Check out this lovely email I found today when I returned from vacation. Should have stayed in fucking Maui.

That's fucking it, after 4 years of business, made them god knows how much money over those years. Checked today, my shit has been suspended and is no longer accepting signups. If I get my 12/15 check I'd be fucking shocked. Glad I paid them that fucking VISA fee!
So, where do I go from here, peeps? So far as I can tell, I have three options:
1) Start again with a new processor.
- Which processor? Which processor isn't going to fuck my ass for the same shit?
2) Get back into the freesite game.
- God I hope not. I just don't have the time these days.
3) Sell the site and get outta the game entirely.
- I'm fucking leaning toward this option. I've fucking had it with this shit, it's made me a crapload of cash but the headaches are beyond painful lately. But then, who the hell buys paysites? Hell, if you're interested, the site makes 50k/year with no overhead other than bandwidth and a few hours' work doing updates and shit.
Advice, por favor muchachos.
