I sense that you like people to know how smart you undoubtedly are but not all webmasters have your skillset and so whilst you may enjoy pitting your wits against increasingly smarter opponents, I don't think you are doing any favors to everybody else....

This thread is really getting offtopic, it was just about the affiliate questions...
If a program can't check IP addresses, it will go out of business without my help. About it being stupid to tell some info: on a business standpoint, if it was true I educated fraudsters so nicely so that they would cheat up to bankrupt the competing affiliate programs, that would be very smart from me, but I don't see other programs collapsing yet due to one mine GFY post. The bad guys not even read GFY: there are forums dedicated to blackhat and hacking, full of "methods" how to fool affiliate programs, run botnets, sell stolen cards and all the frauds, with no censorship. GFY is super boring and silly for them. At times I email to the fraudster his own thread he opened in these evil boards about cheat my program, and it gets funny, considering my fake nicks in same board. I really can't see any GFY post I made as the ultimate threat to the industry's survival. I don't feel the power
