Take down a site if i haven't been paid for it since October?
I signed papers for the site may 2005 and it was supposed to be a 3 month job. A year and a half later it was finished. I was a freelancer working for a girl downtown who used to be a good friend of mine. She started her own company and asked me to do some work.
Each project I've done for her has gone way over budget (my hours) and way over time and with each job it's taken weeks past due to get paid.
I've sent numerous emails with no response.
Being an old friend whom now I'll never work for again, should I take down the site?!?
I'm thinking of putting "PENDING PAYMENT" on the index page to get my point across.
Would you? I'm at the end of my rope.

Accidentally give us access.

Actually, Doug, I'd send her one last e-mail, perhaps even a snail mail CC putting forth a plan of payment, and a method of your actions if it is not met.
Give her a chance, and let her know the consequences of delinquency.

She doesn't pay on time? She sounds like my old roommate.

Absolutely definately take it down, and put up a holding page simply saying something along the lines of...
"website down until payment has been received from client, sorry for any inconvenience"
...she'll soon pay up!

lol Mimio.
OSFA. Yes. (at least she used to be)
flavor. I've been emailing her nice emails for literally four months now, at least one per week. Sometimes twice a week. I've sent her one invoice a month via snail mail stating each time how much the payment is past due, and saying basically because we are friends I'm not going to charge you a late fee.
The last email she sent to me was Monday the 19th saying the check was going in the mail. Mail from Chicago doesn't take that long.
I"m starting to lose my cool.

Draft up a bogus legal letter from Smith Waters & Henckel and send her that.
People get scared when they see that kind of stuff.

post naked pics of her on the index page. Although, it might work better for her if she is hot... give us a link dammit! OR access to it like flav said...

(Feb 28 07, 08:21)It's the biggest piece of trash I've ever done in my life. No way I'm posting it. It's not even in my portfolio. The client was such a prick talking down to me that I eventually said fuck it and just did whatever he said, no matter how bad it was. I stopped caring at about month 8 of the 3 month job.
If the check isn't in the mail tonight I'm taking it down.
Fuck it.

If you were single I'd say something else, but just take it down.
