Man, I was just sitting here thinking "Maybe these guys are alright" until I hit this little gem.

What planet do you live on where anyone might owe YOU an apology after what's been going on. People going 2+ months without getting paid while being fed an endless stream of excuses about your merchant accounts and processors and you suppose they'll call you up to apologize when they realize how you're just a sweet guy and it's really not your fault?

What a steaming pile of horseshit.

No one signed up to deal with whatever idiots you have holding on to your money. Webmasters contracted with YOU to pay THEM. It's not our concern where your money comes from. If we generated sales under your system, you owe us money. My landlord doesn't give a fuck whether or not my WSB checks haven't cleared, yet. _I_ owe him the money, not you. Don't try to pass the blame back upstream, it doesn't work that way. It doesn't matter who fucked you in the background, you are not excused from paying the people you owe.

Go ahead and look through my posts. I'm not the type to flame people, especially if they are trying to make things right. You deserve to be called on this BS, though. There are some apologies due, but they sure as fuck aren't from the people out here who have been waiting for months to get what they are owed.

Edit: here's a little something to keep in mind: it was always "you'll get paid when we do." First off, that's just not how the world works. Go ahead and tell that to the bank that holds your mortgage. What crap. Second of all, this time they came out and said "OK, we got paid. Now we'll pay you." Next time it could just as easily be "Looks like they're not going to pay us at all so you're all fucked." Be careful about dealing with any company that has such an unstable backend.
