3) Company A switches away from NATS to MPA.

4) Everyone starts gossiping because this is the first time that has happened.

5) Company A says that the owners of NATS are trying to discredit Company A's credibility.

6) Company A says fuck it and posts why they switched and proof.

7) NATS hits up their ICQ list for support in this thread

8) End of storey.

The problem is, NATS has created this reputation of if you promote a sponsor that uses their software, as an affiliate you are 110% safe. Now we find out that there are tracking issues. It's not about maliscious intent. If some guy rapes you in your asshole, and then some other guy slips and falls and his dick ends up in your asshole, you're going to be equally pissed off. Or would you?

Obviously a lot of the program owners dont see this as *that* big of a deal. It's not like this is an issue fucking with *their* money. So we should all just shut up and go him. YA OK!

I promote a lot of NATS programs, and this issue alone wont make me stop promoting programs that use their software, but some of the replies in this thread really made me think twice about some of the programs using NATS.
