APC - oh my gosh what a JOKE!!

They got no backup service - their site is off for the past 4 days or so

they say they will fully compensate the webmasters, but their reputation is BADLY harmed

If you are down that long you should just close up and start over under a new name. No one would want to risk their potential earnings on a company that can not have at least a 97% up time.

They're great guys and run programs well. They've explained what happened, acknowledged their backup oversight, are planning countermeasures to avoid a repeat, and are going to compensate webmasters for the downtime. That's a stand-up response to a crisis. Every company has problems now and then, and how they handle it is telling. I have full confidence in them and think their response is to be commended.

they also didn't process payments that were due to go out on Monday the 11th

so on top of all that.. we aren't getting paid this week.

from their website

"Important Note: Payout that was to go out on Monday the 10th has not
been processed yet for the fact that when our server went down
we no longer had access to print payout reports to cut the checks.
As soon as we get the drive back up and going, payouts will be made ASAP!
Thanks again for your support!"

No need to panic, APC is not going anywhere. As stated in my announcemnt on our site we WILL be compensating you for all this downtime as soon as we get back online fully.

We are up front with our webmasters and we did have an oversight with not having a backup of a critical drive, thus the downtime, and for that I apologize. It wont happen again, and we will come back stronger with more sites, etc..

Thanks for the support arg and everybody else who has supported us during this downtime and we assure you everybody will be paid and compensated for our error!

Adultplayersclub is top notch and we promote them and do very well. This is just a small hickup and they are compensating for any downtime.

This doesn't hurt there rep they are a solid sponsor with great converting sites.

Look forward to APC being live again I got some good ex member optin mailings to do

Cheers

Don't hate the player. Sometimes, shit happens. Even to the best of them.

It's a crappy situation to be in for them, so instead of spreading hate, give them some lovin'. AdultPlayersClub is one of the most solid programs around and you'll see that once this mishap has been dealt with, they'll be back as strong as ever before.

BossHawg and his brotha run this operation, so unless you've never sent them traffic before, or promoted their gigs, you'd know that they always make good on every little second of downtime. Although, god knows, conversions are so good that you'd make your "lost" money back anyway, even if they didn't comp you.



(yeah, I posted that in another thread as well - but for the asswipes out there, here it is again)

it must be a real bummer for them, they will lose heaps of traffic from this as people take down the links and don't bother to put them back up again.

Hey they were upfront about it and didn't dodge the issue like many do if they are being dishonest things will be fine.

There always has to be shit talkers when a problem happens.

Boss Hawg and companies have been around for years and are always straight shooters.

Bryan if you need anything let me know mano.

Peace
