    To have the proverbial carpet pulled from under you sucks, but I am confident you will land on all four feet, and someone else will benefit from the efforts you were planning on directing towards ARS.


    I am seeing this happen already, and it hasn't even been 12 hours yet.
    No Thanks, I have my own......

        Thanks for the kind words Baddog.

        Not receiving a warning ahead of time was just more irritating than it was hurting. I almost felt like I was "owed" a previous notice given how long I have been with ARS (account number in the 76XXX) and how much business I did with them. But oh well, this kind of stuff happens.

        Cheers

        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.

            But hopefully she'll get it through her head that a lot of what she posts is, for lack of a better word, stupid.

            And I disagree with what she said about other sponsor programs following suit to this move by ARS. I won't say why, but I don't think it will happen.
            Um, right.

            You obviously don't understand numbers much less air.

            Not to mention the fact that it is ridiculous and extremely childish to blame ARS for not giving you advance warning of changes they were making to their business, especially in the competitive nature of this industry. But of course you don't understand that either.

            If you take the time to go back and read all the 'air' I've posted over the last 5 years, you'll find that I am right alot more than I am wrong.

                    The ARS Executive Webmaster Program is still alive, but there are some changes being applied to that Program soon. We will keep you updated and get you the updates asap. Thanks.

                                    Thank you. Couldn't find this when I logged in at ARS.

                                                I don't think, in the midst of such a major change, providing more advanced warning is unreasonable. It isn't like they were updating their stats or making a payout change. Thus, It is understandable that there will be those upset by such an abrupt and major alteration.

                                                I did take a look at the new champs system and I saw one thing that stood out and gave me cause for pause.

                                                9. Webmasters that have exclusive content already can use this content in their sites. They must first license the content to Option Mind Services and provide the model release paperwork. Option Mind Services will host the content for the webmaster to use in their site.

                                                Why would any webmaster want to do this? If they license it to Option Mind, doesn't that give Option Mind the right to re-distribute? In that case, your exclusive content wouldn't be so exclusive anymore.

                                                Perhaps I just don't understand the reasoning. Can anyone assist?

                                                    taboo_gal - the licensing agreement would state it could be used on Adult Video Planet only... A license doesn't meant rights to redistribute nor put it on other URLs

We work in an online industry, fast paced, I'm curious, what kind of time would've been sufficient?

I understand the numbers perfectly, however I'm sure your last 5 years working a minion, a troll, a grunt, a hired loudmouth, (whatever people call you), have given you far more experience than me.

                                                                                    Perhaps when you undertake your own ventures and are making the big shot decisions for yourself you will better understand how these things work.

                                                                                    Sometimes women like you just need a big cock in their mouth to shut them up. I don't normally result to petty insults but you are a special case. Congratulations on making it to the top of my 'respected idiots with tits' list.

Over the years, after witnessing falling member retention, sinking conversion ratios and a market full of unhappy customers refunding and charging back, a total reinvention was necessary." - from ARS press release

                                                                                                                Actually that was exactly what ARS did - sold overpriced, shitty sites.
