Jesus man, you're a successful webmaster and still checking stats manually? Get with the program, stats remote has been around for years

Anyway QuickBuck admitted to contacting this guy and giving him a heads up. So from the time it was posted here, Quickbuck was notifed of this happening and they contacted the person doing it, who then killed his zango campaigns. All in the matter of 10 - 20 mins. That tells me that Quickbuck knew the "affilaite" really well. Either someone who they had on ICQ or picked up the phone and got in touch with them asap. Also, if this was an affiliate they knew well one would think it would only be logical that the affiliate would have let quickbuck know what they were doing.I mean come on, that is the type of activity you get approved before you start doing it.

So they contacted him and asked him to stop... sounds like a reasonable response to me.

But we all know how this game works, 9 out of 10 times the affiliate company makes an account and then uses it themself so they can deny it when they get caught. Sexbankroll was the only idiot that used zango and used their own urls LOL can't blame an affiliate on that, oh wait those idiots tried anyway.

Forgive me if i'm completely off base here, I haven't read too much into this little drama.
Although we both agree that it should be... zango is not illegal, and if they were comfortable with using it then getting "busted" on GFY wouldn't matter to them. You act as if they've committed a crime and have something to fear, if they came out and said "yes, we're using zango" what exactly would they have to loose? You could say they would lie about it to avoid the bad publicity... but do you honestly believe that any affiliates making good money with quickbuck would quit promoting them over something like this? And you really think they care about a bunch of newbie sheep that haven't made them a dime posting their opinions and bashing them in a GFY thread? On both accounts, I highly doubt it.
If quickbuck says they're not using zango then I'd be willing to bet they're probably not using zango.
