[QUOTE=TheRocketman91;4068204]Thanks thought it was me. LOL.[/QUOTE]The site still seems to be down. Something's got to be up. Has anyone heard any news reports? Last spring when sites were getting shut down it was big news.
[QUOTE=WarrenAJeffers;4071121]The site still seems to be down. Something's got to be up. Has anyone heard any news reports? Last spring when sites were getting shut down it was big news.[/QUOTE]I've been searching the internet since yesterday looking for news about this. So far-nothing. Last spring, I thought that BP was the main target of their aggression, something that has been in their crosshairs for years. Seeing other sites drop off caught me by surprise. Hopefully its just a technical glitch. In any event, someone connected to the site should at least announce something, rather than keeping us in the dark guessing.

It sounds like they either had a breach of identification or they were contacted by federal LEO.

If we should start to exchange our hobby emails? Last time the lights went out, I was totally in the dark same as every one else. I would be willing to start a list with your handles. Then if something happens we could stay in touch. Something like my family used to have and called a round robin. Or if someone wants to jump in, I will send my email.

Not really a list but just like generic hobby contact info in case stuff never came back. I know Rusty and I have exchanged a lot of info together so we stayed in touch. I don't hobby nearly as much as before but I like to stay on the up just in case. It's getting really hard out there.
To be honest, I feel worse for the girls. We are all, from what it seems on the surface, moderately successful white guys. With some exceptions. Not a whole lot bad is going to happen to us if this all dies. However, statistically, when the internet 'turns its back' so to speak on these girls it spells bad times for them. That's when they lose control and pimps move in, clientele becomes more dangerous, more risk. Most of them are very nice. It's too bad. They can't survive on just the few of us who are pretty good to them.

Especially the girls.
Good idea,
Let me know who's volunteering and I will PM them. I would volunteer myself except I don't get to hobby much nowadays.
Thanks in advance.
