arikaames.com down the shitter **singing another one bites the dust**

just got an email...why anyone would ever bother promoting a solo girl site is beyond me...i guess solo girl sites do have good runs for a while, but they almost always end up in the shitter

Quote:

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 bill@newbreedmedia.com 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

oh wow, apparently this was posted on another board and someone removed the part that asked that it not be posted to the boards

sorry Bill, I got the email forwarded to me, which was obviously copy and pasted from GFY

damn, now I feel bad

I've only had one cup of coffee so forgive me if I missed something.

Did she issue the court order and won or was this a case of obscenity?

Did anyone read the article in AVN from Clyde Dewitt?

Blow by Blow: Clyde DeWitt details the nightmare of defending a federal obscenity prosecution.

http://www.avnonline.com/index.php?Primary_Navigation=Editorial&Action=View _Article&Content_ID=253147

Obscenity is not new news and since inception of adult obscenity via community standards has been an issue. I don’t see the urgency now unless the political tempo has changed that much. Maybe the issue of this teen site tugged too close to home. Even I have a hard time with the teen stuff and I won’t promote it.

Still, it makes me wonder because I operate BDSM sites and although they are not my sole source of income, I enjoy running them but not enough to go to jail over.

We talked about this before… what if a US company host or operates their adult business in another country? Are they still subject to these laws? What about an offshore company, say Interclimax – where anyone in the US can access their sites and content. How is Polly Ann special agent going to get a court order to serve them?

I just never really understood all this. I try real hard but there seems to be too many “what if’s” and bullshit. Then again don’t ask me what I think of the fucking Bush administration.

court order or not, the join page is still there and probably will be 'til the last day the site is on

you see, J'dude, this is just unwise to build your business around your wife. One divorce and you have nobody to pimp. One day your little cock is next.

sucks to lose your business because of a woman 'changing her mind' and then taking your ass to court over it. if Rhetorical = jspinger = j'dude = ArikaAmes hubby
then i finally have my answer to the thread i posted a couple of days ago LOL
oh the dangled webs we weave

rhetorical is just some troll who is addicted to Oprano...i think he may have done something in this biz years ago, but from what I hear he is pretty washed up now

I believe it's NY Tim She's with, and he's quite a nice guy. There has been a lot of back and forth from both sides on this.. I believe Arika and Bill have both made their own contributions to things as they stand. She replies to him later in the GFY thread, gives a different twist on things.

Shutting down the site was not court ordered. It was an agreement made between the parties involved.
Pulling join pages on the 15th is not court ordered. I agreed to give affiliates 30-45 days notice so they could pull their links down, NOT two days notice and join pages coming down tomorrow. Bill has taken that upon himself to do.

I apologize to all of the affiliates. I asked for the 30-45 days. Unfortunately I can't control if Bill decides to pull the join pages down.
My e-mail to the affiliates was going to go out on Monday, I didn't want to send anything out over the weekend. I was under the impression that Bill was done with the site, he has stated it many times. So for this e-mail to go out was very unexpected to both me and my affiliates.
Again I apologize to all the affiliates. This is not what was supposed to happen. I was under the impression everyone would have 30-45 days.

Re: arikaames.com down the shitter **singing another one bites the dust**

the arika sent this email out shortly after posting on gfy

Quote:

An e-mail went out to all affiliates at 3:22 am this morning. I did not authorize this e-mail nor was it what I asked for in court.
There was a court date for the divorce this past Thursday and the business, ArikaAmes.com, was up for discussion. I asked for 30-45 days for affiliates to pull their links. Nothing was court ordered to shut the site down or to do it on a certain date. It was an agreement between the parties involved. I did not authorize nor agree to pull the join pages down tomorrow. I was not under that impression whatsoever. I was going to send out an e-mail to all of you on Monday to let you know of the changes with the site, obviously that has already been done.

I want to thank all of you for all of your hard work in making ArikaAmes.com such a great success over the past two years. It has been a great experience working with everyone. I wish you all good luck and great success in your future.

If anyone has any questions or comments you can e-mail me at arikainc1@hotmail.com or icq me 314694667

Thank you again for everything,

Arika

No she is not pregnant so please dont start the rumor mill..

It is her choice and her business why she does not want to do another site.
So people speculating and making stuff up is just nonsense.
