The strange thing is that they just closed. They didn't seem to be willing to sell anything, content, domains, anything. They just stopped everything at once.

Imagine how much cash they could have made for Jesus by selling that operation off.

The guy didn't want to sell the site, images, etc. because he was hoping he could use the site to convert people and help them get over their "sexual addictions". He didn't want anyone to have access to it anymore because he felt it was wrong and immoral.

God DAMN whoever introduced him to the nonsense that is religion.

Well, it wasn't as sudden or as mysterious, but what about Xpics? They went out in the height of their success as well I believe.

Well, it definitely wasn't because of finding God, but it sure shocked a few folks at the time. Put a lot of Newbs back in the caves.

I knew Jeff better then anyone in this business.
I worked with and for Jeff from the month BA opened
to the month he closed it.

He found god, plain and simple.

It's the honest truth.. he was a sex addict and he
found a way to recover his soul I suppose.

It's not a joke, he is in school learning to be a minister at
this very moment.

He is broke and shares an apartment with other people like him.
They BURNED all the content.

Wanna know more, you will have to email me.

I have no association with anyone to do with BA, but I heard through the rumor mill that it was NOT the Jesus thing, that was used as an excuse.

But what do I know

maybe you've spoken to Rich J from adult.com? he used to work at Xpics.

Gman.357, Xpics shut down because they were scamming customers left and right. They were making it near impossible for customers to cancel, amongst other things.

Some interesting articles concerning Xpics:

Yeah, that's what I heard that a while back. I know someone who used to work for them for a brief period.

I'll have to check out those articles for old times sake.
