I won over anout 2 bb/100 for around three years with over 100k hands per month.. Then I proceeded to lose for 13 of 14 months at a rate of over 1.5 bb/100 with vurtually the same Vpip/pfr/aggro and position stats.

I know 3 people that had over $500,000 BRs who were established players go completely bustovia in less than a years time... Im not saying it will happen to you, but pray it doesnt because there is no worse feeling than knowing that every time you log in you are going to play well and lose somewhere between 10-100 bb

Didn't Sklansky say a while back that he thought many of the best Internet players had lucked onto a strategy that could beat the very loose style of the Internet games, but that those same players would not be able to beat the game if it changed because those players did not understand the theory behind their play? I wonder if that is what is happening here. Perhaps you guys were very good at extracting money from loose Internet games, but now that the games have tightened up you are playing a losing style? If that is true, then you guys might never be able to beat the games again unless you luck into a strategy that can beat today's tight games.

even if much of what you say is true, this unless you luck into a strategy that can beat today's tight games assumes too much. why would it have to be "luck" that allowed them to come up with a winning strategy for these "new" games you speak of?
