    That is what I garnered from it as well. They have been around too long to have not done that.

In regards to your quote Justin.....you may not have experienced a beneficial ROI but I can assure you that several other companies did. And as for there reasoning for R rated banners only, that was in relation to 2257 documentation needing to be held when using xxx rated banners that would be hosted on their server. They were simply covering their ass from any legalities that may have occurred by offering XXX rated banner hosting.

        All in all, both Scott and Tony are wonderful people and I wish them all the best!
        I can only concur with Kiwi - during the time I worked with Scott & Tony they always did their utmost to do their best by me, and in making their business relationships long-lasting ones. This most definitely could not have been an easy decision. These are rough times for many it seems, and even the best of people can be hit by that.

          That must be why they haven't replied to my email after they spammed me a few days ago asking if I wanted to advertise with them. Guess I was lucky

              It shouldn't... one of the primary purposes of having a corporation is to create a separate entity, breaking liability between personal and corporate and also corporate and personal. Very odd.

              If you run any business at all and make any kind of money, you should have a corporation.

                It's a real shame that they are going out of business. We used to work with Trafficdude years ago and I credit Scott especially with helping us take a giant leap forward in business and marketing back when we were n00bs. SCOTT, SIR: YOU WILL BE MISSED.

                    My deepest condolences to both Scott and Tony. I have known them all the way back to 1996 when Scott was with WebSideStory and we have been very dear friends and done business with them ever since. Of the people I can count on 10 fingers in this industry (or any industry, for that matter), they have the highest degree of integrity, intelligence and compassion, paralleled by none. I wish them both the very best in the future.

                        i dont know their situation, but its not uncommon for a bank or a vendor to make the corp officer/s sign a personal guarantee with regard to corp debt ...

                            Can anyone actually confirm this? I'm not seeing it anywhere else except in this thread referencing a poorly written email.

                              Agreed. Best of luck to Tony and Scott, I know that they tried their best and am sorry to hear that things can't be figured out.
