alls fair in love n war...
cut your losses I guess...
I would suggest somehow working affiliates to accept punker barbie sites lol

imageman · 01-14-2006, 03:27 PM

Its a pity peoples private sorrows have to be plastered all over GFY. Divorce can be an amazingly stressful time and in the heat of the moment things are said and done that later people regret.

This situation highlights the amazing job the Steve Lightspeed is doing keeping all those single girl sites running for such a long time. I admire his stamina and his guts.

When unavoidable issues like this occur it makes me all the more certain we will only open single girl sites if we have enough content to keep them updated for many years and that is not easy to do.

My best wishes go out to both of you and i sincerely hope you both move on and grow from the experience.

Well, after talking to Bill one thing is obvious: someone is lying to us.

Hmmmm....

ArikaAmes · 01-14-2006, 04:05 PM

Your right someone is lying. Have a court order shown to me then we will see who is lying.
The reason I had my lawyer ask for that amount of time before the site was shut down was so affiliates could pull their links. I don't care what happens to me or the site as long as other people don't get screwed over. I have never ever agreed to have the join pages pulled in such a short amount of time. I just wouldn't do that and I didn't think that Bill would ever do that either.

Also I didn't take down my sig because I didn't know all of this would be happening today, I thought I had 30-45 days.

I give my permission to post a court order to the public. If there is one, lets see it.

Just to clarify . . . I don't know who is lying, just that someone is.

Another question I asked that I did not see an answer to, you are the one that wants the site down, or is it Bill?

baddog · 01-14-2006, 04:15 PM

. . . or Tim?

I do want the site down, yes, although it was a mutual decision in the court between the both of us to take the site down. I want a clean break from working with Bill so the site has to come down. It is easier and better off that way.

See, that is where I become disappointed.

Adults, in business, should be able to figure out a way to keep it going. I would think it would be worth it to you to buy him out.

Now, if you attempted to do that and he refused to cooperate, then shame on him.

After Shock Media · 01-14-2006, 04:23 PM

Damn it!

Ok I just finished pulling 44 different galleries through my network. As luck would also have it todays main update was Arika as well.
Somehow somewhere I seem to recall being assured this would not happen with the site and the divorce.

Yeah, I was looking through my blog wondering WTF I was going to do with all the entries dedicated to her.

I apologize for that, I really truly do. I know whenever affiliates or soon to be affiliates hit me up and asked me about it, I told them to hold off on putting up links because things were so up in the air.

ModelPerfect · 01-14-2006, 04:40 PM

How do these two statements from the original post agree?"

Quote:

On January 12th, 2006, I was ordered by a judge to shut the site down as soon as possible. When asked how long it would take to do this as painlessly and efficiently as possible, I suggested 30-45 days. I did explain to the court that it is not as easy as just pulling the site or join page down, but that each one of you needed to be contacted and allowed sufficient time to make any adjustments to your websites or networks. The court recognized my plea and allowed the time asked for to cease and desist operations involving ArikaAmes.com/Arika, Inc. and Twisted Data, LLC.

Quote:

By the end of this weekend (January 15th, 2006) i have no choice but to remove the join page and links to it.

I understand needing to take down the join page, but rather than allowing "sufficient time to make any adjustments", aren't they effectively only giving a couple of days? No point keeping any links/galleries/free sites up if they're not accepting any new joins. Just seemed odd to me to make allowances for time for their affiliates and not actually give it to them. In any case, good luck to all involved.

Hey shit happens and I can understand that. Life is not long enough for me to stressed or get pissed over something as small as this. Simple fact of business, income streams dry up, companies go out of business, and external forces will require me to adjust.

I appreciate your apology, though it is unnecessary in reality. We may be partners affiliate wise but it is your site, body, and life. You get to make the calls as far as I am concerned. I hope whatever you decide to do makes you happy.

tical · 01-14-2006, 04:48 PM

meh, what a bunch of crap arika

bill waited WAY too long to pull this site down in my opinion... he should have done it a long time ago and the only reason he didn't was because he thought perhaps you would have wisened up and kept it off the ground yourself...

there were other options and paths for you to follow with regards to arikaames.com that could have removed bill from the equation LONG AGO and you know that

why should he maintain your site for you when you're lying in court, trying to get him for anything and everything (even that TV we were going to give you guys) and just acting like this guy is only out to get you when all he wanted to do was come to a fair agreement with you. .

fuck that, don't act all helpless and broke and like you can't do shit.... i'm sure you're still hustling & you've had MORE than enough time to make a move for your affiliates and didn't do anything

you know your fucking lawyer ordered this site down asap at your request + you weren't even in the courtroom to hear the orders made

there is no way bill should be held liable in the eyes of the affiliates for any of this and anyone in the know (even your shitbag boyfriend) can't say otherwise

he's done more than enough for you

tony286 · 01-14-2006, 05:23 PM

Never met Arika but Bill has always been a very nice guy. My wife has imed him with multiple biz questions, he has always made time and been very kind to her. I have a hard time believing he is a monster, that cant be turned on and off.

Bull Fucking Shit.
First of all, he has lived in my house rent fuckin free for how many months? What about you giving me a call telling me that he has a job and all of his living expenses were going to be paid. That's funny because he hasn't paid shit. He wanted me to give up the house but keep it in my name, I would have been insane to do that.
Bill waiting too long to pull the site down? The site is marital. I had great expectations for the site, but of course everything had to be difficult. He hasn't worked on the site for months and when he was still doing work on it back in september, I tried to give him money and he wouldn't take it. That's not my problem. I have never wanted shit from him nor have I ever gotten shit from him. I have no idea why you brought up the tv you were going to give HIM. I don't even watch tv. I never wanted it. I told him that if he was going to get it if I could take the other one that was bought, but then I said fuck it and never took it.

Jason, you don't know shit. You are being fed tons and tons of bullshit. But believe what you want. I am glad you are a friend to bill and I am glad that you were a friend to bill, but you know absolutely nothing about me or what I do.

. . . the most chilling fact about serial killers is that they are rational and calculating. As the "British Jeffrey Dahmer" Dennis Nilsen put it, "a mind can be evil without being abnormal."

Statistically, the average serial killer is a white male from a lower to middle class background, usually in his twenties or thirties. Many were physically or emotionally abused by parents. Some were adopted. As children, fledgling serial killers often set fires, torture animals, and wet their beds (these red-flag behaviors are known as the "triad" of symptoms.) Some are very intelligent and have shown great promise as successful professionals in the adult online industry.

My guess is that the rumors are based on the fact that you guys have been talking on her behalf a lot in threads and defending her at every turn. I'd assume that people would have less speculation if you were truly separate from her and her business regardless of personal relationships. Just my
