Bump for not getting over it, for not moving on, for not accepting theft.

I think you are right. If someone is owed a lot they should consider going after them legally. I see one person here already considering it. But don't forget that even if it's only a couple hundred dollars there are still other ways to make someone pay. You just cause them many times more problems in publicity with their other ventures to the point where it would have been far cheaper to simply pay you.Not trying to picking on MelissaMoney specifically, but here's what's going to happen:
MelissaMoney.com and all other future affiliate programs that shut down are not going to continue to pay out rebills OR accounts that haven't reached the minimums, unless there is a precedent set otherwise. The only other precedent to set would be to hold the programs accountable to the legal agreements they made between themselves and the affiliates. Then you'll start seeing programs paying out & then closing their doors.

Just saying & learning from the past experience. If you want accountability they have to be held accountable.
Personally if I really had the money I'd rather pay what I owed to my ex-affiliates as opposed to having to deal with a bunch of angry webmasters shadowing me for the next ten years and trying to sabotage my future ventures. Trying to save three months worth of rebills and the last payments with this as the price would be a fool's bargain.
In this case if they really have the money I hope they will reconsider. Especially if the reason they are doing this has to do with getting some very bad advice from someone.
You don't like my posts? Put me on ignore or fuck right off. I'll say what I want.

"Oh yeah baby... while your moaning... why don't you belt out a few chords from that new single you made while i'm gaping your ass! HAWT!"She thinks she is going to become famous because of the record. I saw another girl go round telling everyone she was leaving porn to become a famous singer. Had a single about as good as Melissas. She was back taking it up the arse within 6 months after it didnt work out.

WTF? I see a lot of drama here but I checked to see more than 1 affiliate that owes more than 100 bucks... I didn''t see any.
Just adapt that it is is 2011 now...
It is not <2005 anymore... The days that they made 5-12 sales per day are over now!
A good day will be 5 but an average one will be 1-2...
This kind of sites does not sell anymore.
Offcourse they should pay their affiliates but Biggy has explained why this is not the case. If it should be profitable they should have kept the affiliate program. But it is very difficult to get sales nowadays so they decided to stop the affiliate program.
I would never do biz with the owners (Melissa + Shane). I dont' like the idea to get screwed in the ass and the affiliates are getting screwed but for how much? 6? 9? 50? ok that is too much but keep going on with the work and keep in mind to do not anymore biz with Melissa and Shane
The site will still get some sales from typeins but it will be dead soon.
Just pull your links (as asked by Biggy) and keep on working on other projects!

Whoa this thread blew up quick... I didn't mean any drama by originally posting this btw, just figured it was big news and would get posted one way or another anyways.
I was also just saying thanks for the good times I had when promoting her years back when I was still a small fish in the adult pond. Was one of the first programs I ever started pushing I think. Nothing but respect to Biggy, guy seems to know his shit quite well and I admire that.Comment

2) Melissa + Shane + Biggy (Where is the transparency, the opening of nats, the screen shots of account balances and rebills, or all of the other things Biggy could do for the affiliates besides come here and give bullshit excuses?)
3) I can't speak for everyone, but I haven't stopped working to concentrate on this thread. But I certainly will come back from time to time to bump it.(ICQ - 664784872)Comment

I think the GFY name you gave yourself, the name that you wish to be known as, is appropriate.1) You didn't look hard enough
2) Melissa + Shane + Biggy (Where is the transparency, the opening of nats, the screen shots of account balances and rebills, or all of the other things Biggy could do for the affiliates besides come here and give bullshit excuses?)

Some affiliates have contacted me directly, and I have helped them where appropriate.
GFY is not my support forum, and you are not my keeper.
Out of everyone, I am owed the most. I am very grateful for the time I had with MM, had a great run, even if it didn't end as clean as it could have. Such is life.Last edited by Biggy2; 10-17-2011, 03:26 PM.Comment

you don't know what you're talking about. solo girl sites still sell. not 50 sales a day anymore but 5-12 - in my sleep.
my 5 year old solo site still hits 5 sales a day off and on which is why i say Melissa's site is still making Shane decent money. Unless for some reason Melissa's site doesn't have the staying power mine does - could be, the site i'm talking about is more 'teenie' than Melissa's so maybe that helps. i don't know.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment

Biggy,
Melissa and boyfriend obviously threw you under the bus. What i don't understand is, why are you protecting them? Especially with you being owed the most?
You should be releasing addresses and numbers for the affiliates who find the need to file small claims. Business is business and any affiliate that is owe money has the right to file claim.
They're obviously out of the business and won't be seen again, so fuck it....what's there to protect exactly?? What are you trying to salvage with them? Doesn't make sense.
I probably should have read the whole thread before posting so sorry if posted answer already.Last edited by onlymovies; 10-17-2011, 03:47 PM.HomemadeVideoPass.com - High converting Homemade mega site!
