I have NEVER seen anything quite like this in the year that I've been promoting ccbill sponsors.

I know I'm not the only one to complain about this, as some of my trade partners that I talk to on ICQ have been reporting similar.

However, first it was the date bug that caused sign-ups to disappear (only 3 hours worth of them were showing up). And now people are reporting weird symptoms with stats remote, and people are also reporting record shitty conversion ratios.

Obviously shit happens .. could be just a bad week. People are off buying GTA San Andreas instead of buying porn like they're supposed to or something. But tied in with the fact that stats remote users are complaining about weird stats, and the fact that CCBill has proven to us this past week that they introduce code changes without testing them first, one has to wonder if we're being analy raped here without lube.

I've been trying to load my entire stats from January 1st '04 to October 26th '04 so I can get my exact ratio to compare... but I've tried twice, each attempt takes about 5 minutes and I get an Error - way to go ccbill stats!

Anyway the other day I did this for a friend who was curious and it was something like 1:900 on 400k. I've got like 15-20 sponsors merged under the one account, so it's not just one site that I'm promoting.

Here are my ratios for the past 5 days.

20th - 1:581
21st - 1:920
22nd - 1:889
23rd - 1:1544
24th - 1:3315
25th - 0:3274

I'm sure my stats are hardly the worst either. Everyone I ask seem to be all reporting over 1:3000 for the last 2-3 days.
