    In all of your years as a webmaster, what's the biggest program flop you've seen?

    There have been tons to fall for whatever reason....There have been up and comers who have died due to cheating or stealing....There have also been a few billing processors that have left us in the cold.

    Which program/processor flop irks you the most?

                      when Hollywood Whores was new... during the explosion of free trials...

                      they paid per signup, but once it was time for payout they couldn't afford it because the program was all new.

                      GOOD PLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              Does anybody remember the fall of WSB? A lot of people lost a lotttt of money. The silver lining was Triple X Cash's actions taken by paying us all back. The amount they paid out of pocket definitly wasn't small!

                                      it doesn't happen often?

                                      xpics, lancelot, babenet, atherton/paris hilton, wsb, globill.

                                      and that's just off the top of my head. there are many others.

                                              SyPro

                                              One of the first companies who allowed you
                                              to except credit cards without a merchant account.

                                              They were one of the very first to be axed
                                              by Visa back in 1999/2000

                                              I think they are back with another name and
                                              hidding.

                                                                                                      One day he'll wake up and go back to being the same pervert and wish he had all of that money. I mean, he loved looking at big naturally busted women. I can't imagine you can just turn a switch off in your head and turn directions like that.

                                                                                                      Oh well.

A flop is more like a new venture that burned out fast, like some of the ones that have already been mentioned in this thread.
