I'm not Jeff...so I can't respond for him, but I do work very closely with him. There is, obviously, another entire side to this story.
I don't know about all of the interactions between Jeff and you, but I do know that on many occasions there were huge technical difficulties on your end, contract issues with the models, etc. For example, Stacey (one of the sites in question) recently made the decision not to do any new content. And as far I know, Karen was supposed to do nude content but demanded more money to do so after the agreement was made.
Jeff is currently out of town, and I spoke with S0laris about this and made it clear to him. Last time Jeff was expected to be out of town for an extended period of time, the EXACT same issue arose. One of you logged into the Perfection Girls servers, removed all of the content from the sites, and took a copy of the htaccess file then deleted both sites with no warning. This pissed off hundreds of users, and is no way to go about working out situations like this. A simple phone call or heads up would have been all it took to make a smooth transition on our end.
A large majority of the traffic to Karen's front page was our own, hence the FPA to divert affiliates to something they would continue to receive credit for signups on. There was a clearly visible link to Karen's main page, and no other links were changed.
Like I said, I don't know about all of your interactions with Jeff, but I do know that twice now problems have arisen when you've known he'd be out of town. Both of you have his phone number and can easily reach him. Business is simple...it involves communication. I'm sure he would have been able to work something out with you.
Here is a snippet of what we discussed last night:
----------
Fletch (08:34 PM) :
I'd wait until Friday and talk to him
S0laris® (08:35 PM) :
we are gonna wait
S0laris® (08:36 PM) :
so end of friday the dns switches. and CCbill is gonna fix it all..
----------
And last time this happened when he was out of town...
----------
S0laris® (10:00 PM) :
we will resolve this in the morning between all of us. Sometimes it takes a big blow up to come to an uderstanding it seems..
S0laris® (10:51 PM) :
we had a good talk.
S0laris® (10:51 PM) :
tell him to take care..
S0laris® (10:51 PM) :
and this will NEVER happen again
S0laris® (10:51 PM) :
I will be more involved myself.
S0laris® (11:26 PM) :
sorry.. you can meet up with me another day and kick my ass
S0laris® (11:28 PM) :
Like I saidl, you can kick my ass some other day,,
S0laris® (11:29 PM) :
I need a good Boot from last nights episode..
Fletch (11:29 PM) :
Haha. I'll get some thugs right over.
----------
I just do the grunt work, but in my opinion there have been some very irrationial decisions made, both when it was known Jeff wouldn't be around.
