Ty for responding though

Of course there is a learning curve in ANY business. There are millions of adult websites out there. We do not claim to be experts. All we can do Steve is try to teach you what we learned, and to help you learn from our own mistakes (And we have made some serious whoppers in our years in this biz thats for sure).
You never needed to take our word on everything, but don't forget that we encouraged you constantly to attend trade shows such as Internext, Xbiz, Qwebec Expo etc, but you refused to attend a single event. Had you done so, you could have met Cathy from Segpay who could have offered you a good alternative to billing, or Mark from CCBill who could have helped you manage fraud and chargebacks (I will never forget his invaluable advice he gave us back in 2005), or Judy from EroAdvertising who could have offered you better traffic, or the Wildline guys for help with Google advertising, and of course tons of content and chat model providers.
PS: Networking is everything, and is what Mbase is based on. You made money thanks to networking. Problem is, you depended on the network to do everything for you and you then (or your model) then tried to steal from it. Sorry but that's the harsh truth.
