i don't really know how i feel about it - i mean, they didn't put her in the archive (which is what they do with girls who leave the site - their pictures stay up but their journal and friends list dissappear) which seems to me to be a sign of respect for her active involvement in the community and concern for those who were her friends through it. it also seems to me that most girls on here didn't do it just for the money (so to speak) - that being a suicide girl was a choice they made that reflects part of who they are, so in a sense taking her off the site could be seen as invalidating that part of her life. being a suicide girl to me is more then getting paid and making money for a site being naked online - it's a community and a statement, a part of my identity. i wouldn't want that part to be erased. obviously i can't speak for her, or what she would have wanted, but it seems to me to be a sign of respect that they've left her not only on the site but as an active member. they make money on all the girls on the site, but not just on their nudity but their participation and place in the community. in my understanding, they're not making any more money by leaving her up than they would have by removing her, and leaving her as a member of the site at least preserves that part of her life, both in her memory and for those who knew her here.
of course, it's a difficult subject - i'm sure they haven't been faced with this type of thing before.
