That is truly amazing that they have 20 adult websites processing with them.

I still have a windows '98 box with ibill bookmarked...:(

What's the betting they will not name them?

100 to 1 would be a good bet.

They owe me 20k. Does anyone have copies of their sincerely worded emails about catching up payments? They came across like boyscouts. A lot of webmasters had been with them for so long that we bought it, hook - line and sinker.

About 12 months before the shit hit the fan I started warning people about IBILL and switching as many members as I could to CCBILL and Epoch. Sadly I had some affiliates that where not convinced of Ibills demise and insisted on keeping with them, hence the $80,000 loss. But this is a drop in the ocean compared to the millions lost by others, it seems IBILL persuaded them to stay by offering shares in the company promissory notes and reduced billing fees only to shit on them as well. :mad:

NewYork Daily Times published an article comparing Ibill to Enron when this was going on. It was a good read.

Paul Markham 07-13-2009 01:35 AM

I hear all the hate and bile here and fully understand it. But the question is can Ibill survive long term.

I seriously doubt if Ibill will be around for long as they will sink because of costs, whether this time they are legit or not.

They have costs to cover day after day, whether they take $10 or $10,000,000. These costs are fixed, the more they grow the more these costs grow. Though not in proportion to their revenue. However to cover those basic costs they need XXX amount of business. With their 5% charges they will need a lot more than normal.

The days of new inexperienced people running big web companies profitably are very much over. So where will the business Ibill need to cover their costs come from? Not from those who know their history I wager.

Anyone processing with them runs the risk that the incoming revenue to Ibill will not cover the outgoing costs which leads to closure and loss of the business.

Hey when if/when the current owners give up... sell me the domain name. Sure, Ibill fucked me, you, my friends, my clients. Right now all that is ancient, painful history. Lets get this 4 letter domain into some hands that can do something innovative and good in our marketplace without any association to the original debacle.

It still amazes me nobody is in prison and that the domain didn't end up in the hands of a court appointed receiver.

How does something like this happen? For the ones that got out early, were there any warning signs at all?

F-U-Jimmy 07-15-2009 07:24 PM

If i remember the rot started with the web 900 fiasco then the sale of IBILL to Penthouse. Im sure others can remember more than this. :Oh crap
