There is one big reason, and that is Duplicat content.

That is the reason I always advice the programs to use "no index" and "no follow" on the FHG's

You have 2000+ pages of:
domain.com\fhgdir\girlXXXX\affID1111\index.php
domain.com\fhgdir\girlXXXX\affID2222\index.php
domain.com\fhgdir\girlXXXX\affID3333\index.php
domain.com\fhgdir\girlXXXX\affID4444\index.php
domain.com\fhgdir\girlXXXX\affID5555\index.php
domain.com\fhgdir\girlXXXX\affID6666\index.php
or
domain.com\fhgdir\girlXXXX\index.php?refid=1111
domain.com\fhgdir\girlXXXX\index.php?refid=2222
domain.com\fhgdir\girlXXXX\index.php?refid=3333
domain.com\fhgdir\girlXXXX\index.php?refid=4444
domain.com\fhgdir\girlXXXX\index.php?refid=5555


The same content and the same names, and it hurts both your paysite and affiliate site SERP

There are ways around this so the Affiliate programs root gallery always will show up in the SE and not harm the SERP of the program or paysite.

It would look pretty stupid to hand that info over for free, when I have charged customers $$$ for the same info
