The other day when Video Secrets said they were against Zango, they were commended and a few people posted that they were glad that a ?few companies get it.? I think a couple of people actually stated that only 5 companies were against Zango.

Weg has been against this type of traffic well before Will76 went on this crusade. I hate to break it to everyone, but this is not new. I had a meeting well before the crusades with our CTO and we arranged a plan to try to find out how much it affected us. I have also hit up Smokey and had conversations with him regarding it, I am sure he can verify such.

While I appreciate people trying to better the industry, I do think people need to keep perspective and understand that we all can?t post all day long about the issue. I stated that Weg does not accept Zango traffic and will do what we can to counter it, and as far as I know, well more than 5 affiliate programs reflected the exact same position. But because we aren?t in all the threads, we are somehow supporting it. Because I don?t bash Lars, I support it.

Go back to Will?s original thread and look at all the programs that agreed they do not accept the traffic. I know for fact that before Will ever brought this up, we were discussing the subject privately with other program operators and our affiliates.

Saying you are tired of the threads is not saying you support Zango or any affiliated companies. It is saying you are tired of the threads. Many people knew about all of this before the crusades.

Wegcash as a program has a track record of supporting affiliates. We do not and have never needed a crusade to motivate our decision-making.

And if you take the above statements to be aggressive towards Will, they are not. I appreciate good will as much as anyone. My personal opinion is that the lines are drawn, however, they are just post on a message board and I don?t have to read them; Hence, I don?t care if they are posted all day long or not. However, we should make a better effort to consolidate independent business ideals.
