I don't know what the current drama is, but ten days ago AVNads jumped the gun on a divorce with Adbrite without putting their own infrastructure in place. They were sending prospective ad buyers to a generic sales lead generation page and characterizing the process as a long-planned upgrade while trying to pretend nothing was wrong.
Details
here.
Eventually they responded to my screaming with a bit more candor, then announced they'd met with the Adbrite people and reached accommodation "until the end of the month". (Now?)
My links are still working, but I don't have much faith that they will come Saturday.
Having said all this, there's nothing lamer than a drama thread without the dramatic details!
