    AdultCheck is closing

    too bad...


    Webmaster:

    Because of new credit card processing regulations, Adult Check has been forced to make some changes.

    Effective as of November 15, 2003 your sites will be removed from the Adult Check System.

    The sites affected by this notice will be removed from the links list on November 10, 2003.

    On or about November 16, 2003, all the sites affected by this notice will be deactivated. AC Customers will no longer be able to access the site through the ID authentication process and no new sales will be processed through the apply link.

    Final payments will be paid out pursuant to existing accounting policies for any sums due and payable prior to November 16, 2003.

    This email is intended to serve as our official notification to you, that as of November 15, 2003, any limited use license to use any Adult Check registered service marks is revoked and all agreements and obligations of Adult Check to you are terminated.

    We realize that this announcement may come as a surprise, and it is with regret that we must take the steps outlined above. Adult Check has always strived to be an industry leader in regards to current and future trends, and thus we have reevaluated our entire business model. We want you to know that these decisions were not made hastily. We believe they are necessary for the continued viability of our business. Everyone at Adult Check has appreciated the opportunity to work with you in the past and we wish you the very best of luck in your future endeavors.

                Hahaha, wake the fuck up. You think they want all the AC webmasters freaking out together like WWIII on their board.

                    Exactly that. Even without the VISA crap the writing has been on the wall for AC for a long time. If you couldn't see it coming, aren't in the top 350 (or better still top100) and had AC as your primary income source then more fool you.

                        at least AC gave people a lot of notice to remove links, redirect traffic and all... I mean shit, 6 days is a long time...

                        SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                            I know people that had thousands of little sites with them and I really feel bad for them. What a load of work.

                                But you have to admit they did buck the trend in one area!!

                                They announced this on a Monday instead of a Friday!

                                    I never fucked with AC but did you have to use there server to host the sites? Thats one of the big differences I see with DP. You must host the site on there servers effectively saying the site is theres and all your doing is sending traffic just like all the other sponsors or would you say that's "stretchin it"??

                                          Rebills to the webmaster maybe. THEY are still getting them I bet. They are staying open!! They are only dumping the webmasters and going with a new plan using their top 100 webmasters to promote their sites only and new ones made by them and AC I guess.

                                                Somehow I dont think AC is closing. Changing their business model for sure, but closing, no.
