    I haven't sent them hits, I was just checking before I did, but i'm sure the Algerian hits didn't do THAT well for them

      It was a programming error.

      The t800 server that handles webmaster stats became self aware at 08:45 PST. It decided to create an inhouse account for itself and take 30% of everyone's signups.

      The server then unplugged itself and travelled back in time to 1991 to defend edward furlong from an evil cyborg.

      We have since replaced the server with a rogue employee, who shall remain anonymous.

        I think it would be be a little more respectful to give me a call on my 800 # below than to make false accusations that we rip webmasters off. Please, do call me so I can pick your brain on this if Laura Lee's reply has not already been taken care of your problem.

          I hate that term "pick your brain"

          I've cancelled alot of meetings with people cause they've said that to me... makes me feel like a science experiment

          anyway, back to our regular scheduled programming...

            I dont think thejimmy was accusing you at all.He explained what happened and was looking for a reason from TCG webmasters who are more familar with your program.As it turns out it was a glitch which he should be thanked for pointing out.
            Now that I know about this I might send more traffic your way to see if my conversion rate picks up.

                    I guess you arent aware that I've been sending you guys traffic for 4 years then.

                    And the name is Mr Pheer, not mr Trump.

                        BT, I was merely asking a question, when I see ref-codes disappear, I think the majority of people on this board or any board would agree, it looks seriously susupicious....

                        however in the future I'd be glad to just ring ya...wasn't aware of your open-phone policy


                        as for the glitch, glad to hear it's cleared up...

                          Was it a "technical glitch" a few years back when TCG (was just traffic cash at the time) was declining ALL joins to their sites and sending the traffic to Vivid?

                            Funny how programming errors always end up with webmasters traffic being sent to the house accounts, not the other way around.

                                It wasn't a programming error. It was a glitch smartass.

                                  I enjoy the press on GFY good or bad but we can help you anytime Via phone and questions get answered much faster. Love to have you business and like Laura Lee said ....on a brighter note True Celebs is converting 1:112 with Janet Jackson traffic

                                    was no disrespect intended....just a VERY straight forward question using very straight forward language about an apparently real problem that has now been fixed...

                                          BTW, why don't you give us that "followme" traffic...

                                          How many sales does followme get per day?

                                              BT any chance of answering the question I asked you on icq?

                                                                      1:So I can do more productive work.I find that i keep getting distracted by friends and family at home and

                                                                      Yup, I have that now. I have a seperate home life and my office. It's nice to seperate the work from home and I get more done at the office but its natural for me to bring work home on my laptop now when I'm rushed to get something done.

                                                                      WG

It was a while ago, but what they did was when someone filled out the join form with their cc info, they would get redirected to a page that said something like "Sorry, but our sites are so popular that our servers are all busy at the moment. Please try these other sites" and it had links to other sponsors. This was after the surfer put in his/her credit card info ect.
                                                                                                Does anyone else remember this? Is was a few years ago. I haven't sent them 1 click since this even after the name change.
