        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.

                      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.

                      I love her.

                          She paid me to post that. Is that the same as a commercial? J/K!

                                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.

                                      But hey. thats life.

                                      Thank god it does not effect me.

                                          Although this may come as a shock to some of you, and it seems like an impossible event to have occur,
                                          Yes, I for one am absolutely shocked and astounded that a young, single girl site model would flake out.

                                          An even better idea would be to marry her. I'm sure she won't toss the baby out with the bathwater later.

                                              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.

                                                      just got this in email:

                                                      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.

                                                      If anyone has any questions or comments you can e-mail me at [email protected] or icq me 314694667

                                                        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.

                                                          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.
                                                          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.

Everyone has an opportunity to use this business to get ahead in life. It's really not that hard to do.

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

                                                                                                    I am in their program, and I haven't gotten anything like that

                                                                                                    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 )

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

                                                                                                      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.
