Do you plan to in the future sell the content?

Great to see your attempt to let webmasters/affiliates know. But also sad to see another program shutting. Good luck on your next ventures

Although clearly within the terms of most standard TOS, I consider this kind of request to be rather shitty. Your affiliates (not me, I'm just being a classic GFY blowhard) will have been using your content for many years for the dual purpose of promoting your program and building their sites. If you aren't selling the content, you've got no need to remove it all from the internet, so you're burning down your affiliate's sites as well as your own for no purpose. I say again, shitty thing to do.

Fortunately, the DMCA threat is almost certainly a bluff. Nobody who is going out of business is going to put that much time and energy into a pointless and expensive content-wrangling exercise. Smart affiliates will laugh and ignore.

It was nice to inform affiliates, 2.5 months notice front.
i tend to agree with post above, but then again, you least give your affiliates a head start

see ya later

You are selling the assets.. so why not try to sell the whole thing intact?

There must be a problem with the content. Rouge performers going rouge?
