If you are planning to join this website (paid member) so you can see pictures of the hooker in Costa Rica... STOP!!!!

There are lots of photos on this site, but most are old. Very few new photos get posted on this website.

Why? Because a select group of individuals have been very vocal about about posting photos of a chica without her explicit permission. There are numerous posts in the VIP section which have turned the tide on picture posting - it just isn't cool nowadays.

The message from the select group is that you are disrespecting the hookers by posting their photos without explicit permission. It just isn't right in so many ways.

So join the site, because you want the discounts, you value the information or because you want to read the VIP forum. Honestly, there is nothing in the VIP forum that can't be found or obtained outside that forum.

Just thought newbies should be warned since I paid my membership so that I could see pictures, this was the primary reason I joined, especially since there is plenty of information outside of the VIP forum.

Talking about pictures of hookers...heres an interesting article from nacion.com on a painter who has done a series of paintings of CR prostitutes.

Google language tools does a reasonable enough translation. Maybe you recognize some some of his muses.

This is the reason I don't post pictures

Doesn't over 50 last month posted in the Tica section alone qualify as more than "very few"? When was the last time you posted any worth looking at, besides pic id: 9753, 1 of the 2 you posted. No offense but it's rather ironic for someone that doesn't contribute any himself to complain about others not posting pics. Also there are other reasons members choose not to post, like guys showing chicas the gallery.

Not worth the hassle to post... Too many little bitches that talk too much with chicas... And too many do gooders that want to see a written consent form.... I definitely don{t pay the membership for the pics. 85% of the gallery are comparable to chicas I used to Phuck when I drank excessively.

I paid for membership to contribute to a great site as well as to defray the cost of it. At some point if the cost is too high then, no more CRT. We take some much information from it, why not give some back.

D2864,

When I saw the thread title, I thought "Oh no! Here we go again." The post or not to post or what to post debate has been worn out many times.

No matter how many times we discuss this issue there will always be "a select group" of classless guys, like you apparently, who figure just because these chicas are "hookers" they're somehow subhuman and therefore not worthy of our consideration of their feelings and desires. Maybe you figure it would be okay to rape them too? I don't know. The point is that there are people who feel strongly on both sides who are unlikely to change their views on the subject and that is just life.

When I opened the thread and read your post, I thought "Holy crap, this post really takes the cake." I've seen a lot of flawed logic from you before but this post might take the cake. Now you seem to be biting the hand that feeds you. If the only reason you joined the site is because of the photo gallery and you feel so ripped off than maybe you should just leave. Personally, like JOsie, I joined the site to support an enterprise that has given me so much whether it was free or not. The VIP forum, photo gallery and discounts are just bonuses. Or maybe you just like stirring up controversy by bringing up already thoroughly discussed subjects again and again. You seem to anticipate this with your new sigline "Attack the idea, not the person." So lets attack those ideas.

"There are lots of photos on this site, but most are old." So? IF that is true, then post some of your own recent photos and rectify that situation. No one is stopping you. No one else owes anything to you or anyone else to post their own photos for your entertainment. (Mulletgutter and Paco have it right). Besides, Paco's analysis belies the basic premise of your entire argument because there are apparently really plenty of new photos

In fact, if it is just for your "entertainment" then it shouldn't really matter how new or old the photos are. If its for being able to assess the overall quality of "hookers" in CR, then it shouldn't necessarily matter how old the photos are either, except to the extent that overall quality changes. To be fair, there is a certain ebb and flow in quality, but things don't really change that much.

And finally, if the reason you want to see recent photos of hookers is because you want to be able somehow identify ones to look for when you go down, you're really barking up the wrong tree anyway. With the possible exception of some MP girls, trying to find a specific chica when you go down to CR is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack. There are some chicas who have been around for a while (and many of them HAVE photos in the gallery even if not the most recent ones) but many if not most really just come and go. You could have a pic of a girl you met last month and you may never see her around when you go next month. Even if chicas are still in the business their schedules are often so erratic, that you never know when they'll be around or, if they're around, when they'll be tied up with another guy. It is so much simpler to move on to the next girl since there are so many then to look for one specific one. Beyond that, if the purpose of photos is just for identification, then naked (or at least fully naked) pics aren't even really necessary. You're not going to see them naked in the bar so knowing whether they have a birthmark near their pu*sy really isn't going to help you pick them out from a crowd. A simple face pic should suffice to do that. And if you need to also get an idea of how attractive their body is, the body shot does not need to include full nudity. And those types of photos should be much easier to obtain permission to post.

But even with all this, what are you going to do? Memorize faces or bring down a photo line-up cheatsheet to compare faces against once you get in the bar? Basically, when you really get down to it, the only practical purpose for the gallery is really just for entertainment (and as some sort of "boasting trophy room" for the guys who post there).

Another absurd and heavily biased statement. What happened to attacking the ideas and not the person? Who "selected" us or what makes us so "select"? Are you suggesting that we're just a tiny insignificant minority? Maybe we are and maybe we aren't, but if we're so small (or "select") then how do we get so much influence? Because we're "vocal"? Doesn't the supposed majority of members who don't feel as we do have just as many opportunities to speak their minds? In fact, the ONLY time I ever weigh in on this topic is when someone else, like you, brings it up and I'm responding to someone, like you, who made a post expressing the opposing view. Why do my "vocalizations" (and those of the other "select few") carry any more (or less) weight than yours? Maybe because our arguments make more sense and thus are more influential with other members. And why doesn't that supposed "silent majority" speak up? Perhaps they don't speak because they can't think of any valid counter-arguments either or justifications for posting photos w/o authorization.

Even if us "killjoys" are just a tiny but extremely vocal minority whose ideas are full of shit, how does that prevent you or anyone else from posting? Do you think that us extremists have set up some sort of posting police? For one thing, if you think posting pics carries such shame because the "select few" has made it uncool, pics CAN still be posted ANONYMOUSLY so that no one will ever know who the "uncool one" was who posted it. In fact, if pics are just posted for purposes of entertainment for other members or for identification rather than to show off, then there would never be any need to even attach your name to a photo even if there weren't any "shame" in doing so. Personally, I rarely if ever go into the photo gallery section so I'd have no idea at all who is posting, let alone whether those pics had been authorized or not. And I'm sure neither I or any other "do-gooder" ever asked to see a "consent form". In fact, the only people who really know whether a particular picture was authorized are the guy who took it and the chica who is in it (and the guy ain't gonna say it).

And that brings us to what is probably the real reason why fewer pics are being posted and it doesn't have anything to do with the "select group" of "do-gooders". Many chicas eventually find out that their pics are on-line. Although I do agree with 3rdW that "too many little bitches talk too much to chicas" (or show other guy's pics to chicas, or who even give out their passwords so the chicas can look them up themselves), I seriously doubt any do-gooder ever asked to see a written consent form (obvious hyperbole). Even though I'm a vocal "do-gooder" who disapproves of unauthorized posting, I can only control what I do and its not my role to police what other people choose to do. I'd still never snitch on a brother. I think those that do have moral issues of their own and I don't think they're really snitching out of any high-minded sense of morality but rather as some twisted attempt to curry favor with those chicas.

But however you feel about posting pics, or how chicas find out about those pics, the simple fact is that they do. And even if a chica didn't discover her pics here or even have any pics here, they all have a friend or acquaintance whose pictures were. Because of all the unauthorized posting that has been done in the past, many chicas are less willing to let their pictures be taken at all or, if they are, have wised up and now specify that they don't want those pics posted on-line. Even if guys think it is okay to post a pic as long as the chica did not specifically say one way or the other whether it was okay to do so, most guys have at least enough decency to respect a chica's wishes when she specifically does say she doesn't want any pics posted. And those guys are not just some "select few".

Monday night at Key Largo I was in the 2nd bar that's located off the entrance to the Del Mar restaurant, right outside that door there's about 4 computers setup for internet access. I was at the corner of the bar with mi amiga and Florida was on my left when he says to me, "are those girls looking at CRT VIP photos?" I turned around and there were 3 girls gathered around the computer checking out the VIP pics, then they called over a couple more of their friends and 5 of them were viewing the website.

Hmmm..now I wonder how they got access to it? Sure, one of them may have paid for a VIP membership but my guess is that some boob gave his novia his username and password.

SK[/b]

SK is right. I doubt any chica had to pay to get in. They're used to US paying THEM and there will always be some asshole who gives in to one of them in some warped attempt to gain some osrt of favor. And all it takes is one guy to do that. Once its done the keys to the vault are shared between all of them. At that point, it doesn't even have to take some guy ratting you out since it has already spread beyond the original chica. All it takes is one chica showing another chica a pic she saw of her. And even if the chicas don't have ANY pics in the gallery, most of them have at least heard about unauthorized chica pics being posted on-line and that makes it harder for ALL of us to get them to agree to being photographed, including the guys that DON'T post unauthorized pics.

Unfortunately, without knowing which specific usernames/passwords have been compromised there is no practical way to close the gate short of requiring EVERYONE to change their passwords. And that would not preclude the exact same thing happening again (probably in very short order). Nor would it do anything about the damage that has already been done since chicas now know that such posting takes place even if they haven't seen the gallery themselves.

The only practical solution is for everyone to understand that posting on-line, even if in a supposedly "private" section, is always going to be subject to being viewed by people you don't know and/or can't control. As such, don't post anything that you wouldn't want others to see. Just because you never asked and she never said whether you can post her pic doesn't mean that she wouldn't possibly find out you posted it and not approve. Justified or not, events have proven that to be so. Unless you KNOW from asking that she is okay with it, you should be prepared to suffer whatever consequences might occur if she finds out. Unfortunately, it is not just you that suffers some consequences but every other guy who likes to take pictures just for themselves and then runs into resistance because of the irresponsible actions of others.

I can't believe I have anything to add to one of Prolijo's posts, but here it is. In addition to all he said, there is one reason I rarely, rarely post pics. There is a certain knuckle-dragging subset of 'brothers' who get off on making the most mean-spirited comments they can think of. It bums me out to read such crap. These guys apparently think that dumping on others proves their superiority. (hint: it doesn't)

I have posted pics in the past of girls of limited appeal (who still get customers, some from CRT, even). I can handle a comment like 'too fat for my taste' or 'nobody I would ever want to do' but a comment like 'Ewww, what an ugly pig, makes me want to puke!!!!' tells a lot more about the commenter than the girl.

I realize there is a subset of the 'brotherhood' who are stuck in junior high. If I had realized it earlier, I certainly wouldn't have posted the 'loch ness' picture, which I have taken plenty of ribbing for, most good natured. But to the snarky asswipes who think they make themselves look big by crapping on others, I'll give you a clue: You are the only one who thinks you're hot shit. Everyone else knows you're an asswipe.

A small brain storm here. Would it be possible to log or catch when someone signs on as a VIP from the Del Rey or the Key Largo computers? Key Largo in particular. I suspect it could be done somehow, though I am not a techie. Or perhaps admin could block those IPs from using the site. As VIPs at least. Just a thought.

I'll admit I have on occasion logged into CRT from the HDR and from the SL (I didn't know there even were any computers at the KL). However, I've never pulled up the photo gallery at those times. Plus, I do it during the day when the place is fairly empty and look over my shoulder to make sure no chicas are in the immediate area when I do. Now I also try to scroll down whenever I pull up a new page so that at least the CRT banner is not showing on the screen.

Still, I'd be willing to forego the ability to go on CRT from those places if it would make this site more secure

I won't comment on the post itself as its not my place but next time someone sees a female checking out the gallery simply walk over and look to the left and you will see the "USERNAME" of who is logged on.

Simply send me a PM with that info and I'll handle it from there.. Whoever is reading this and is giving access to chicas simply stated you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Prolijo, is right though the new gallery you can't see the username any longer.. time to contact mr. Programmer

Thank you for supporting CRT!

Admin 1,
I just checked. If I'm in the archived VIP Gallery section (which really does have just ancient photos at this point), I can see my username on the left. I also see my username when I'm in the FORUM on the top WHEN I'm not scrolled down on the page. However, I don't see any username anywhere at all when I'm in the New VIP Gallery. Am I missing something there? I'm guessing not easily, but is there anything that can be done with the programming so that the username really is always visible and failing that is there anything else you can suggest to determine who's username/password when we see them viewing the Gallery?

One other possible solution (which also works if you can't get close enough to the terminal to see who's username they are using while the chicas are gathered around the PC) is to go to the terminal right after they get off and return to the CRT HOME page (as opposed to the FORUM main page). If you double click on the empty username box you'll see a list of all the usernames that had been keyed in on that computer. There shouldn't be too many since most guys just log into the FORUM and really shouldn't be loggin on to an looking at the VIP Photo Gallery at all when they're at a public terminal that is so easily viewable by outsiders. If they do they should also delete their names from the username text box before they go (more on that in a moment).

Assuming there are a bunch of names, you should jot them all down. That doesn't mean they're all or any of them are actual violators. The chicas MIGHT have deleted the username they were using before they logged off, though I strongly doubt they'd be smart enough to do that. And most of the names could be just from guys who had logged on at some point and hadn't deleted their name from the PC's cookies. But most likely one of the names is the one the chicas were just using.

So, once you've written all the names how do you get them (or yours) off the computer. Well one thing you should do whenever you're using a public terminal is to clear all cookies when you get off. To do that you click Tools>Internet Options then on the General Tab>Browsing History click the Delete... button and then Delete cookies (and everything else). That will clear not only all your stuff but the stuff of everyone that went before you (and hopefully the chicas didn't do this either).

To delete the individual cookies just for CRT, after you've double clicked on the username text box move your cursor down over the drop down list and press delete when you get to the username you want to delete (again, you should really delete all of them).

Before you do that, there is one other thing you should do. Instead of deleting all the usernames right away you could check to see if anyone associated passwords with those names. To do this, instead of pressing delete when you highlight the username, click on it or press enter so that it fills the username text box. If there are a bunch of dots in the password text box that means someone must have clicked "remember this password" at one point when they logged on. Again, this doesn't mean they're guilty of deliberately revealing their user data to the chicas, but it does mean they were pretty stupid. Clear the username text box and then delete their username as you had any others but also make a special note of that on the list of names you send to Admin 1.

Short of it being a smoking gun because you only found one name, the Admin probably won't ban any one just for leaving their name in the cookies but he can contact them and warn them about practicing better security procedures (and ban him if it happens again)

I can no longer find the new VIP gallery or the map. I seem to be having more and more difficulty navigating this site latey and am not sure why?
