I don't feel bad about that since they did ad a script on their server that could alter with the ratios shown to webmasters. But still I do not want to put us in a situation where we can be sued for posting their name on the boards. I really hope for your understanding here.

And think about it, if this was you, wouldn't you have your lawyer team behind you before you did something like this?

My guess though is that some one will soon find out, because the program they used to send traffic to sudanly stoped working and count signups.

I'm not a lawyer or anything, but your actions (terminating license, not this thread), are going to have a ripple effect among webmasters. You're effectively killing off a program and hence stopping new joins from occuring, thereby ending a webmasters income from this specific sponsor. Although I do agree if a script is put in place that could manipulate earnings, something needs to be done but either way I would expect this sponsor to fire back at MPA. Best of luck dealing with all this guys.
