Well folks, it looks like it's back to the bars, chat rooms, chat roulette, online dating services, blind date hookups, grocery stores, coffee shops, and every other new and old fashioned way of hooking up, because Craigslist's 'Adult Services' section looks to be off the table.
There hasn't been any official announcement, but as of last Friday, the online classifieds slapped a "censored" box over what used to be the Adult Services URL.
According to The Consumerist, Craigslist has drawn the ire from at least 18 states' attorneys general over the sultry section, each one charging that it's used for illegal prostitution and sex trafficking. Whether or not the section blockade is temporary or permanent remains to be seen.

Yes because Adult listings are morally bad and everyone that uses them will go to hell.

How is a $10 dollar blow job enough to land me in hell? If it's so evil why did god make it feel so good?

The U.S.: The most ass-backwards nation on the face of the planet. North Korea even does far better. As they say, North Korea is best Korea.

Well, this is the first I've heard about it.
Is the One Night Stand portion of Cragslist still up? Granted, it sucked so hard because of spammers, but you never know when one would want to head in that direction for... reminiscent reasons...

Hmm...I doubt I'll be using Craigslist again in the future. I thought it was a pretty good deal that with every item bought a bonus prostitute was included.
