How did you find or arrive on MERB?

[EagerBeaver]

If I recall correctly there was a small circle of regular posters on The Big Doggie (TBD) Montreal section and one of them had told me that MERB was being born. The ones I remember were:

Doc Holliday
Cool Amadeus
Cloudsurf
Trav
Trairunner66
AlexK

The same group of posters were regulars in a chatroom called Doc Holliday's saloon, moderated by Doc Holliday. I can't remember if it was on TBD or in the Saloon where I heard about MERB but it was from someone in this group of posters.

I discovered this forum by chance after Googling a review of SP.

I practiced this hobby before joining Merb for two years in Montreal, more years somewhere else, and suddenly, a whole new world of information appeared lol.

This is nice because in other countries there is no such board

I met with someone through Seeking just as I had moved to town and was getting into escorting and he told me about it!! He also told me about Stella and other resources. (If you're reading this, thank you <3

I found Merb looking for info on high mileage stripclubs. I started my stripclub career in 1999 when it went contact, lived in Toronto at the time. When I moved to Montreal I noticed how all the downtown stripclubs had a strict no grind rule. I started looking around for clubs that offered Toronto style lapdancing (full contact grinding). I used the stripclublist for a while then in 2005 landed on Merb. This site opened my eyes big time and I found lots of info on clubs especially the ones off island. I did not use any escort till 2009.

I went to a strip club first time in November 2014. Less than 2 months later I saw my first escort. Funnily enough I didn’t discover merb until at least 2019. Discovered it by google but wasn’t sure if it was reliable. A provider told me it is ok but can be bad. Created my account in 2021. Resisted it for a long time. But post Covid it became a necessity. I could do without it precovid. First bad thing that happened is backpage going down then Covid. Then of.

I first started looking at agencies at the end of 2019. Until then, for whatever reason, I felt that agencies were intimidating, and it was more comforting texting the actual girl.

XO caught my attention, and I would google the name of girls I was interested in and XO, and that's how I came across this forum.

So glad to have found this place!

Tantric massage chicks ads on IG. Googled her and found Tryst. A day or two later here I was looking up any info I could find about Anna Bellucci.

My barber told me about it.

Prior to discovering the hobby i was reviewing stripclubs that i visited across Ontario & Quebec. I’d post my reviews on a couple of sites such as Stripclublist & Canbest. As time went on i preferred Canbest’s format so i pretty much began to exclusively post there also there was a lot more traffic going on there & interactions between the registered members. One day a buddy of mine asked me if i had seen the other sections on the board & i said i hadn’t. I was mostly focused on the stripclubs. He told me to take a look at the escorts section which he felt may interest me. The moment i began reading the reviews i was hooked! I was also newly single at the time (1999) after having been in a couple of long term relationships & since i wasn’t planning on entering into another commitment the timing was perfect! Finally in October of that year i finally got the nerve to see my first sp during a planned trip to Mtl. I had been planning to attend the Habs season opener against the Leafs & planned to visit & review a few of the local stripclubs during my trip. I remember posting my very first escort review & then receiving dozens of positive feedback from the members for having written such a high quality review considering i was just a beginner! Surprisingly i only returned to Mtl the following summer & finally got the nerve to see another girl on that trip. After seeing that girl i decided to change my handle to Doc Holliday & as time went on the personna took a life of its own & i started seeing more & more ladies as my trips to Mtl increased considerably.

About two or three years later Canbest decided to charge a membership fee & lost a lot of members because of this. We had already heard about another board named Big Doggie (TBD) which now had a section strictly for Montreal. So most of the members from Canbest who posted about Mtl’s escorts moved to that board & it was huge! It was aroumd that time that i decided to start my own board (Doc Holliday’s Saloon) which at one time had as much as 800 members. What set it apart from the other boards was that it had a chatroom where dozens of members would meet up at night to chat & i’d invite agency bookers & some escorts as guests who eventually also became members. As for Big Doggie it was going full tilt for a couple of years & i even was selected by its administrators to be one of their gold members. By the way i don’t ever recall Fred Zed ever being associated with that board.

And then Merb was created (i figure around 2003 or 2004) and although my preference was to remain on Big Doggie someone told me that i should register my handle on Merb a.s.a.p. before someone else steals it from me. So i did. And as time went on it was obvious that Merb was now the new ‘it’ thing & TBD had barely any traffic so i decided to leave TBD permanently & began posting exclusively on Merb. By then i had taking down my own site since it had been taking up way too much of my time & energy so i now had more spare time to concentrate on the newer board.

18 years ago, I was looking for my first SP experience. I was in Freeones.com's forum (if anyone remember that site) and posted there, some member there made some research for me and found Merb and told me to come here for my questions.

This must have been a conversation in the old Saloon because I have the exact same memory- being told to register my handle on the new Board before someone else did and I lost the right to use it.

Years later after MERB exploded in popularity, I learned that a prankster was telling strippers at the Cleopatra strip club that he was EagerBeaver on MERB. I do not know what bad behavior he engaged in under my handle, but no blacklisting resulted from it.
