I am making this a mandatory read as I am getting a lot of PM's from people asking if they did something wrong as some posts that were made recently and some people's PM's have vanished. I did not intentionally delete these or anything like that so please do not assume I did as I am getting angry PM's from people who think I did this intentionally. This is NOT something we on purpose. The site had a major crash yesterday (July 20th 2010) and we lost some data but were able to restore most of the data and get the site back online for everyone. We had a hard drive fail earlier in the week and to make a long story short... this messed up the database that runs cerb. I thought we had it all fixed and sorted out and back on a new drive... but it was not 100% ... turns out we did not have the problem fixed completely as the albums part of the site had another crash yesterday and we almost lost all the ladies photos. I fixed this but in turn had to restore the site using a a backup of the database from the previous night (so some posts during the day were lost and some people got noticed for PM's they had already read - everyone had to log back in and it was just a giant mess) The problem why I can not restore PM's was the backup file was not saving as a complete backup (only a partial backup as the error in the picture table was stopping the backup) so unfortunately some people have lost some PM's and Posts. I have tried my best to restore the PM's and Posts that I could salvage (all others I regret to say have been lost). Many of you store pm's on the site (I do it too and it's a bad habit but I do understand many of you don't want to store this info in other places) I am taking extra steps to ensure the backup database dumps are complete each night so we can avoid this in the future. I have also removed the photos from the database and placed them in a folder on the server (Making the database smaller so this should also help). This was not done previously as it caused a security risk but that risk is no longer an issue so hopefully this stops the same problem from happening in the future. I do apologize for the loss of the PM's and any posts that have gone astray. A public thread on this subject has been opened here where you can comment. http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=30788

Many accounts seam to have very FULL sent item boxes so I have turned on a feature on the system that will remove all "SENT" pm's after 30 days of sitting in your sent pm folder. I think by cutting down this excess amount of storage it will help prevent future issues (and make the backups of the database substantially smaller - therefore making them less prone to not backing up completely). A lot of this is just growing pains for the site.

Well, I am the friend that was lucky enough to accompany Cato to Barb's on that memorable night. I, too, was looking forward to meeting Mr. Cato, whom I had only previously communicated through pm and sms, and whose travels and tales I had tremendously enjoyed hearing about. I also wanted to buy a drink for the man who has helped provide me with invaluable intel, directly contributing to the quality of many of my recent afternoons and evenings (both in Canada recently and in Sydney, Australia). Ok, enough of this bromance....onto my version of events: Phase One: Roksi So I missed Roksi when she was in Sydney and it didnt look like she would be back in Canada while I was here and I was a little sad about that. I just happened to be surfing on the web a couple of days ago and saw she was in Ottawa! So of course I booked for 2 hours. Met her at her place with a bottle of white. I cannot tell you how much an Irish accent turns me on! She was beautiful, funny as hell and great in the bedroom. Without going into all the details, her service was everything I had hoped for and when she pushed me onto the bed and said: "Now you're going to take it like a motherfucker.", I almost fainted from delight. I leave fulfilled and starving for dinner. Amazing meal at the Gastropub with lots of wine. Phase Two: Sierra So I get to Barb's and text Cato I am outside. He waves me in and we sit down in a perfect table - not on pervert's alley but close enough to see all the action. First I get introduced to this short brunette stunner, whose name I quickly forget as I was focusing on ahem, other aspects. She greets me very warmly, as if it were not the first time. She runs off and then a minute later Sierra walks by, tall, slim, toned, wearing these crazy long red leather fuck-me boots! She sits down and I truly feel like a VIP. After a bit Mel comes back and then it's off to the CR. I was already feeling a bit tipsy from the wine so I walk carefully with Sierra to our booth. I have to ask for a refresher as to the rules of engagement as it has been a very long time since I have been to a strip club in Canada. I am very pleased to find out there will be lots of interaction. I think I will likely have a couple songs-worth but I am so happy to chat with Sierra as she shows off her incredible body that I go 7 songs! I stumble out to find Cato and thank him for another amazing introduction. Phase Three: Mel After another drink and a trip to the ATM (wasn't preprared financially!), I go back to the CR with Mel, this pint-sized spinner who is stunning. She does her thing and I lover every inch of her body. She demonstrates her flexibility and every time she swings her leg over my head I instinctively duck! No need as her coordination and timing are excellent. Thank goodness I had that session with Roksi - otherwise all of this teasing would kill me! Phase Four: Down and out in the nation's capital So after some more drinks and chatting, Cato and I find ourselves outside Barb's with no money in our pockets. We spent the lot. The ATM's are broken. So we panhandle for an hour to make money for a taxi. Was it worth it? You better believe it! Thank you Cato :bowdown: Editor's note: Everything above is true except the panhandling part :-P

in a sea of what seems to be "dos and Do-not" threads that have lead to somewhat negative perceptions of some of us ladies on here, I would like to start a more positive thread directed towards the ladies about dates they've had recently that at the end of the day make us sigh a lovely sigh and make us say "gosh darn-it....i REALLY LOVE my job!" (this is not to say we dont love our jobs to begin with. I totally do! but what special things sometimes make you REALLY REALLY love it at the end of the day? One of my new favorites definitely loves to take his time, books at least two hours and is a wonderful dancer. He happens to share my love for Jazz and we spend almost the first hour talking, sipping wine and dancing. He literally sweeps me off my feet (and if I'm lucky, I get dipped too! lol)! Sometimes I have to admit that I've caught myself watching him leave through the peep-hole...that is where I sigh to myself and definitely the inner monologue plays saying "sigh...i love my job" ;-) Another client I have always books a very nice hotel suite for us and is insistent on asking what i feel like eating as a snack or drinking for a beverage...even if I say I'm not fussy. Just the idea that someone is being so considerate is very thoughtful and goes a long way...when I hang up the phone or fire of my reply email at home setting up our date with the possibility of shrimp and lobster I say to myself "sigh...I love my job" Ladies in the industry: what little extra things or recent fun perks on the day-to-day basis of your work-life make you pause and think to yourself the same? it could be luxurious or even something simple and kind, sexual or non-sexual

For those that know me you know that I love hugging, this video touched me since they are giving free hugs to anyone who wants one. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=hN8CKwdosjE Don't you feel better after someone gave you a hug? I know I sure do. I find its a sign of affection and approval. So to all of you from me hugs and kisses(kisses are for the girls only).

It might be a good idea to also limit the in-box messages as well. 1,000 is too generous & unnecessary. I think 500 is still more than enough. (in-box & sent) A lot of us will fill-up our in-box & not delete messages because we can. Maybe start with new members & see how that goes.
