Default Re: So... Epoch terminated some Accounts with 24 hour notice

I do find it very interesting how the worm turned on AFF so quickly. 12 - 18 months ago Lars pretty much walked on water and was treated like god. This time, I saw him at the show dressed down, pretty much hiding upstairs, and avoiding public contact. He was very toned down and playing it very low key indeed.

If you check out the zoo, the opinion there is the same - few people take AFF's defence anymore, more people are realizing that AFF pretty much boned the porn industry and used stolen porn content to pump up it's bottom line (not directly, but by being the sponsors and direct ad buyers on some of the biggest tube and torrent sites around, the pretty much made themselves the defacto fences of stolen content).

AFF is borderline toxic at this point, and I think that the processors aren't that interested in that part of the business anymore.

Just remember who defended AFF.
Eric, Lens and the rest of the "heros" at GFY with the deletion of threads and the ban of the most vocal people.

And I dont forget those that scoffed back when Streamray redirected my traffic to AFF. WHats the big deal you said? ZANGO was the big deal... the advertising was too expensive to include more than one domain to steal affiliates revenue from while keeping the traffic.

As some of you read this and remain silent... you know its true.
