I am going to have to rethink my strategy with promoting solo girls I guess.
I'd like to know what you come up with.. In the last couple weeks I've signed up to 6-8 programs that have solo girls.. Haven't started to promote them yet because in that time we've had 1 girl "fake" her death, another did die.. another had her site come back after having been closed before (at least I think it was closed) and now Arika is forcing her site to be shut down (didn't she previously say she was going to keep her site going? Did she actually end up paying everyone?). Most solo girls seem to end up being a problem.
From my perspective (which means nothing) they are divorced, they want nothing to do with each other. If he gave her the domain, the site would probably stay up (unless she just wants out of the biz). If he keeps it - he cant do anything with it, but it fucks her up = revenge, but it also fucks the affiliates.
just remove your links and be done with it. if she does return you can decided then if you want to do biz with her. otherwise, who fucking cares? shit happens
OK, I just got home and have been directed to this thread.
First of all I did not want this issue to make it to the boards. Second, her lawyer asked that the site be shut down by her request. I was ordered by the Judge to shut the site down as soon as possible since I did not object to her wishes of wanting it shut down. The site without her participation is worthless, and my understanding based on her lawyers statements were that she no longer intends to be a part of the site nor wants the content to be continued to be used in any capacity.
Hope that clears that up, and I would prefer not to continue on discussing the matter on GFY other than to say that the join page was specifically defined and ordered to be removed on the 12th. of January. If there was a way to shut the site down without removing the join page to insure no one would lose any time or money, someone please clue me in on how to do so.

I love it, just as long as we keep the bedroom door closed from all ears then we can have throw down hard core sex that makes us money haha
fuck it we can have sex on money never did that before
Arika will be single again very soon and that alone is worth the pain. She has already expressed her unhappiness with the dude she hooked up with. He is just holding on for as long as possible. She is also too nice to dump him so quickly. Get ready!
I would wait for your chance to ask her out on a date. Once you get to know her, you might understand what is going on and maybe you will not be so critical of her decisions.
She has a great sense of humor, a killer body, a beautiful smile and passion for life that no man can resist.
Here is my take on the whole thing. This e-mail was unexpected to me and was a surprise when I woke up this morning...
Shutting down the site was not court ordered. It was an agreement made between the parties involved.
Pulling join pages on the 15th is not court ordered. I agreed to give affiliates 30-45 days notice so they could pull their links down, NOT two days notice and join pages coming down tomorrow. Bill has taken that upon himself to do.
I apologize to all of the affiliates. I asked for the 30-45 days. Unfortunately I can't control if Bill decides to pull the join pages down.
My e-mail to the affiliates was going to go out on Monday, I didn't want to send anything out over the weekend. I was under the impression that Bill was done with the site, he has stated it many times. So for this e-mail to go out was very unexpected to both me and my affiliates.
Again I apologize to all the affiliates. This is not what was supposed to happen. I was under the impression everyone would have 30-45 days.
Very ssad that they could not seperate business from family problems. there were sever ways that they could have taken care of this, and neither one lost anything.
Fuck her and her feelings. This isn't good business. If she was interested in staying in this business and making money she would have takep the appropriate steps. This isn't the right thing to do.
The silly chick is about to find out what this means.
you're right, but too bad the rest of gfy doesnt feel the same. she has a pair of tits so she could be back in business next week and the gfy sheep would line up to promote her.
lucky for me i have a good judge of character and decided i would never promote her site. when she first opened up she was offering 50% with the affiliates paying processing. i called her on it and she pretty much said that if i didnt like that she didnt need my traffic.

I'd have told you the same thing. My hosting, my costs to pay models. My costs for design. I think that entitles me to a true 50% partnership with you. True partners split everything, including the processing.
An e-mail went out to all affiliates at 3:22 am this morning. I did not authorize this e-mail nor was it what I asked for in court.
There was a court date for the divorce this past Thursday and the business, ArikaAmes.com, was up for discussion. I asked for 30-45 days for affiliates to pull their links. Nothing was court ordered to shut the site down or to do it on a certain date. It was an agreement between the parties involved. I did not authorize nor agree to pull the join pages down tomorrow. I was not under that impression whatsoever. I was going to send out an e-mail to all of you on Monday to let you know of the changes with the site, obviously that has already been done.
I want to thank all of you for all of your hard work in making ArikaAmes.com such a great success over the past two years. It has been a great experience working with everyone. I wish you all good luck and great success in your future.

Thank you again for everything,

Show me where I said that to you. I would never say that to anyone. When the site first started it was all new. If you look now I had been paying 55%-65% and paying the fees. I am not going to be starting another website with myself, I am doing other things.
Are you nuts? Of course there will be.
Give it some time.
You are done making a few bucks with what ya got in appearance?
You are going to let down fans that gladly pay?
I am not trying to come off mean but I call bullshit or you do not realise you're own worth right now. Like I said give it some time.
We should make a bet...lol. But really, there won't be another website. I somewhat know my worth and I know what I could do, but sometimes other things are more important than that.

Like what?
Anyways I got no bone in this, good luck to all the wounded parties and affiliates in this bloody insane chaotic mess.

Yet you're the one going to shows, living in a nice house or two, driving nice cars, and spoiling your wife while your run of the mill "partner" lives with momma.

Who are you referring to by "partner"? The only partner in my life is my fiancee Belinda. We've lived together 5 years.

Ouch, your logic hurts me.
Simple example:
Donny might have 100 partners, each sending 100 customers.
Donny gets 50% of 10,000 customers while the run of the mill partner gets 50% of 100 customers. Not too complicated.
lol that partner would be the affiliate pushing your program...the one you split everything with
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm a little slow today. Now that post makes sense... so to that I say:
That being the case... shall I sit around at home until all my "partners" have the same quality of life? Everyone has an opportunity to use this business to get ahead in life. It's really not that hard to do.
Her hands ? This is bill that wrote the email... that means SHE wants the site down.
Bingo the only way it would be a court order is if one of them wanted it down.. My guess Would be Arika did. Most girls get burnt out or just are over it.. thats the life of a solosite if the girl owns part of it
Wow...seems like Bill is the one stirring up the shit.
Guess he's not too concerned about his rep now that this is all out in the open.
Anyone still doubt that he sold the webmaster email list now?
dude, that guy got spoofed spam....i seriously doubt that has anything to do with all this
I am in their program, and I haven't gotten anything like that
I get those by the 100's each day, it is called spoofing, it will take one name and match it to a domain...I had one yesterday that was [email protected]

I really hope that's the case because Bill has always been cool with me.
It sucks that he has to deal with this bullshit, but that's the nature of divorce. It sucks. And in this case, they've involved a lot more people than most couples going through a divorce would have to.
It just seems to me like someone is lying here and from the looks of things and the stories we've heard...I can't seem to figure out who. That would just lead me and probably a few others to stay away from anything EITHER of them do in the future. (Unless it's back to snowboards for Bill...then I'm on board irregardless )

Wrong. It was not court ordered, it was an agreement. The site was up for almost 2 years. Situations happened and it was a great experience, but it is time for it to be over with.
