    and another one bites the dust

    Greetings to all our valued Matrix Bucks webmasters, Unfortunately, due to a number of setbacks you are all aware of, we can no longer continue to feasibly run Matrix Bucks, our $30 flat-rate program, at a profit. We've always paid you and kept our word and our reputation in the industry intact and we can't in good conscious continue to operate a program that cannot make you money going into the future. Therefore, effective today, May 2nd, 2003, we are discontinuing this program! All traffic going to the following sites will be redirected tomorrow morning so please make sure you remove your links and place them elsewhere before then

            seven, sorry for the short notice. even i too was shocked at the speed that this happened. if you'd like to contact me via ICQ, I'd be glad to see how i can assist you. anyone else can freely contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.

            ICQ in sig.

                  Instead of REDIRECTING everyones traffic on such short notice, they could at least just put up a normal "page not found".

                          We are not redirecting the traffic it will send back the traffic from the pages they came from. Give us some sugestions on what you would like to see. If needed we will try to extend things to help out. The reason for this program going down is webmaster fraud. There are a ton of carders that use stolen credit cards to send joins. Sorry for such short notice. We got burned and paid everyone. We don't want to get in a position that we can't pay you . We lost a lot of money doing it due to fraud.

                                    Instead of shutting down your program due to fraud, why don't you put in place methods to cut back on frauds and bust the fuckers that are illegally operating?

                                    If you're paying out these webmasters that are committing fraud, why wouldn't you go after them? You obviously have their personal information.

                                        who was the third party processor for this program?
                                        I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!
