Final payments will be paid out pursuant to existing accounting policies for any sums due and payable prior to November 16, 2003.

This email is intended to serve as our official notification to you, that as of November 15, 2003, any limited use license to use any Adult Check registered service marks is revoked and all agreements and obligations of Adult Check to you are terminated.

We realize that this announcement may come as a surprise, and it is with regret that we must take the steps outlined above. Adult Check has always strived to be an industry leader in regards to current and future trends, and thus we have reevaluated our entire business model.

Hahaha, wake the fuck up. You think they want all the AC webmasters freaking out together like WWIII on their board.

LOL, anyone who didn't see the writing on the wall long ago is living in dreamland.

Always be diversified. Always save for rough times when the shit hits the fan. Always stay ahead of the pack finding the next trend and get on it early.

Exactly that. Even without the VISA crap the writing has been on the wall for AC for a long time. If you couldn't see it coming, aren't in the top 350 (or better still top100) and had AC as your primary income source then more fool you.

clubsexy · 11-10-2003, 07:23 PM

I know people that had thousands of little sites with them and I really feel bad for them. What a load of work.

On a bright side Deluxepass is kickin ass and takin names. Honestly Clem is one straight shootin motherfucker. Feel bad for AC

Centurion · 11-10-2003, 07:40 PM

But you have to admit they did buck the trend in one area!!

They announced this on a Monday instead of a Friday!

I never fucked with AC but did you have to use there server to host the sites? Thats one of the big differences I see with DP. You must host the site on there servers effectively saying the site is theres and all your doing is sending traffic just like all the other sponsors or would you say that's "stretchin it"??

Rebills to the webmaster maybe. THEY are still getting them I bet. They are staying open!! They are only dumping the webmasters and going with a new plan using their top 100 webmasters to promote their sites only and new ones made by them and AC I guess.

So, I bet they are keeping all the rebills for themselves!

That's what they are doing, they said so themselves.

seven · 11-10-2003, 08:53 PM

That fucking sucks really it was a good steady income from rebills. I'll surely miss the money

Kimmykim · 11-11-2003, 10:07 AM

Somehow I dont think AC is closing. Changing their business model for sure, but closing, no.
