There is nothing wrong with being gay, but the Nazis made homosexuals register and wear pink triangles before they said, "what they hey let's gas 'em." There is nothing wrong with being Jewish, but the Nazis made Jews register and wear yellow stars before they said, "what they hey let's gas 'em." It sounds over-the-top, but it was over-the-top and surprising the first time.

That said, I think Globill could have given webmasters the opportunity to retrieve their data before taking everything down. I do regular backups, so I lost very little, but this is not the case for everyone.

Of course I am really upset about my rebills and my dough, but I have pretty unique sites that my members enjoy, so I expect that most folks will rejoin. I will probably give some sort of sweet deal to them, same as TheSaint. I've been getting phone calls and emails from a bunch of decent processors, but I'm going to go with ccbill for now and I think that will be good for my affiliate program as folks such as spotbrokers who were uncomfortable with globill will be comfortable with ccbill.

But like Labret said, it is absurd to celebrate the death of a processor. News bulletin: This is a high risk business and there is always the possibility that the well will run dry for everyone, so no use crying and no sense celebrating.

There's nothing absurd about celebrating a company trying to screw Visa over going out of business. What's absurd is they stayed in business for so long and misled webmasters for so long. Do you believe they just found out they would be shut down yesterday?
