Toronto Reputable Agency Coalition

Anyone seen this or know who set it up?

I'm curious. Is it a concerned hobbyist advocacy group whose mission it is to protect our hard-earned dollars, or a cynical advertising ploy by some agencies to imply that their competitors are less trustworthy or dependable?

 

[mjy_91]

They should have a list of the companies to stay away from too.

 

[Lorna]

That would be a lot harder to manage, I think.

Only 4 agencies?.

 

[MyLoveYourLife]

That's what I was thinking.....kind of shoots themselves in the foot if that's all they are listing.....

 

[Mr Beaker]

Maybe they will adding more?.

 

[BanJo]

Maybe they're trying to get agencies to pay to "join" (ie advertise). Or maybe those 4 are the site owners and they're purposely excluding other agencies. That's what I'm curious to know - who's the site really meant for? Hobbyists or agencies?

 

[Pompal 09.]

Did you read the heading right under the title?

"Please check back often. We are in the process of creating a list of B&S Agencies and SP's to avoid. You defenitely want to see this list if you plan to hobby."

LOL- They spelled "definitely" wrong... :tongue:

At first I thought that maybe it was brand new, and would be updated often etc. but a quick search reveals the site has been registered for almost 3 years! LOL :roll:

You don't miss a beat dude :great:

 

[Dewi]

He's the net guru.....(I'm surprised I missed the spelling mistake though, in my defence I found it really hard to read due to shitty typeface, layout etc).

 

[heather123]

Good eye, Cycleguy. Maybe this is all much ado about nothing.

I'm confused...is it supposed to be a list of agencies and SP's to avoid, or a list of reputable agencies???!!

They also spelled it "TORONOTO" in the page title at the top of the browser window

It appears the registrant company "Domains By Proxy" (in Scottsdale, Arizona) specializes in keeping the true identity of the registrant private.

It turns out that this is a "sister company" owned by GoDaddy...



So one may never know... :roll:

Also, if you go to the root index: http://torontoreputableagenciescoalition.com/ There is a place for hobbyists (the page previously posted with 4 agencies listed), agencies (requiring a username and password presumably...) and even a place for indy's, (nothing there...)

All sounds bogus if you ask me...

 

[F G]

I don't know if bogus is the right word, maybe amateurish????

 

[gina c]

Shit dude, won't even ask how you do that. Impressive stuff.

 

[AdminAVZ]

I agree with Tboy (wait, what?). Overall it seems like an abandoned project. My initial thought was scam, but it might just be neglect.

 

[Jeff H.]

Doesn't seem likely to be a scam; somebody legitimately trying to list reputable agencies would surely include Select and Mirage, and for that reason they wouldn't want to be involved in a scam. I know less about Vixens, but haven't heard anything bad, and while TAG's rep seems a little more mixed, there's enough pro-TAG sentiment for me to easily believe someone could think they legitemately deserved to be on the list. I also lean toward the abandoned amateur project theory, even if it does mean I'm agreeing with tboy.

 

[hippie6irl10]

Good analysis but I tend to disagree. For Vixens, I can vouch and cannot go wrong with them. Steph is a gem. Mirage and Select, we all know their reputation is top notch.

What I don't get is how Tag fits into this scheme. Doc, not sure where you get the "enough pro-Tag sentiment" line. If I were to build that site and included TAG in it I would lose all credibility. Need I say more about Tag?.

 

[Breezy]

God knows, what "yours truly" knows about escort agencies would fit into one small paragraph, (although I HAVE read that the "asian agencies" are notorious for B & S), I was merely commenting on the fact that the site has (apparently) been in existence for almost 3 years, but has only 4 agencies listed, and NO independents. Seems a little strange to me, hence the "bogus" accusation.

And by bogus, I mean not genuine.

 

[googly eyes]

Maybe the Liberals, NDP and Bloc Quebecois formed this coalition?
