Not sure how wide it has been applied but I have detected a change in the way that AW deal with girls that don't log in for some time. When I did a search this evening I noticed that some profiles were missing - those of girls that hadn't logged in for ages. The search worked as usual this morning so something has changed during the day. I then deselected "escort" from the search criteria and re- searched - up came all the girls that were missing. Checking a few of their profiles I notice that they had all been set to "erotic content provider" only - no escort, web cam etc.,
Looking at the AW help I found a bit that said that those girls that did not log in for 60 days would have their services set to "erotic content provider" only so it looks like AW are actually doing something about those old and defunct profiles. Try it yourself and see if you get similar results for your area.
An interesting development and should lessen the time wasted looking at dead profiles...
