]

I had an old account there but inactivity has obviously led to it's deactivation (i've been away from Punting for a good 12 months).

The site is not accepting any new registrations at this time -anyone know what is happening with the site?

It has nothing to do with this site now, they are totally separate. You need to contact them for information.

And were they? Those 12 months when you were 'away from Punting'; were they 'good'? Did they, erm, "suit you, sir"?  

I'm not sure that "good" would exactly be the first word to spring to the minds of many of us who haven't punted for nearly as long as you, Corky; any of the following: "inevitable", "long", "necessary" and "precautionary" may be more appropriate.

I'm not sure what the point of you nitpicking the words he used is, he's answered his own question, just like this site, at the minute they aren't accepting new members.

[385North]

I was a member on there originally, but like everyone else had to re-register again after the problems when old Admin moved on. I wasn't very active 2nd time round, and my account was deleted after a while. I registered again, mainly to stop anyone else using my UKP nick, but again the account was deactivated. I've since given up.

Oh, come on davie, lighten up. It was just a little joke, ffs.

I surely can't have been the only one of us on here to have seen TV trailers in the last few days for programmes about the 25th anniversary of the Fast Show.

Just logged on and it seems to be chugging along as normal.

[davidgood]

To answer the OP, I think that the site had member overload and might have fallen over.

To cure this, inactive or low activity members were culled and members could even ask for their accounts to be delteted.

I suspect it is now down to workable, manageable numbers, so no new members at the moment.

Yeah there was an option a while back that when you logged on you were asked if you wanted to delete your account. I'm assuming it was because I hadn't logged on previously for a good couple of months.

[HarryZZ]

I had an account on there about the same time I signed up on here, it was hard work sifting through all the fluff, when they had the reset I never signed up again, is it any different now or are all the punters drooling over the SPs and the SPs pretending they're best buds with the punters?

That just doesn't sound right 
UKE was started by Old Admin who appeared to know his stuff and he said that the new forum / software etc was better than UKP's as it was simply a newer and up to date platform.
I signed up as did many others to make sure nobody else took my name and used it on there but never used the site more than a few times and only posted a handful of comments as the traffic was fairly low, i'm not interested in fluffy talk with the girls in the same way that I can't be arsed dating.
Whenever I went back on hoping that the adverts would yield some hidden gems there was again nothing worth logging on for and it ended up that I just couldn't be bothered logging on however posts etc never seemed that high and it surely couldn't have been a 10th as busy as UKP which uses an old platform

On that basis I simply don't see how the site could have struggled to cope regardless of how many inactive accounts there were (which again must pale into insignificance compared to UKP), especially as Old Admin is back running the show and everybody seemed to agree he knew his stuff and how to sort out the Tech issues

Anyway my account was also deleted when I tried logging on, generally makes sense to delete old / redundant accounts but i'm not fussed about UKE anyway

[daviemac]

Those that used to site regularly would've seen the the posts Admin made about how and why the site was run, those that don't use the site regularly why worry, you didn't use it anyway.

I think the biggest issue was someone else using your nick from here

Not sure what you mean, nobody else has used my nick.   

[Gordon Bennett]

Think he means "one's nick".

[daviemac]

Think he means "one's nick".

Who knows, he's lost me. I used the same nick on both sites when I first joined, mainly so OldAdmin would know it was me (in case he needed to contact me) when he first set it up and asked for volunteers to test the registration process. AnthG was the first to join closely followed by me.

Anyway it's all to do with the running and modding of the site.

[advent2016]

Maybe just me, but UKE seems to be a bit of a dog  these days.
Sometimes it accepts my username and password other times it says the user cannot be found and I've given up using it as a useful resource.

You're not missing out mate. I've used it a couple of times and found it crap. It's just a nest for potential whiteknights to meet their future child giving wives. 

Never been interested in it. 

[advent2016]

I thought it might be useful to check a provider who wasn't listed anywhere else. Even when I could log in I never found it useful.

[scutty brown]

You have to ask, "what useful purpose does it have", and I'm struggling to find one.
Its full of middle-aged Mindys who are too old to attract, or else too fond of cream cakes.
Totally unrepresentative of most working women

Obviously the reason for creating it was to provide somewhere that girls could tout themselves rather than them or punters doing it on here, also to stop the fluffy WK brigade and it was reasonably successful in that aim

When Old Admin got rid of it i'm not sure why anyone else would want it unless they thought they could make some money from it either directly or indirectly.
Logically there was no reason for Old Admin to buy it back given that he no longer had this site so if it ceased to exist and UKP got the touts and fluffies back then that wasn't his problem.
The only reason I can think of would be to stop certain pimps / other loathed forum owners getting their hands on it and making money from it

The old Admin for UKP and UKE handed over control of both sites to new admin teams. The team for UKP seem to be doing a decent job but but the new admin at UKE went on a 1 man power trip before he tanked the site and ran away. The old UKE admin wiped the site completely and started from fresh. He has also decided to make it so that members have to be active posters or he deletes their accounts.

It certainly could be a nest for white knights but the reality is far from that. It is in-fact a rather fractious place between punters and Working girls alike. It is mainly comprised of regular posters of both sides of the punting spectrum who seem familiar with each other and their relative posting history. Bickering and sniping seem common and loathing between some posters regardless of which side of the punting world they're on is certainly apparent. That said there is also a lot of friendly banter. In-fact a hell of a lot of banter to the point of ridiculousness. Threads can go on for almost ever because of it. I personally found the vast majority of threads futile and of no or little relevance to actual punting.

It isn't somewhere I gain anything from and now rarely log on.

That's very true but UKE isn't exactly External Link/Members Only 

[Home Alone]

That's weird. I wasn't doubting either Oak Tree or tynetunnel, but I just thought I'd take a little look at how dire Uke is for myself.

Firefox remembered my nickname on there - different from the ones I use AW and on here - and my password but it wouldn't let me in. No great loss either way; I guess. I'll leave them alone.

Good summary. Most threads (and there's not a lot if punting related stuff on there just crap about personal tastes and likes) descend into endless pointless banter between the clique of members on there and makes contributing (which is now draconianally enforced to stay a member) a daunting prospect. Some members pounce on anything in order to start some drama for their own amusement.

I use it as a resource for touring WGs advertisments and one girl i see who doesnt have an AW page and only posts their availability on UKE. Because of this i rarely contribute to threads and have had to reregister twice this year. I think the next time my account is deactivated i won't bother again either if registrations are open. UKP is the site i want to contribute to and even here i dont really engage in anything non punting related.

[ArchBacon]

It’s basically an echo chamber now.

You can still see the media without being logged in, but can’t actually see the profile details of the WGs so wouldn’t think it will be much use as a marketing platform for new business going forward with the removal of non-contributing accounts and closure to new registrations.

I agree, this a reasonable summing up. I think the relevance of threads and posting in them declined rapidly during Lockdown as both SPs and SSs had time on their hands and were not able be out and about doing what they would have been doing normally.

Like most punting related sites, UKE has its share of pompous, sanctimonious windbags who spend a lot of time poking their snouts into nearly every thread and making comments that they think are relevant or witty when they are not. They love attacking things they do not actually know about or are scared to try. I think that the most prolific posters are probably pseudo punters who have no real experience of actually meeting WGs. You won't find any reviews they have done and although they will claim to know lots of SPs on the site they will never have met any of them.

UKE is never going to be alternative to AW and UKP as a source of finding girls and getting info on them. But I remain a member and dip in regularly to keep an eye on what is going on and occasionally I find an SP who I would not have picked up elsewhere. This year I have had meets with 2 UKE members who tick a lot of my boxes and who I would never have come accross had they not been posting on UKE.

Best avoided. 

Not a great place for your mental health.  I ended up feeling like I was walking on eggshells the whole time.  I feel much better now that I'm not a member.

Media was good.

Met some good SPs through it that I wouldn't have found otherwise.

It's a bit like Survivor does escorting.

I’ve never felt like you say above over there but I can see where you’re coming from. New members especially tend to be treated with suspicion but I suppose it’s similar here to an extent. I quite like it over there apart from when the new owner fucked everything up. Oldadmin who got the site back up and running just seems to keep the site existing and doesn’t want to grow it or be bothered with the hassle new members can bring at least for now.

 I had a couple of decent punts with touring wg’s which I wouldn’t have know about without being over on that site. It can be cliquey like most forums but without new members the site probably will just self destruct / fade away. As regards topics, there are only so many punting related topics to discuss and even less so since lockdown and as there are no reviews over there there is little to no new content.

[FLYING BLUE]

Seconded - at first, it was fine but - It became more like negotiating an entire playground of school bullies in the guise of keyboard warriors, with exaggerated superiority complexes, coupled with a "my dads bigger than your dad" mentality.

A small but growing number of very regular posters, who were not sufficiently intelligent to simply disagree with a particular post, but instead, thought it ok to disagree / tear apart / insult & attempt to humiliate the person making the post - very different, in my mind at least.

I closed my account as soon as it became an option.

Others may very well disagree with my thoughts, of course - but I'll stick to them

[tesla]

correct, sorry for any ambiguity

[Gordon Bennett]

Seemed new and exciting at first but after a while it was just endlessly recycling the same old same old with nothing new to read. The last few months I was on it was just habit so I was glad I lost my login when the site did it's reset.
I suppose on here there's new ladies to discuss and review so there's an ongoing and fresh content to see and contribute to. UKE just doesn't have that development of content and rapidly looks stale if you have no interest in just "hanging out" chewing the cud about any old shit.

Couldn’t agree more.

[WelshClipper]

I was a member of the old uke from about February 2016. In some respects it was friendly banter but there started to be way too many drama threads (a certain Scottish Emily stands out in my memory) 

I was also a bit of a rookie punter back then. Who knows what I said as shouldn't. 

So when it all got wiped I was actually rather relieved. I then sat back and asked myself what I wanted out of my punting hobby.

1. A way of finding escorts who provide a good service and value for money.
2. Somewhere to talk to like minded guys about all things related to punting, something unavailable to me in civvie life for obvious reasons.

So I stuck with my UKP account and have not signed back to UKE. The rest is history

I am sure UKE has its appeal and provides a good platform for many punters. But I prefer the solid reasoning and methodical approach of UKP. 

[Lister]

The old UKE was a good counterbalance for UKP with punting related subjects and more input from WG's as well as a site where you could meet WG's who were not available elsewhere. I have had a few meets from there and had a great time but more recently it became a site for empty headed drivel (threads on "what are you eating" and "what are you drinking") and usually nothing punting related. I too have been excluded for not contributing through the lockdown and I see that now they have disallowed access to just about everything for non members.

Not a great loss I'm sad to say. I would not sign up again unless it became much more punting specific but I can't see that happening and they are not accepting new members anyhow.

[tynetunnel]

Perhaps old admin is winding it down and hoping it will die a natural death if starved of new members? Although it’s more likely to implode and self destruct, like a black hole!

Well thought out response

Only this week I logged out and won’t be going back, as requested no ‘goodbye thread’, just log out and don’t return. I think Admin is an absolute life saver with his sites dedicated to punting, but UKE became they playground of a few (loud) members.

I tried numerous attempts to arrange a punt through the site over the years, and not a single one panned out. I punt regularly and have the permission of my wife and the finances to support this hobby, but for me it was impossible to arrange a booking through UKE.

I wish it well.

It isn’t for me.

[wannabe]

I go there every so often to have an ogle at the media gallery, which you can access without being a member. Over the last few days there seem to have been less photos posted, so maybe the wgs are slowing down their involvement too.

Could be due to covid of course, and could pick up again when more are taking bookings.

[The Owl]

I agree. I feel like Admin is just maintaining it for the benefit of the remaining members until the hosting fees come up again. I'll be surprised if it gets renewed. With no new members allowed the touring section is going to grind to a halt until it will probably be 3 or 4 escort members using it for work and the regular members who seem to live on there. The sites a shadow of its former self, which is a shame, but all good things eventually come to an end.  If there's a real demand for a UKE style forum then the vacuum effect will cause someone to replace it when it finally vanishes.

[Bond]

When UKP and UKE were sister sites I used to like going on there for a more balanced discussion than you would get here. I appreciate Old Admin's efforts in taking over the site again, but the decision to open the general discussion board to non-punting topics did nothing to stop its downward spiral.

I have been a member on UKE since it started and I seem to recall that in the early days of the first version a lot of the ladies profiles did have a lot of info and often did not have links to AW. I wasted time on DMs to a few possible targets only to find that they did not provide the services I wanted or if they did they were pricey.  I did find a couple members who I met up with but both seem to be inactive now.

However I have had a couple of sucessful meetings this year with UKE members I would not have come accross if they had not been on there. Both had links to their AW profiles so I knew what to expect. But to get the best results through UKE you have to go through a bit of a courtship ritual IMHO. A bit of friendly banter on open forums before you launch into DMs and arranging meetings.

I agree, there are some very loud members on there who are all mouth and no trousers. There is one particular obsequious mega knobhead on there who I suspect is a pseudo punter.

However, there is still a happy, usually friendly, band of guys who are still active members on both UKE and UKP. So it is not all bad.

[jeanphillipe]

I never posted on it, and my account is gone. I used it as some girls posted different or even their private gallery pics in their.

Tip for you guys who just want to view an s.p media without registration.

Google the uke member nickname and the word "media" it bypasses login and takes you straight to the s.p gallery

E.g UKEscorting Hanna Lorde Media
