Let's be honest here. For 90% of the programs there is no reason to move to NATS/MPA3. It's a marketing gimmick aimed at affiliates. The benefits are out weighed by the downsides.

CCBILL or Epoch are both solid companies, well as solid as anything in porn, CCBILLs support is second to none. They administer and pay out to affiliates, once you get used to their back end it's a delight.

The only benefit as I see it is the cascading billing system. We don't lose that many and what we do lose it not worth spending time and money on to implement NATS or MPA3. I'm sure some affiliates will take umbrage at this but think of it like this. Every cost has to be met somewhere unless it produces a profit. Cost and on affiliate programs are met by content or other tools.

I'm sure for big programs MPA3/NATS are a bonus. Just not got the majority.

I did hear CCBILL were going to come out with a cascading billing program and pay affiliates for all sign ups. Now that would be awesome.

Let the flaming commence.
