Redirect links in a paywebsite that removes your ID doesn?t sound like a error to me. It sounds like a internal decision to make more money.

As I told on this board before, I?m a programmer, a female programmer.. yes.., I?m damn good in the low level network programming environments. I have seen lots and lots of bugs, I hunt bugs for months nonstop. Some bugs are ghosts, they come and they disappear, you see these kind of bugs a lot in the Artificial Intelligence software.

But to see that kind of bugs in a webserver with a SQL database and some CGI scripting or a flat file solution.. hmmm? a bug that remove your link and put another link back? the bug does not destroy or mix up anything else.. it just do one job: remove your link and put another link in place for it.. that sounds as a damn smart bug to me.

But.. hee? maybe I?m just a paranoid bitch.. maybe I don?t know how it works? maybe.. I see only the dark site, maybe it is a real clever bug, maybe it is just a manual fault? maybe I?m just a paranoid little girl....

Sounds like maybe they had a problem with the page that you were sending to, and that most likely there 404/error traffic is sent to another sponsor to pay the bills.
