You've done a fine job explaining it.

... and that is statistically far more likely to happen with a guy who says he does nothing for "standard affiliates" and opened his affiliate program against his better judgment. Given that RUC is a revshare program I think you'd have to be a fool to totally ignore that. It might be different if it were PPS where the most you might reasonably lose is a month or two of revenue but with revshare you can lose up to two years worth of rebills.
90% of the time when a program owner makes a comment such as JT made a few pages back it means the program will be gone within a year or they will otherwise change something so that affiliate income radically drops. The evidence is right here in the GFY archives.
