Closing Submits & Leaving Biz

ladydesigner · 2009-03-07, 08:16 AM

I wanted to let everyone know that I'm closing the submits in the next few days at Click 4Sex Fun and Sexy Smut Links.

With a heavy heart, I've decided I need to leave this business. I've spent over 10+ years in adult and have made a lot of very good friends. This is for personal reason as well as the fact that I'm just not making the money that I need to at this point in my life.

My plan is this: close submits but leave the links lists up for now. All reviews are up to date. I'll review/list any sites that come in over the next few days.

As some already know, I'd like to sell my little porn empire. Domains, link lists, hubs, blogs, free sites, etc. Not sure if this is going to be possible though with the way the economy is. As a heads up to everyone, if I'm unable to sell, I will have to just quietly pull the plug, shut down the domains and walk away. Before anyone suggests just leaving the sites/domains up, that's not financially possible right now.

Thanks all for taking the time to read this. It's been a hell of a ride....

Wow

So what career are you planning on switching to?

LD · 2009-03-07, 08:56 AM

Wow...you were always very helpful to me getting started and your sites are such high quality. It's tough, as I've become painfully aware.

hashbury · 2009-03-07, 09:14 AM

I hate to here that ladydesigner. You were one of the first people to inspire me in this biz.

blinki bill · 2009-03-07, 09:20 AM

I'm really sorry to read that...
Your lists were one of my favorite ones, some times is pain in the ass to get listed but that helps be more aware of how quality are the sites you are submitting and keeps your eyes opened!

Being a mom to my 4 kiddos. That's what I'm going to do.

ladydesigner · 2009-03-07, 10:29 AM

Thanks everyone. This is VERY sad for me but best for my family. I seriously hope to not burn any bridges and do this the right way as one day, I may find myself wandering back. You just never know....

plateman · 2009-03-07, 11:05 AM

thats sad I'll miss your submitts, your presence on the board, I think you been submitting since I open my LL

take care and try and leave your sites online, cause I still think and hope that someday things will turn around in this country and those crooks will be shut down, (the people that have ruined our biz)

HowlingWulf · 2009-03-07, 11:18 AM

Sorry to hear that.
Maybe you can park your domains on a fellow webmaster's server. How many do you have?

NY Jester · 2009-03-07, 12:23 PM

Aww, LadyD I'll be sad to see you go. Hope all works out for you no matter what path you may go down.

docholly · 2009-03-07, 12:34 PM

Sorry to hear that .. it's a tough and tragic time right now but we still have HOPE that things will change. Just because you are leaving the biz doesn't mean you can't stop in and say HI once in a while and many have made a comeback -- you could be our "Phoenix" .. Good luck for wherever that path may lead.

Beaver Bob · 2009-03-07, 12:48 PM

best of luck to you

Preacher · 2009-03-07, 12:53 PM

I'm sorry to hear that, I count you as one of the good guys.

Let me know if you don't get any offers and I'll see what I can do. I'd hate to see you lose any residual income from past submitted freesites which I know you built a lot of.

SheepGuy · 2009-03-07, 01:24 PM

Very sorry to hear that LadyD ;( Your sites are some of the best I've seen and if you ever do want to come back that would be great!
Best wishes for a happy future.

bluebrit · 2009-03-07, 03:16 PM

Sorry to see you go lady D but i hope things work out well for you.

ponygirl · 2009-03-07, 03:27 PM

wow, that does suck

We'll miss you, hope you can get everything worked out with your sites

LeRoy · 2009-03-07, 04:06 PM

Wow. Sorry to see you go but I'm happy to hear you're gonna to spend your time with the kids. That's the good thing that's coming out of this.

Thanks for all the listings and everything else. I'll miss you around here Lady Designer.

sue-fl · 2009-03-07, 04:06 PM

I wish you nothing but the best LadyD but hate to see you have to leave. You do fine work and are so nice, you will be missed.

bluemoney · 2009-03-07, 04:28 PM

Awwwww Hell No!

We're going to lose a class act and one of the best FS builders around . . . . Damn it!

Good luck LD

bDok · 2009-03-07, 05:51 PM

Sad news indeed. Always easy to click accept on your freesites.

Before pulling the plug please come back if you haven't found homes for things. I'll PM you too.

Selling is always an option but you may reconsider what HowlingWulf said. In these times you will not be paid for what hard work you put into your sites.
When it comes to the last decision please reconsider that here you will find webmaster's that may easily offer you a some server space.
(Including ME

)

Anyway Good Luck with anything that comes up for you and thank you for all those great quality fs submits.

It was pleasure to review your sites.

ladydesigner · 2009-03-07, 06:18 PM

Oh man! You guys (and girls!) are the BEST!! I sincerely appreciate all the offers of hosting and the great advice you've given. I've spoken to some of you already and will go answer my PM's in a second. I just got home and was totally shocked by the well wishes from all of you. Let me just say, this isn't all about money. Folks, I'm just plain tired and need a break. Who knows, I might be back someday. It's nice to know y'all will still be here if that happens.

smutguy · 2009-03-07, 06:54 PM

Sorry to see you go.. you will be missed on our blog posting project...

Best of luck to you
