To be clear, no ones account has been deleted. Your stats are still archived and if you still think you were owed a payment they can easily reactivate your account.
I got the mystery mail, the one that didn't mention inactivity. Considering that I sent traffic in the last 90 days but haven't had sales in a long time, I suppose that makes sense. I immediately wrote back to ask why with a CC to Holly (who used to try hard for me in her LFP days although she never could get the broken tours fixed) but of course nobody answered.

I want to point out that this sort of mass closures is not honest business. Sure they have your stats archived "if you think you were owed a payment" but who has any idea where they have sub-payout balances? The way you check that is you LOG IN AND LOOK. So they just effectively stole all those balances. It's dirty.

Edited to add: I think I was converted into this program from the PlayboyCash days pre-2007. No inactivity for one year? Who the fuck cares? It's not like my entry in the database is costing them anything. I sometimes make sales off of links that date to fuckin' 2002. No, it's a way to close out and keep all those small affiliate balances. Dirty.
