I agree. It could very well be that the sponsor isn't shaving but the new join form template from the new stats program just isn't converting as well as the old one.
Could be something as simple as the "free trial" checkbox isn't checked by default and the monthly one is now. Or maybe they've updated there "disclosure" to cut down on chargebacks and it's now worded in a way that cuts down on sales etc.. ie. the small print that says the trial converts to full membership at the bottom of the join page may stand out more on the new template or is worded in a way that makes it so clear it scares of some surfers cause they thought it was really free.
I think people are too quick to jump to the "shave" word. I've personally have seen the same things happen but then with further inquiry I've found that it was the join page that changed. Simple tweaks to the join page can easily increase/decrease sales.
The question though is if it really is something like the join page then ALL sales should have been effected from all affiliates.
