Word broke of this development earlier this morning on adult message boards, sparking concern and outrage among adult industry professionals, including user Don Pueblo, who encountered an internal server error when he tried to log into his account..
Soon after, a message appeared on the MadisonAvenue.com home page that read: "We regret to inform you that MadisonAvenue.com will cease operations no later than August 14th, 2009."
Site officials invite clients to email support@madisonavenue.com.
MadisonAvenue.com founder and CEO Marc Womack has not yet released an official statement.
