Will you were lucky enough to produce an ace at the right moment, enough with the gloating.
My apologies to all for pouring some high octane fuel on the Zango issue with this thread but I think it helped to achieve two important things.
Firstly, it forced iFriends hand to make a decision and they chose to drop their direct or indirect support of Zango. Unless that is you believe they just happened to complete their lengthy investigation into Zango the morning after this thread appeared.
Secondly AFF/Cams made their position crystal clear. They choose to continue to use Zango. If they haven't stopped by this point it seems unlikely they will unless industry wide changes are brought about.
Will, since you say you knew about iFriends using Zango from day one and haven't tried to hide it can you show me where you posted about it way back then? I must have missed it apparently along with most other people. I would never have made this thread if that information was common knowledge and I hadn't kept seeing the same affiliate codes. I cry whenever someone posts a "timeline " pic in the few threads I make but I didn't see one in this thread.
Even when I made that thread two or three weeks ago about iFriends using that other adware company, you acted like iFriends involvement with adware was all news to you.
If it was rogue affiliates and not iFriends themselves, why wouldn't iFriends have canned the affiliates right away once it was brought to their attention? They could have seen it with their own eyes in a couple minutes if they didn't believe screenshots? What could they possibly have to "investigate" that took several weeks and finished the morning after this thread?
It would be like me finding a burglar in my house and instead of shooting the fucker and/or calling the cops, I instead jump on the Internet and start researching better ways to protect my house, while I watch him carrying my stuff out to his truck.
Also I assume iFriends pops have been on Zango for weeks or months before we noticed them. I find it very hard to believe they weren't aware of the "problem" before you brought it to their attention but I do give you props once again for having enough influence with them to get them to drop it.
The hippocrytical part is obviously that you continued to let them directly or thru' affiliates, steal sales from you for several weeks after you knew about it because you trusted them that they would make it right in the end, despite you saying that you wouldn't support sponsors who support adware.
"Hey I'm raping you right now but I will be done in just a few minutes so be quiet until then and I promise I won't do it again. Sound ok? "
They made it right in the end by promising not to steal sales anymore. Did they offer to compensate you and other affiliates for sales lost in the weeks or months prior? ...because that will be the first question asked of any Sponsor that drops Zango and I haven't seen it asked about iFriends yet.
Just think how things would have turned out if iFriends had taken another few weeks in their "investigation". It would have taken you months to dig yourself out of the mud hurled at you by your fan club. Like I say, it was lucky you had a magic shovel in that your Sponsor dropped Zango rather than you having to drop iFriends.
