    Arika Ames closing shop

    Somehow I knew this would happen

    It is with great regret and apprehension that I must inform you all that ArikaAmes.com must be shut down, by court order. 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.

    That being said, we are requesting that all of you please remove any links, content, or any other ad or marketing tools you may have used to promote ArikaAmes.com from your websites as soon as possible. Arika requested (through counsel) that any picture, video, or any other ad materials or content be removed from the internet as soon as possible, and I would be thankful if you all complied as soon as possible.

    Although this may come as a shock to some of you, and it seems like an impossible event to have occur, it is what was requested and ordered and I do not see any way around it at this point. I want to personally thank each and every one of you for all of your kind and generous help throughout the last couple of years. Without all of you we never would have made it as far as we did and had all the good times and memories that you all were a part of.

    By the end of this weekend (January 15th, 2006) i have no choice but to remove the join page and links to it. I will also be modifying the main pages of the site to advise any new visitors as well as existing members that the site will be closing. After the join page is removed from the site no more new joins will occur. Members will be notified as soon as possible that the site is closing as well. All payments and rebills will continue as normal until the last member is active.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me by e-mail at [email protected] or on ICQ at 346-940-591 or you may contact Arika as well.

    Again I would like to thank you all for your support and kindness over the last couple of years, and I hope you understand that this action is court ordered and I have no choice at this point but to abide by the order.

    Thank you all again for your understanding, Bill Rust ArikaAmes.com

                          "by court order"

                          That part seems odd. If it was an obscenity related issue, they would prosecute her -- not just tell her to shut down. So is this a part of the divorce decree? Reading between the lines seems as if maybe newbreed got rights to the domain ArikaAmes.com but not the content?

                                  At least she sent out a newsletter informing everyone the site will be closing, but 2 days notice to remove links is going to leave a lot of webmasters pissed. Oh well, welcome to the world of promoting single girl sites. Here today, gone tomorrow.

                                            Live by the sword, die by the sword. When a solo girl is on, she can make you fortunes quick. Anyways, another site and model to add to the blacklist I guess.

                                              mmmmkay. Was a bit hesitant in posting that. Glad I'm not the only one who interpreted it that way.

                                              On the other hand, that still leaves free for her to open a site under another domain name, which, honestly is what I would do if I were her. It would just be a matter of how many affiliates would be willing to switch links. But hmmm...If she got some help from say an established affiliate proggie, maybe she could pull it off. Gee, wonder who would be willing to do that? *looks around innocently*

                                              Not to diss anyone involved, but considering that the join page has to come down, what's the value in keeping the domain name other than spite (and of course some traffic that is looking for something that you no longer have)?

                                                It is an idea but I'd have to think you'd be crazy for going back and signing up for her affiliate program. I mean do you really want to be in a position that you have to pull links after every relationship she goes through?

                                                  She'd have to wait a few months for everyone to forget about this, but after 1 or 2 fansign threads, she'd have most of her affiliates back.

                                                        Kinda glad i never really got into the single girl game much, but was going to send this site some traffic. Wonder if 06 will still be a good year for single girl sites. only time will tell

                                                          That part seems odd. If it was an obscenity related issue, they would prosecute her -- not just tell her to shut down. So is this a part of the divorce decree? Reading between the lines seems as if maybe newbreed got rights to the domain ArikaAmes.com but not the content?
                                                          Sounds like the divorce... I don't see what's obsene about her site... it's not extreme holly for christ sake.

It's not from her and it doesn't seem as if she has control at this point over the domain that affiliates have been sending traffic to.

                                                                                  I don't have a horse in this race, but like baddog said, it seems as if someone is out to fuck over someone else, and affiliates are stuck in the middle.

                                                                                  Ugh...it's personal and messy and these situations are why I have always been against sites that focus on one girl. I don't even like shooting the same girl twice.
