mpa3 ... i don't know if i really like that decision

We would be stupid to think everyone would be happy but we would be curious as to why you feel that way?

Thanks

Congrats on the switch, good move :thumbsup

Steve

Thank you Steve. I'll be talking to you in the morning tomorrow. :)

Intersting.

hehe you said backend

Congratulations on the upgrades = improvement :)

Congrats on the move Chris, Jason and Alex . . .

For their affiliates . . . all drama aside you have to give them a ton of respect for making this change . . . they are doing everything they can to make sure they can run the tightest ship possible.

I dont get it, arent programs entitled to move off one affiliate software product if they are unhappy without getting flak?

I am sure NATS works for some , MPA3 for others, Exec Stats or X3's Partnersoft for others - there is no winner take all solution. Stop whining.

Thanks Oystein for taking the time to come down here to San Diego and spending the day with us answering our questions and any concerns we had at the time. So far the transition has been very smooth and your team has been very supportive and professional. We look forward to the new features being implemented in the near future as well.

So far the results even though early, have been very promising : ))

Thanks everyone for the support :winkwink:

I'm just going to sneak in here and let you guys know we got some fresh designs from AMP for some of our old sites... FreshAmateurFaces and JismJunkies

ps..... 50 reasons to <censored>

looking good :thumbsup

i personally like the mpa3 software, but I also dig the new nats.....they are both great solid pieces of software....

I'll let you know if I see some major differences. So far I can see a few, but this needs to be tested much more to be considered more reliable information.

Will bite my tounge for now.

Okay guys, no more phone calls for the day, gotta go home and eat, 7:00pm-ish here. I will try and check my icqs around 9-10pm. Talk to the rest of you in the morning. 14 messages....lol

Chris

intresting idea about not having any free trailers on your new tour

i like your design do you mind telling me who did them?

thx

I'll let you know how its working after a couple more months. It is something we implemented a while back. Less can be more sometimes, when it comes to enticing the surfer to buy, and long as you give them more than expected on the back-end.

The one and only AMP of course. He normally signs the pages at the bottom, I will have to check if he did... "BULT BY AMP"

okay, really, gotta go now...

I think AMP did them

congrats and good luck..looking good

The eccentric and always controversial Amp does all of our design work. If you are unaware as to Amp's background you can do a search for Amputate Your Head... he is one of the most flamboyant and brilliant designers i've ever worked with and it's been one hell of a ride so far.

To all those concerned with the change it's been a really nice transition that has been extremely smooth.

can't wait to get started with the work :) thanks for talking today

OOooohhh! A merchant account! Better conversions! Congrats!

It was a pleasure talking to you as well. If you need anything else, you have my info. Thanks again for your trust in us with your traffic.

Chris

ps...I see all the ICQs now that I am back home guys and gals, but its 11pm, and I am going to call it a night so I can be in early tomorrow morning, I will get back to the rest of you with questions then. Thanks for understanding.

Chris

It was real pleasure working with them from techical point of view. Their tech Matt is extremely good and Chris & Alex were fantastic.
Any company can easily cooperate with these guys - they simply rock.

Interesting. This is the first time I hear of a big affiliate program switching from NATS to MPA3. Personally, I prefer NATS over MPA3, mainly because MPA3 has a built in shaving feature, which can serve absolutely no good purpose for affiliates.

Good luck with the new software though, I hope it continues to show overall improvement for you guys :glugglug

Your new sites look amazing Alex.

Sorry, I have to correct you. MPA3 does not have a built in shave feature and i've been over it with a fine tooth comb. You are confusing it with an earlier version of MPA. The shave feature was totally removed. And, just for the record. Any software can be modified regardless of whether it's NATS, MPA or whatever and if you don't believe that all you have to do is dissect the code and scrutinize the day to day operations of various software and at what point it breaks down and becomes a less viable solution for businesses.

You also have to remember that shaving comes in all forms. It can be done without the program's consent or knowledge. For instance a program could be "tied" into a 3rd party biller only to discover that the revenue earned by affiliates isn't properly being dispersed. Sometimes it isn't dishonesty that causes shaving it's an incompetence factor on the programmer's/developers end. It's the operators of the software and the program's trustworthiness that dictates the implementation and use of a shave feature. Many programs using MPA2 never used the shave feature and some even had it totally removed. So, to blacklist a company for features in a software from the past is rediculous.

However, I can understand your concerns but you can rest assured that our books are totally open to the public for scrutiny at any time because we have filed with the SEC to become a publicly traded company and that requires us to give access to our accounting and reconciliations. We also invite anyone that would like to see our admin or program in person to contact us for directions to our office. Unfortunately we can't give access remotely because of security issues but we will gladly host any of you as our guest to review our entire program.

Thanks Mike. Amp knows what he is doing when it comes to design.

Have to love comments by the clueless.

To save retyping crap my own view on it from an ICQ conversation I was having....

***: But will people trust mpaX ?
tipsy: thats the problem but to an extent more fool them
tipsy: MPA learnt a very hard lesson and are highly unlikely to repeat the mistake so I'd trust them more than most at the moment
***: Oh yes
***: And people have a short attention span/memory
tipsy: true - then you gotta take into account it's all about bottom line/sales and if that increases, cant see how the system they use matters
tipsy: Of course there are many not bright enough to see that. Their loss and for the most part they'll not send many /any sales anyway so more for the rest of us

Now may just have to get my ass into gear and retry J&A again. :)

i can see many people looking at mpa3 now thanks to JA

america's most wanted

We will not be commenting in these threads. If anyone wants to speak with us regarding it they can reach us via phone or icq. Jason and Alex were asked to move away from NATS several times over the past 2 months. We thank them for finally doing so and we wish them luck.

You asked us to move? That is news to us. My recolection is different as to why we moved. I'm willing to air it all out here, you will most likely stay just on the phone with others, where you can "control" the conversation.

Regardless Albright, look at the bright side, we don't have to complain about everything we hated about your software, and you don't have to make somewhat futile attempts at trying to fix it anymore. So it is a win-win situation.

I'm not going to bicker with you on the boards as it won't get either of us anywhere. Good luck in the future with your program.

How can I get in on some of this head/hose action from you? :Graucho

If you don't want to "bicker" with us here on the boards, than stay off the thread.

People should know you are in the wrong for one simple reason:

NEVER, IN THE HISTORY OF NATS, HAVE YOU STAYED AWAY FROM A NEGATIVE NATS THREAD, SINCE YOU GUYS WERE OPERATIONAL. FUNNY HOW THIS TIME YOU JUST WAITING AND WATCHED.

Why come here and spread a brutal lie that you ASKED us to move away from nats? That is bullshit and you know it. I can back up everything I have said here with proof, and I do hope you are intelligent enough to know that.

I wonder if you will call Alex and I again this morning and threaten us to "play hush hush".

There is not an agenda to bring your company to its knees, but backing me into a corner by spreading false allegations, will surely do you no good in the end. It is bad business. You should know better.
