When viewing the html i notice they dont have the NATS parameters at all and furthermore all the javascript for the join pages seem to be pointing to directory /ignore/systemwide/

Is this a nats feature ?

After reading how touted nats was in regards to shaving , im curious as to what this feature is and why the join pages were not being tracked by NATS even on a default account.

Now i cant see adult.com doing this on purpose in any way, but it makes me wonder if theres any way to discern if your hits are being counted by a sponsor .
Hi Smokey,

first of all, let me make clear that the second we read this on GFY, we contacted adult.com about it. I am sure they will be happy to confirm that.

Second, the site it was redirecting to was NOT a NATS powered site. Currently only their realitycash sites are NATS powered.

The reason that this happened was that they use load balancing accross 4 machines to handle the galleries and one or two of them did not have that gallery so SOME of the traffic hit 404 which resulted in that redirect.

As far as I know this has been resolved now but I will verify with adult.com again.

That /ignore/systemwide/ is a naming thing, has nothign to do with NATS.

If I misunderstood anything of your question, let mek now. More than happy to discuss it here, or if you want on ICQ 1889711.
