    The “stupidest affiliate member area” award goes to Platinum Bucks

    Why why why? All that useless flash, rolling round thing and database that takes forever to pull stats. Useless shit and wasted money and time.

                  Yes those two programs bug me too, I really hate sites that force you to pop a new window because of how I have my desktop laid out.

                    Sucks that the larger pioneer programs suck such monkey balls.

                    PlatinumBucks is what is wrong with adult sites today..

                      it takes forever just to check stats. a simple plain html page would be so much better.

                        It is a bit much. But if their sites convert...

                          i've always thought i was the only one annoyed with PB and SC stats
                          very hard and time consuming to use.

                          Here is a good lessons for affiliate programs
                          make your stats easy to use, very informative
                          the more time an affiliate spends on the stats analyzing them, they more traffic they'll send. More time does not mean frustrations from slow loading, hard to understand stats.

                          In short, learn from NATs. Best stats barnone !

                              I find that programs thinks that they need to "impress" affiliates with all this fancy flash shit quite amusing..

                              We are webmasters, NOT SURFERS!... We want effectivity, not cool flash pages that takes forever to load stuff that is more or less useless..

                                  Just like Silvercash. It takes fucking 10 mins to get some galleries from the webmaster area. Its horrible. They spend so much time and programming on that shit while a simple static html page wouldve done the trick.

                                        I must agree to. Their sites convert great for me, but pulling a linkcode or checking stats just is so anoying, especially the new window.

                                            I must say I'm not a fan of that backend either.

                                            Plus their ratios sucked so much balls I stopped promoting them years back.

                                            mind on the other hand I guess they don't give a fuck - they're too busy counting all their money and building horribly ostentatious, stupid looking, nigga rich swimming pools in their back yards

                                              i dont understand why affil programs need flash for their sites. webmasters only care about logging in quick, grabbing banners and codes. its more of a pain

                                                    thats the reason why i dont promote these 2 companies.. platinum & silvercash.
                                                    It is really frustrating.. and infact, i thought i was the only one..
                                                    I guess not.
                                                    Not to even talk of their tours with the big WEBMASTERS MAKE CASH links on SC & email grabs.. crap.

                                                      Sounds like Silvercash. For me, doing anything in Silvercash takes 5 times longer than it should, because of all the flash. I dread everytime I need to actually login and grab some new linking codes.

                                                          i suggest if anyone wants to use platinum bucks they simply hit up the affiliate reps

                                                          it makes shit at any program about 100x easier

                                                          you just hit them up & say "hey please get me such & such links"

                                                              I could never understand why programs spend premiums or time designing all those flash headers in affiliate areas - I block all of them. Give me a updates news section and content and thats all I want or need.

                                                                obviously lots of people figured out how to use it....platinum bucks is seen all over the net

                                                                oh & i got some promo's from platinum-bryan a couple weeks ago with no issue

                                                                I didn't even login the site, i just hit up my rep & asked for creatives....its amazing how easy it is to ask people for shit when its their job
                                                                Why don’t you get yourself slower ISP like AOL just because they are known all over the world. Now that’s stupid.
                                                                There are programs out there just as big as PB but they don’t feel its necessary to have extra funk to load DB or have extra window. Its all about usability. Its not like those sites make me go “wow, I’ve never seen that shit before”… Kink loads just fine for me, and would assume they are a lot bigger than platinum bucks.

Since NATS has come along finally everyone else (non-developers/tech) is now realizing the true ease of how things can be when well coded software meets efficiency. Maybe 10 years ago it was good practice to use a lot of flashy graphics and "get-er-done" coding, but man you have to roll with the times.

                                                                                      it makes shit at any program about 100x easier

                                                                                      you just hit them up & say "hey please get me such & such links"
                                                                                      unless you are on the other side of the world and their sales reps are in bed

                                                                                      Don't really have a problem with it though, only thing I hate about programs in general is the lack of referring stats.

They spend so much time and programming on that shit while a simple static html page wouldve done the trick.

                                                                                                    obviously lots of people figured out how to use it....platinum bucks is seen all over the net

                                                                                                    oh & i got some promo's from platinum-bryan a couple weeks ago with no issue

                                                                                                    I didn't even login the site, i just hit up my rep & asked for creatives....its amazing how easy it is to ask people for shit when its their job
                                                                                                    Hey pr0, long time no see

                                                                                                    I have to disagree with your comments here though. While there is no debating the size of PB and yes, I'm sure if you hit up their reps they will be able to assist you, the point of the thread was about people being turned off from the program due to the archaic/overkill (flash) backend.

                                                                                                    Let's say they get a new webmaster who can send only 2 sales a day. He signs up because he hears their sites are good, but gets frustrated at the backend and tryign to get to his creatives or his stats to load, whatever the issue is (I don't use them myself so just saying in general). He decides to give up and try another program.

                                                                                                    Now let's say 10 guys do the same thing. That's a loss of 20 sales/day to PB which could easily have been gained. Will that hurt their program, I doubt it. However I'm sure they would never mind increasing their sales (if they do, well then yes this discussion is pointless hehe).

                                                                                                    Not to mention potentially losing bigger webmasters as well, some who check their stats multiple times a day to analyze things about their traffic and get fed up of the load times, I'd wager might go someplace else. They won't be hitting up their rep multiple times a day to ask the rep to pull their stats for them and ICQ them over

                                                                                                    If I'm PB, I would redo that whole affiliate interface, I bet they can boost business at least 10-20% doing so which is more than worth it.

                                                                                                    Anyhow just my
