As this thread has unfolded, my view of the situation has changed. I'm not entirely sure that a jury could be persuaded to believe that CDA immunity is applicable under the facts in this case.
It has also become apparent that the OP took it upon himself to actively market the site by posting links directly to the Facebook accounts of the people who are depicted in the photos. (The example earlier in the thread of a guy sucking a cock.) That suggests an element of malice, and that the OP is a "bad" guy. This is how a juror would likely perceive it.
There are two sides to almost every argument. But in my limited experience, a juror will often be more receptive to the side of an argument that produces a result that fits in with the juror's intuitive sense of what's right, and what's fair. Nothing about this site seems "right" or "fair" -- so a juror will likely be looking for a way to agree with the plaintiffs.
At this point, I have to agree with the majority of people here that the site should come down. Not per se for moral reasons (although as I said previously, what the OP is doing is way outside my comfort zone), but because it's not entirely clear to me that the OP has a defensible position.
You know what the OP might be good at? Becoming a recruiter. Going out and talking to people who might want to earn money from adult modeling, stuff like that. There are definitely a lot of opportunities in the adult industry for people who don't care about public perceptions or about seeming like "respectable" citizens of the world.
But first, it's pretty obvious the OP has a lot of damage control to do in this thread. The truth is, after all the shit is done hitting the fan, the OP might not have any choice but to get into the adult business full-time and cobble together a career in the porn industry.
To the OP -- the part about you proactively posting the links directly to the Facebook accounts of the people in the photos struck me as not being such a cool thing to do, even though it probably got you more traffic. Now that a licensed attorney has chimed in, please consider shutting the site down and moving on to something else that's not quite so perilous.
It's easy to feel like you're admitting defeat or something like that, and as a result, resist the idea of shutting the site down. I'd justify it this way... "I had an idea, and I ran with it. I got people to submit high-risk content to my website. But it came with a lot of baggage. I learned a lot, and I'm definitely stronger and wiser because of it. In retrospect, I regret playing a role in proactively embarrassing other people. I'm probably going to have to deal with the consequences of that, but I'll continue growing as a person and learn from my mistakes."
Good luck with whatever you choose to do, and don't forget... the people depicted on your website have feelings, too. Try to show a little bit of empathy for what many of these people may be feeling. The mercy you show them will likely correlate to some degree with the amount of mercy some of the people in this thread are likely to show you.
That's like asking at the Colosseum if they've ever just given people a relaxing backrub, instead of feeding them to the lions, because y'know, it would be a nice thing to do once in a while.
Which definition are you referring to?
Orm 4 up, 2 down
On the way to an orgasm, but ran out of "gas". The feeling one gets when either not sufficiently excited or energetic enough to attain a climax.
I love you honey, but I am so tired that I can only have an orm.
He's probably trying to digest NamEno's post. I dread to think how much that advice given ^^ there is worth! (Even though his online reputation is now on it's merry way to the landfill.)
Fuck OP and fuck NamEno. I'm still trying to digest Sunnedly_Ass's last post. More worth that than this whole fucking soap opera.
I did the same yesterday before the shit storm started and had the same results. Some people just don't want to be helped.
thanks, just sprayed coffee all over my desk (adds to the bio hazard already collecting on there).
So who has started contacting the victims to let them know who this douchebag is and where to find him?
Emp, can we add a section to Drew Myers | IsAnyoneBack.com Founder, Owner – eRapist – Dayton, Ohio where revengeful fathers can upload pics of the ass beating they give drew myers?
He said quite explicitly that he had decided against keeping the site online.
It's still online.
Since he said he would close it, this thread has grown like 4 pages of more vitriol and SEO suicide.
What the hell is he thinking? Stupid boy.

Yes, but hopefully he can stick around WF learn a thing or two about how business is and is not done and after a while become a contributing member to the community.
Or else play in a band :music06:
