PECash sucks balls!
 

store.sex-superstore has been up and down (mostly down) for 3 days.

As of now the PECash.com website is still there. However store.sex-superstore is not up. And if you go to sex-superstore.com you are at something called Lifestyle Lounge. A couple of the links on the front page still point to lifestylelounge.com which is the same site.

So if you use these guys change your links asap and pray that you get paid what they owe you. Because I can't imagine any reason that they would be putting up a different site if they actually meant to stay in biz.

Fuckers! I was already a bit suspicious from seeing the available titles dropping steadily over the last while. Looks like the pricks used their affiliates to help them get rid of as much stock as possible before they gave them the big shaft. I'm sure that as soon as they think of it the will redirect store.sex-superstore.com and redirect the 404s so they can steal traffic from anybody that hasn't checked their store links lately.

I already switched to mallcom and changed most of my links.

Shit can happen when your dealing with a very dynamic website such as theirs.
I seriously doubt they are going anywhere, and I am sure they are trying to fix the site problems.
I have been using them for literally years and have never even once experienced a pay issue with them, not even a late payment. Then again many will not have a 3 digit or less affiliate number with a company.

Oh well, at least their shirts are nice. :glugglug

If they are having server problems why put up a different site on the domain? And not inform their affiliates?

I am not getting a different site like you are. I am getting a page can not be displayed 404.

http://www.sex-superstore.com/ goes to Lifestyle Lounge
http://sex-superstore.com/ was missing and now goes to a page with a form for tracking orders.

By the way I am getting a 404 page can not be displayed error also at pecash.com and sex-superstore.com Then on store.interracial.sex-superstore.com I am getting a 500 internal server error page can not be displayed.

www.sex-superstore.com goes to their sex-superstore order tracking service for me.
http://sex-superstore.com is still a straigh up 404 and I still see no lifestyle lounge.

store.interracial.sex-superstore.com gets a 404 and pecash.com is still there for me.

Curious where are you located?

and pecash just came back up for me.

I'm in Montreal.

It may be that it's a major server meltdown or some kind of hack. But 3 days and counting is too long for this crap. Especially when they don't bother to post anything on the PECash site or send out a mailing. Maybe they have been hoping that nobody would notice and it would just go away.

Even if they are still legit they are definitely guilty of stupidity and losing their affiliates money. Not to mention they are losing respect for their program.

If you run a tracert on sex-superstore.com what do you get?
or even store.interracial.sex-superstore.com since that is 404 for both of us?

I am timing out 1 hop out of miami at blackhole.prolexic.com 4.79.96.18

I somewhat agree but I also understand they too are loosing money and alot more than any affiliate.

for sex-superstore.com and store.interracial.sex-superstore I get the same thing. for www.sex-superstore.net I get a timeout at unknown.level13.net

Which is exactly why it's a bad idea to keep affiliates in the dark. If they had been open about it it would have cost them a lot fewer affiliates. As it is I imagine that they are going to lose a lot by staying silent. Which will cause them to lose a lot more money.

Yes and I will be calling them come morning.

Hope you at least get an answer. Nobody ever answered my email.

I always go to phone when I suspect server issues. I reason if server is fucking up, email also may be getting fucked up.

I tried the phone a couple times but didn't get anybody live. Wrong time of day when I had the opportunity I guess. And PECash was never down for me.

Dead as a doornail for me.

I hate being out of the loop, I think better of a company when they fess up to something than just keeping me in the dark. :mad:

So as long as PEcash is down, what can you guys tell me about Mallcom?

Only because I have been thinking about switching, now might be as good of a time than ever. :1orglaugh

PE Cash has constantly been a top performer for me in the past and to this day.. I dunno whats up with their system but if they are down then thats a serious issue, it's not like they go down all the time, This is probably the first time that I have heard of them bing down... Also, you never know, it could be some sort of local routing issues that has nothing to do with them...

Just my :2 cents: They send me checks and I don't even push them that hard.. have them up on some domains and have referred webmasters to them...

Must be back..

All works fine for me...

Mallcom so far has been great for me. They have really good people there.

PE CASH are professionals

You should call Don over there if u have a problam....
I am sure they'll take care of you

I just checked and things are still down there. Even PEcash.com is having probs: site up but loads slow as hell.

Personally I don't give a shit anymore if they are having server probs or something. It's now the 4th straight day of this. Any program that gave a damn about it's affiliates would have warned them long before now. If they don't post info on pecash.com they could send out an email. If not that they could put out a press release or put it on the boards.

Most people don't check their store links every day so I know there are a ton of people that have links up that are not making them money while this is going on. And the truth is that PECash has been slipping for a while now. Lately they have had 3 titles in stock for one of my girls and 7 for the other. At mallcom they have 18 and 34. So which videostore is going to make me more money?

Yeah they're really professional. They've been telling people for 4 days now that there isn't any big problem and things will be back to normal right away.

Professionals would give their affiliates some kind of warning or notice.

What pisses me off the most isn't that sales are lost. It's that they are trying to hide whatever is going on.

PEcash fight DDoS attack

The entire network of PEcash online stores has been under an intense DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack that began on Friday, September 10th and has continued to ramp up through today.
By Saturday morning September 11th, all attempts to increase server performance and increase bandwidth had failed. By Saturday afternoon we had an agreement with THE best DDoS protection service available.
It has taken another 24-48 hours to implement this service, tweak the service and propagate the DNS that brings all our relocated stores back online.

As of this morning, Monday September 13th we are 100% fully restored.
We are continuing to monitor the situation.

The good news is that our agreement with the DDoS protection service keeps us protected from DDoS attacks in the future. In fact, we are so impressed with the service and their technicians that we would not consider doing business without them from this point forward.

I would like to thank all our affiliates who know us and trust us and realize that an outage like this is very uncharacteristic of our service, history and company philosophies.

At the same time, I would like to apologize to all our affiliates for not notifying you sooner. The recovery from this attack has been all consuming and without going into great detail, there were security reasons we could not announce this sooner. Most companies would not even admit to having
experienced a DDoS attack, even after it has been brought under control, but we know we owe you an explanation.

To those who think they can find better service elsewhere, all I can say is when a DDoS attack hits, no one is safe.

To our competitors, all I can say is, when it happens to you, give me a call and I'll tell you what your options are to minimize the impact.

Due to security precautions, I cannot reveal any more information about who the DDoS service protection company is, or any numbers regarding the volume of the attack, so please don't ask.

What a fucking weekend?

To KBizzle, media & feeadultcontent: Thanks for keeping the faith.

Don
