(1) The same reason I'm not totally into using MPA3 or NATS -- SpookyCash already has cutting edge sales tools, including some stuff most programs do not have, so I don't really want to rip up my existing program site's good points and jam them into an unnecessary larger template (on another domain too for the Epoch version.) I'd really like to just add billing cascading, direct affiliate tracking, and better tracking of which referring links actually turn into joins. It is also important that old affiliate links continue to work. If I were just starting out, I'd probably opt for the Epoch hosted MPA3 system, but I'm not just starting out.
(2) I'd like to be able to cut checks to affiliates. I think that some of my best affiliates don't even notice that they do well with SpookyCash because they don't get their checks from me. I know I take folks who actually cut me checks a bit more seriously. Not on purpose, but it often works out that way. It is easier to forget a sponsor when the check doesn't come from them.
