AFF's new strategy on this stuff is never say anything, stay away from the boards, and don't post interactively (they only post contest threads, nothing else). At this point, Lars may have been forced to clean toilets at Zango because he sure ain't posting around here anymore.Comment

I'm really not sure how you would qualify any numbers though. We spent a lot of time figuring out how much traffic goes into the void of Zango-esque software and spyware, and our closest calculations show that upwards of 40% of all affiliate traffic is hijacked before it even gets to it's source, and not all of it from Zango. Hell I've even seen instances where Zango codes have been ripped off.. It's an all-out war to rip people off.
Best of luck with that.Comment

40% !!!! WOW that is even more than I had thought. How did you come to that conclusion.I'm really not sure how you would qualify any numbers though. We spent a lot of time figuring out how much traffic goes into the void of Zango-esque software and spyware, and our closest calculations show that upwards of 40% of all affiliate traffic is hijacked before it even gets to it's source, and not all of it from Zango.

Arguing whether the Democratic or Republican party is better is like debating which steaming pile of shit is slightly less stinky.Comment

please child, you were banned for lying about a program, not for making a joke.You mean like 12clicks did to me in Oct? At least I wasn't serious.
Oh well some people have thin skins and have to get their connections to ban people to make them feel better instead of taking things in stride. 5 months and the people that run this place still have me banned even though it CLEAR it was unwarented. Especially considering what has been said about AFF and/or Lars in the same time span and NOTHING happens to anyone else.
Even if I had the power to get someone banned I didn't like I wouldn't because I would think that maybe I would look like a pussy. Not sure though. Maybe a poll is necessary. Does getting someone banned because someone insulted you even though you have insulted them and others before make you a pussy? I'd like to hear opinions.
Maybe one day this injustice will be corrected. I doubt it though because it hasn't happned yet. I mean 5 months and counting, come on. For a JOKE?
once you rabble learn your place, you won't have to worry about being banned.
board trolls are tolerated for page views only as long as they don't lie about the businesses who pay the rent.I'm not a dinosaur, I'm a crocodile. I've seen dinosaurs come and go and I'm left unimpressed.Comment

40%? I hope you wanted to say 4%I'm really not sure how you would qualify any numbers though. We spent a lot of time figuring out how much traffic goes into the void of Zango-esque software and spyware, and our closest calculations show that upwards of 40% of all affiliate traffic is hijacked before it even gets to it's source, and not all of it from Zango. Hell I've even seen instances where Zango codes have been ripped off.. It's an all-out war to rip people off.
Best of luck with that.
40% is terrible and if that number is anywhere close to the true then really something needs to be done about it.....I don't use ICQ anymore.Comment

No I meant 40%, and that is a conservative estimate. There will be a solution soon, believe me.. The marketplace demands one at this point.Comment

not far off
actually your not far off, only problem is, pizza hut doesnt send you anything, but when you order from their site using credit card, you are selling your info to about 5 shitty phone spam companies that week buying your info and soon you're phone will be ringing off the hook. go ahead and try it... i love waiting for them to call so i can fuck with em, most of the operators are comical and fight back these days... would make for a great website updated dailyI want to work for that company....
My best analogy of spware "adware" in the offline world would be a pizza hut sending you out a check in the mail for $2.95 on the back in fine print it says " we worked out a deal with the phone company, whenever you go to make a call looking to order a pizza we will provide you with some "alternatives", than when you go to order from Dominos, you dial their number and the call goes to Pizza hut and they say " can I take you order".
Exactly the same thing spyware/adware does, do you see this lasting for 1 second offline....

I believe she is taking into account ALL the zango-like companies out there, not just Zango.
I could see it being as high as 40% in that light. And I only see it getting worse.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

ALWAYS THE HIGHEST PAYOUTS: Big Bux/ImLive SIGNUP ON NOW!!!

its' great that there will be a solution, although Im not sure to what kind of solution you're referring to
personally I have been watching threads like this, but not as detailed as Will76 and others
Im not really sure what can be done... someone mentioned asking sponsors to take a legal stand against all the "Zangos", but I cant see it happening
It was hard enough to convince the sponsors to send an email to ICANN regarding .xxx - now this spyware situation would probbably require far more action from them.
Surely, even closing the spyware using affiliate accounts is a good step, but that doesnt change the situation (doesnt change the marketshare of those who steal the affiliate codes using spyware)
anyway, if 40% is anywhere close to the truth, then its terrible
it directly effects everyone to such an extent that something needs to be doneI don't use ICQ anymore.Comment
