back when I started my first site (thecumslut.com) I wrote my own affiliate software. It was clunky, and the stats were not really 100% realtime because there was a manual element to the tracking...but it was mine and I was in control of what processors I used, when, and why.

Now, I never shaved, but I suspect that on the political platform of a 3rd party watching over your shoulder, a lot of companies jumped on the band wagon to prove they were not shaving.

Thecumslut is long sold off and even when I started mobbucks a few years ago, my partners and I fell into the NATS trap too. If I do it again (and I probably will), I'm writing my own. I don't care about suspected shaving..audit me. I'll never bend over to a third party's tos again. Write your own stats program, you'll be happier for it.

That's just my two cents, I may be way off here.
