having to shut down a site???
 

we've had a small paysite up for 2 months....

now to un-usual circumstances... we have to shut it down...

what is the best way to do this and not fuck over or piss off the people who have been members?


any help is appreciated!


thanks

First question is why do you have to?

If you have other sites transfer them over to that. Send them an e-mail telling them, and request a response. Give them a free month.

Pornguy... yeah... that's basically what I was going to do... thanks!

I was throwing it out there to you GFY'ers hoping other good/viable options came up that I just never thought of!



thanks

Wait till the end of the month don't accept new member anymore and stop billing after that with an explanation e-mail.

The big question is, why do you shut down?Copyright infringement? :winkwink:

Not to push the issue but give us a heads up on why you shut down so others can keep from going the same path.:glugglug

i have an amateur couple site... a real couple.... and they get nasty as fuck


she works in a bank... someone came in... recognized her from the site and she freaked.

Re-runs just like the TV industry does.

must have been embarassing... but really, what did she think that no one in her town surfs porn?

Its simple.

1. stop all rebills
2. redirect joins to another site and email all affiliates that they need to change their links
3. when the last member expires shut down the site.

Wow that would suck for her but good luck and stop billing at the end of the month and no new members but tell them in the email that you have a free pass for a month for them and they will probab;y stick with you...

Does she live in a small town?

... here is your chance to go all the way, start informing the press now.

Huge city... Houston... 4.5 million people


and it's so weird.... after the first week of the site being up...


someone came in and said someone to her about it (WHAT ARE THE FUCKING CHANCES OF THAT?!).... she didn't let it affect her.... and we kept going...

but then... in the last 1-2 weeks... several people have come in... one even spoke to the manager and he confronted her.

It's not a pretty situation!

>>>>... here is your chance to go all the way, start informing the press now.



Haha... don't think I didn't think about that for a minute...or a few days... ;)
:glugglug

Bank business must be booming...

Guys cumming to do deposits....

That Sucks Big Time!

Give her an alias and a fictional POR then put it up again on a different domain. It sounds like she was getting a few sign-ups.

yea thats about it.....why not while your att it e-mail all the surfers with a fantastic opportunity to join another site for free or something.....

tell her to start slipping her URL to all customers who come in and she sees they've got a credit card with the bank ;)

:1orglaugh NICE...LOL

Is it possible to filter out IPs on state-basis? If so then block visitors from that one state. I have heard of one site that claimed to be doing that.

Did she ask the bank to sponsor the site?

hmm and to think nobody has asked for the url yet.

It is possible.

This thread is useless without pictures or videos.

thanks for all the webmasters that took time to give real, legit info to help.


thanks so much!!

I dunno about that. Kinda sounds like bullshit.... I mean, seriously.... would any of you go up to a manager at a bank (or grocery store or whatever) and say, "Yeah, I was surfing porn the other night, and I saw an employee of yours fucking on a site". I think SHE may be having second thoughts. I think someone might have talked to HER about it, but I can't imagine anyone going to someone else. "Can you get your manager. I want to tell him I surf for porn on the internet"

the manager is 30 years old.... it was a friend of his that talked to him about it.

Yeah, he's right.. you might even be able to get her on Howard Stern..

Did she get fired?

I love it, a chick does some porn, only looks at the short term $$$, and freaks out when she actually realize people look at it!

This sounds like a big $$$ deal for you. Don't pass up a good opportunity. Make sure you have releases and let the signups pour in. You will enjoy making 100% instead of a shitty rev-share 50%.
