I admire how Doug is open and honest about the business.

I started out about 12 years ago with my spouse and partner with boysinc.com (still around). It has been a very interesting decade with lots of changes in content, free porn, internet technologies, and customer habits.

Doug has done something great. He is telling everyone ahead of time and it not taking whatever money comes in through billing and running away. No matter what happens in the future he leaves the door open to a new site at a later time.

I hate to see any small business going out of business. Though I don't know Doug personally I feel for his pain but I also rejoice in a new start for him. I hope he still hangs around and is part of the small group of gay (and lesbian) webmasters.

We are reminded on what is really important when it comes down to it. Working 24/7/365 and loosing one's health is not as important as enjoying the journey and each other.
