whats your take on this?
As long as the webmasters pays up on affiliate revenues before closing, then its all just a business decision on their part. While it would suck to be losing that affiliate revenue, you can also look at it from the 'glass half full' perspective and be thankful you had the opportunity for a while to make some money from them.

Businesses close shop all the time...its just the way things go. They're not obligated to explain why. Its only a bad business practice if you close the sites and fail to pay affiliates remaining monies owed.
