Please, you don't give a shit how much is owed to the affiliates, facts, or reality, as clearly demonstrated from your posts.
But here is some fact and reality anyway, even if $6 is all that's owed, it's still stealing, they are all thieves, and you condone it. I learned a lot from this thread, thank you all.(ICQ - 664784872)Comment

That's the way it goes with these programs. They come out of the gate, enjoy great success, especially using the affiliate model that just crashed and burned, market changes and they don't change with it, can't make the payments on the lifestyle and back to earth they fall. Meanwhile, it is fuck you to everybody else. Just another fuck job documented on GFY. Who's next? Some of you more astute poindexters may have noticed a trend here. It's been going on for quite a few years. These program owners aren't stupid, they see that no action is taken against thieves, no lawsuits, no problems with the IRS, no jailtime. So what is the downside? A few threads on the forums that die down and a few days later it's old news. So who's next?Comment

Yeah, that would've been an awesome message.
"Hey guys,
We stopped paying you, but send us more traffic and we'll try to catch up at some point, even with all the problems we have. Our conversion ratios are fucking awesome, there's hasnt been a content shoot in 2-3 years, and melissa is going on 30. We know how patient and understanding affiliates are when it comes to non-payment, so please push us more. Thanks."
I've said it multiple times. YOU SIR, ARE AN IDIOT. This was handled correctly. When it became clear there was no money going out, I made sure to put notices everywhere, and shut it down. Please stop posting, I'm getting dumber reading your messages and replying to them.Last edited by Biggy2; 10-15-2011, 04:07 PM.Comment

...and you're just a hostile little shit.
I've seen people do it before. It's called kindness and respecting business partners. I've knowingly kept sending clicks to sponsors who had payment problems because I respected them and trusted them. They actually came through and paid me. But I knew they would. It would be a lot better than ripping off your affiliates anyway.
I'm not shitting you at all when I tell you that I have seen local business owners charged with fraud for doing stuff like this. One had a dance studio and accepted advance yearly subscriptions the very day before they decided to close and flee the state in the middle of the night. The police decided to pursue it. The question is how long did they know they were shutting down? It can very well lead to jailtime. Want to see them in jail?Last edited by signupdamnit; 10-15-2011, 04:14 PM.

how much control of this did/does Melissa even have? i've met her a few times and she was an amazing, kind hearted and above board girl in my opinion (and everyone elses). i can't picture her being ok with "epassing" affiliates. she is talented and far from finished or washed up. surely there could have been a way to rescue or revive the program with the help of larger programs. at the very least she could have sold out to one of many companies that would have been happy to take over. this doesn't make sense unless she didn't have control of her own program.Julie Larson

I'm not saying it will happen but that it could and that I have seen it happen in similar cases. How long did they plan this? If they were accepting rev share signups after they knew they would likely be closing it could be construed as fraud. If the police in the local area want to go after them and someone gets pissed enough to try it could happen.
