... ya, they'll shut it down until she needs more $$$... "Oh boo-hoo, I only have 1000 members at $20 a crack per month, how will I make my Lexus payments???". Once the "archive" sites stop producing the lifestyle she's accustomed to (and the photographer for that matter, since she's the only decent model he's got), she'll be back.

It's a publicity stunt, don't worry Gabe fans =P...

I know I'm not an active member on this board, and it is very rare that I even sign in, but I have been following the gabe thread on and off recently. Gabe is from my home town, I went to highschool with her, I do not know her very well, but I know her well enough to know that she dosen't drive around in a lexus, she drives a late 80s early 90s oldsmobile, def. not a lexus. I'm not saying she dose not have money (because I personally have no idea, and am not trying to ellude that I do) or many people signed up for her site, but she lives a VERY modest life style, and think you are way out of line in talking about someone like that who you do not know.

Uh-huh... let's see here, shes' 19 now, and has had a paid subscription website since she was what? 14?

If she doesn't have hundreds of thousands in the bank by now, she's been used and abused (in which case my point is even more valid, because the photographer "Don" would be the one who's getting rich anyway, and not want to shut things down).

If you're going to pretend you know about her in RL that's fine, just don't pretend that she hasn't profited substantially from her websites. Her photographer/webmaster whining about site-ripping and threatening to not do future updates is idiotic at best, but hey... it's been a fun ride I suppose.

She's hot, she's made plenty of money, and if the $$$ generated currently isn't what she/the photographer wants she is free to retire.

I'm just saying that when she figures out she has to get a "real" job, she'll be back. Not much out there equal to people paying just to look at you...

Dude would you like me to get my highschool yearbook and scan in a picture of her? How the hell do you want me to prove that. Hopefully most people will take my word that she dosen't live the high life. I am in no way saying she dosen't have money at all, but she's def. not driving around in a lexus, or any nice car for that matter. If you notice a lot of people have "modeling websites" out there, that dosent mean they are wealthy to an degree. Believe what you want, but hopefully the people with half a brain on this forum will actually believe me.

Um... thanks for reiterating my point? I guess...

More importantly, thanks to lilrika!!! Awesome job here and everywhere! Your hard work is much appreciated =)

she's so hot! thanks lilrika

hot damn it's a shame she's goin

how many updates aare there and how long do we have to wait?

Gabe's retirement is sad, indeed, but does her "plight" point to a future trend where file sharing can be rendered illegal?

Admit it fuckers...it's actually hotter that u can't see her nude

Given that the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted pictures is already illegal? That's probably as much protection as those sites are ever going to get.

The big hitters -- the music and movie industry -- couldn't make file-sharing as a whole illegal, and small-timers like the NN model sites simply can't afford to mount the same kind of offensive the music industry did.
