Deb:

According to Yahoo there are 7369 external pages linking to debsdeepthroat.com. I had a quick look and all had a 2257 direct link to your site so it's possible that Yahoo is NOT counting the links via refer.ccbill.com (which is a redirect to your site), so the actual number may be higher.

I can't imagine that after being in this business for 7-8 years that you could honestly think that it was fair and professional to close down an established site such as yours in such a short time. That doesn't even give most members enough time to complete the membership they've paid for, which could result in some "surprise" billing transactions in the near future.

Some people have suggested rotating your content but here's another idea: turn it into an archive only site. State clearly on the tour and join page that it's not updated, and reduce the monthly price accordingly (or don't rebill at all). Yeah, that's still pissing off the affiliates that took the time to create ways to promote you, but at least they don't lose *everything* they've worked for.

At the very least I believe you should set up a script that recognises certain referers (ie your affiliate's domains) and redirects to a URL of their choice. Placing a TGP onto a paysite domain with thousands of affiliate links is definitely Not On.
