Shemale Canada

[cindy]

So sorry to hear this CraigyB and I think Snoodle's idea of setting something up on this forum so we can post our contact info and pictures would be great. Possibly we we all be busier.

CraigyB I have always appreciated Shemalecanada, especially when I only work parttime.

They are totally lying to me about the assets and liabilities, I have an accounting degree, but they don't care what i say.
I suspect maybe they just changed management and are saying it is new owners.
When I asked for the name of the President, all they could provide was the name of the founder.
I said, the founder is the old owner? They had no answer.

It just ain't worth a lawyer, i'd just lose money.
Unless I could find others that have had the same issue

They probably just figure they can ditch the adult sites and steal our money and they are in the right.

I think you are probably right. I did some simple checking on the company and it sounds like they will take any chance to screw over any client. http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109084 This just happens to be the excuse they are using with you. Your best bet is find another hosting company and make sure they are clear that it is an adult website. It sucks but you cant make anything if you are down. Good luck.

I specifically went with them because they allowed adult sites.
They just quietly changed their terms and conditions after 7 years.

They had a bad name in the past and I had my issues, however they really worked with me in the last number of years to speed up my site and keep it up and running. So this is a shock to me.

Why they wouldn't want to keep taking my money is beyond comprehension. Instead they just rip me off for what i already gave.

it's still down, i'm going nuts without it!

I would at least send a complaint to the BBB. If the money owed to you is considerable look for a lawyer that will take a case like this for a percentage of the claim if they win...I don't know if a lot of lawyers do this, but I know some do.

Assholes like this do this all the time because they know they will get away with it because most people won't fight it...but if it has happened to you, you can be pretty sure it has happened to many others.

Everyone here owes much to Craig for the help he has provided us all!

ShemaleCanada has provided so much assistance to this community and now, unfortunately, it's sudden loss will cause great upset to the whole community. Both the girls and their followers will find it hard to make up for for its absence!

I can't help but think that the company Craig has been using as his host, is fearful of being challenged under US law in somewhat the same way as was Craigslist recently! For that reason they may be dumping any adult content they currently host. That does not absolve them however, from treating their clients in a proper business-like manner, by giving proper notice of proposed changes and compensation for unused credits due to such cancellation.

I wonder if there might be a more agreeable provider willing to provide service for Craig's venture in Canada where the law may probably be more accepting of such a site.

I feel completely lost without ShemaleCanada

I sent Craig information of a long time friend of mine who sounded more than happy to host shemalecanada.com. Plus he is an admirerer and he had full knowledge as to what shemalecanada was from frequenting the website himself. So I guess the rest is up to them. I hope that Craig does go with him and take this unfortunate event as a new start.

Hoping for the safe return of ShemaleCanada

Yes, I had noticed that you made Craig an offer a few days ago. A new start for the site would be welcomed by evryone here I'm sure.


Actually, I do not know whether Craigs former host was American, I just assumed it was, since for years he has had an ongoing relationship with the Grooby sites, which are American. Maybe we'll end up having to pay to get the service back again.

Suggestion:

Make it a pay site, not large $, but enough to cover your expenses. If girls paid a fee to advertise (maybe they do now); your links pay something for a priority listing location (other than for hits); and users paid something; it should help.

Obviously you have a product that FILLS a need, so the community of users should be happy to contribute.

Yes thanks for the offer Ana I will consider it.
Fortunately I was able to move the site to another server I have.
However I may still need another hoster.

I was on a US server with the last company, no relation to grooby servers.
Not sure what their motivation was to eliminate adult content.

Being that the site is free, I am not too overwhelmed with complaints and stuff but if I was charging I would be getting bitched out over it if this happened.

Truly the site hasn't been down more that a few minutes at a time for the last number of years. The site has only been down 24 hours now, so it is not really an emergency, although some may argue.

Anyway I think the site should be back up later this evening for most people, or by tomorrow for everyone.

Well as I previously said all information has been sent to you and my friend seemed kind of enthusiastic about hosting your site. Plus he is a very nice guy so I could never see him doing anything like what has happened to you from the other people that were hosting. I personally get alot of my business from shemalecanada and have noticed and lack in calls these last couple days as I do not advertise with eros or redzone. I feel bad for the girls who only use shemalecanada. I am happy to hear it shall be back though.

Hallelujah!!
