Oystein is a good friend and I can say he's a real person who tries his best and is a real stand up guy.

Once upon a time, they created a feature that most people didn't have the balls to admit was happening, they at least came out with it as a feature, open about it.

The industry wanted it and the industry had it as an option, beware buyer, or in this case, affiliate. Some people might actually be able to make higher payouts because they can simply convert traffic to the max, while others use short cuts and shave. But not everyone using the MPA2 program shaved, that's not a fair assumption. Some people shave because their conversion ratios are that much better then the rest of the industry, so you'd never really notice the shave and the payouts are still great. Shaving still exists even if you are making more money then with a different program.

Today's webmaster needs to compete and sell to others that they don't shave. And it's the right way to do business. Always has been.

I don't fault the programmers as much as the demand to have that feaure dictated by the webmasters asking for it. MPA2 is not the fall guy for a feature that an industry asked for, though the majority never knew or wanted this to happen. The people using the program are the minority doing the majority of the revenues being made.

I respect when someone says we've listened to your requests and you're right, we'll take that feature out. The industry spoke up and things changed because the majority can speak on boards and at shows.

This isn't an issue about taking sides, at this point is a charactor issue about some old school credible veterans of this industry and industry leaders that paved the way for others.

I love Mansion Productions, Garry is also a very cool too. And I love NATS, they also have a great service. NATS has always lived up to their word with me and I enjoy working with them too. They have an incredible program just like the MPA3 is an incredible program.

I enjoy eating at McDonalds or Burger King. Both are good. Though I'm on a diet and both are bad at the moment, bad comparision.

I hope that the dust settles real soon and people don't get caught up in the bullshit.

They can both be good. Epoch and CCBill are both good, it's been done.

Can we call this war officially over now?

All in favor say I.
