Being able to discuss Seeking on here is, of course, the Admin's call. People can call it what they want, but it's still a form of punting. As far as I'm aware you can't get access to the restricted thread anymore, so it's natural that those with an interest will discuss it outside if they can.
As a GFE type of punter, I've been flirting with the idea of finding a SB for a while now. What's most off-putting is the lack of reviews, and also the time it seems to take to find a suitable girl. In this respect, being able to read other's experiences, views and advice is most invaluable.
