Okay,.. so I’m gonna play devils advocate (doesn’t mean I agree with what I’m about to say so don’t get your panties in a bunch)
It’s the responsibility of the eccie staff to check with every user, to make sure it’s okay to flip the switch? Keep in mind ladies are not paying for a service, they are using the site for free, that at anytime has the right to cease existence as the owners see fit. It’s not a publicly traded company, so they don’t need to check in with shareholders (members of the forum) to get a vote on the direction of the site.
Also keep in mind all but just a few states, are at will employment states. So if we are keeping this in business terms (as I assume we are since your worried about the ladies incomes being effected) I’m betting the companies most of the gents on the forums work for could just as easily let them go a week before Christmas as well. Without cause, reason or explanation. It’s the way it is,.. be prepared, have a backup plan, and do your best to not live paycheck to paycheck. And,.. please don’t rely on a website that you don’t own to keep food on the table.
