Me a smidge of humor, observation, a bit of provacative witicism...
others did the real heavy lifting. Great group of posters, fans,
detractors, and resident trolls (no newsgroup is complete without 'em)

Looks like SCI "owns" the content and domain name. Typical. I think
the valuation was more based on site "hits" as they'd translate as or
into advertising revenue potential vs. actual revenue as they couldn't
possibly know the number of members per average month. Surely, the
site had more than 80 members per month on average. ???

Then there was the late April "attached" incident. Another ploy by the
Webbie to get his on screen talent to pay him/her more? ...really
"German" hackers? What was hacked/lost beside the will to support the
site??? That has to be a full time job!!!
This is, of course, from the woman that had also quit upon her
misbegotten marriage to the Florida dumpster "tycoon"... <grin> only
to return very shortly later a bit more worldly.
And now the last day is "about" the 19th of August, I believe the
first few days it was on the 19th...
It'd be great to be a bug on the wall in this little drama but even if
something was agreed upon, how long would it last? Management? <sigh>
if any, exploitative... or perhaps driven by the hormonal tides? <ya,
sexist!>
Still, I've enjoyed the ride following our Girl through to womanhood
and the slow reveal. Much more could be done by Christina if she took
some of the suggestions made, and if she relied on the imagination of
others if hers was lacking. Money can be made, but time is never on
our side in the end.

That would be sweet, but alas our "hearts" were meant to be broken...
I remember the famous XTina line "I'm not showing my muffin", or
something like that, a few years back on one of the Web chats. Times
and boundaries do change. Maybe XTina Model 3.0 is lurking out there?
Hope? yes... why not... let's add the discovery of a stash of
"ancient" Christina 1.0 sans bras, outfits, and pants!!!

What happens next? The saga may take yet another detour, or be right
back, or not, or ??? A real wild card!

ps. Posters out there... thanks, and please keep what's left coming.
