You fail to understand how this bussiness works at the most basic levels. You can't take down your site; You have paying members. Also, a good portion of the traffic you have coming in is now lost, no matter that you've now announced in this thread that you'll be keeping your site open. The damage has been done; Links have already started coming down.

I don't know Mutt personally. I've done some business with him and he's been great; I've heard wonderful things about him. Seems to me like he was the best thing that has ever happened to you and he was asking nothing in return.

I see a sea of change for the industry in how models will be dealt with in the future. Program owners are tired of putting in time, effort, and money into a model only to have them leave every time the grass is greener on the side. I see it coming in the near future where photographers will play dumb with models, shoot them in bulk, never tell them about a site, never take them to shows, and never cut them in on the profits of the site.

And new models come around every day of the week.
