what's preventing you to pull a JD and just suddenly stop operations
You make it sound like JD did something bad.
No offense intended, obviously JD did something very right and I do respect your decision to close it down. But speaking in practical terms, a site closing down is not very beneficial for investors and I'm solely speaking in the investors' perspective, so I hope you understand. Btw I'm the guy that won the SwC poker tournament so I'm very grateful for how you & and deb were running things and organising these sorts of fun activities.
