AFF made themselves a target by initially ignoring affiliates and then calling us sheep when the heat didn't fade by itself. AFF isn't the only program using spyware, but they are defending it.
I've never talked to Will76 privately, but I do believe that his involvement in this is coming from a desire to clean up this industry to a point where stealing is not accepted. I also believe that he would have targeted any program as heavily involved in spyware as AFF. AFF just responded in a way that made it seem like they are the biggest thieves in the industry. AFF did this to themselves.

If Sexsearch would have:
1. Replied to the accusations... then
2. Admitted to doing it... then
3. Told us they were going to keep doing it... then
4. Insulted and laughed at me and everyone here... then
5. Proceeded to personally attack me and call me a hypocrite about 200 times.
Who ever did the above I guarantee you they would have been the center of my focus as well.
AFF made this about them. They become the poster boy for zango and scumware by the way they responded and handled the matter. They become even more of the focus of me by the way they attacked and insulted me. Go back 2 weeks ago and you see Sagi threatening me. Lars just started pouring it on GFY in the last couple days, but they have been taking pot shots at me for weeks now.
When the heat got turned on them here by everyone else they tried to spin the whole deal by saying I was a hypocrite. Instead of addressing why they were using spyware and what they were doing to quit they put 100% of their efforts on trying to destroy my credibility. They couldn't even do that. Now they dissapear, will likely wait a few days and come back and throw more money at people and hope they will forget. Great business model. How about stop doing the thing that is pissing everyone off.
