Dakota tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. However, in business we often try other strategies with dead horses, including the following:

1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Say things like, "This is the way we have always ridden this horse."
4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
5. Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses.
6. Increasing the standards to ride dead horses.
7. Appointing a tiger team to revive the dead horse.
8. Creating a training session to increase our riding ability.
9. Comparing the state of dead horses in todays environment.
10. Change the requirements declaring that "This horse is not dead."
11. Hire contractors to ride the dead horse.
12. Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed.
13. Declaring that "No horse is too dead to beat."
14. Providing additional funding to increase the horse's performance.
15. Do a Cost Analysis study to see if contractors can ride it cheaper.
16. Purchase a product to make dead horses run faster.
17. Declare the horse is "better, faster and cheaper" dead.
18. Form a quality circle to find uses for dead horses.
19. Revisit the performance requirements for horses.
20. Say this horse was procured with cost as an independent variable.
21. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.

How do you know I'm not an affiliate of either program? Do you have admin access?

You make an awful lot of assumptions.

The beauty of being an outsider looking in...

I don't have any money tied up either way. I was commenting as someone always looking for new programs. Until someone can convice me otherwise, I have TWO programs two stay away from....

Special for ARIKA

you are a wonderful and special person

Take care of yourself first, that is all that is needed

Much hugs and kiss to your happiness

Lets take the people that DON'T have affiliate money at stake here, and ask them to please STFU for once. No one cares what little you know about stuff. Let the affiliates ask questions here and understand exactly why this occured, and why we will potentially be screwed.

Are you an affiliate of mine? If so hit me up on icq or e-mail me. Simple as that. Checks have been sent out. Whoever assumed or brought up that I spent company funds on personal trips is dead wrong. If there is a concern that hit me up.

[email protected]
icq - 314694667

If anyone has proof of me spending company funds on trips post it or what is in my bank account then post it.

Without going through the other 100000 page thread, I thought I read that Newbreed said to you there was 600 in the account, and you said yes. Maybe I misread that. If everyone gets paid, then I think its obvious no affiliate cares about anything else. Honestly, as long as everyone is paid then the rest of this stuff doesn't matter to anyone.

Yes that was misread. I remember him saying it, but I never said yes. NewBreed does not know how much is in my personal account or business account. The site is going very well, and not lagging at all.
The reason there was a delay in affiliate payment was because my server crashed and my nats had to be restored as well as the site. I had to get them to restore the payouts for 09/16 - 09/30. Those checks have already been sent out. But that is why there was a delay, it has nothing to do with there not being funds to cover it.

Unfortunately, the nature of the beast is that if you open up the door to the personal life even a crack everyone here feels the irresistable urge to comment, dissect and shred.

Only way to keep this from happening is to leave the personal stuff out completely.

As an advertiser and sponsor of WM Access LA I don't want to be associated with this shit. Personally, I understand the pain of break ups and the emotional turmoil that is associated with it but on a business level I think airing all this dirty laundery in public is bad for everyone in this industry.

We've both been here pretty much since day one of GFY and seen it go through MANY different cycles, but this is taking it too far.

i would never presume to tell Lens how to run his business, but as an advertiser here I am uncomfortable with this whole affair.

Any traffic i get from this drama is not going to increase my bottom line.

I can agree with this.

But I know all too well that we can say it's nobody's business etc until we're blue in the face and dozens of sig whores and 30 yr old adolescents and people with nothing better to do are still going to post comments.

I've seen too many train wrecks here to doubt that.

WTF do you have to do with any of this?

If you have not got the brains to figure out why I mentioned that, I am not going to explain it to you.
