DatingGold has always been good to me!
I only have ever had 1 issue with them...not receiving a check due to a US mail mix up.

Once I e-mailed AK about it, he promptly had them stop payment on the check and even took time out of his day to give me a call, telling me not to worry that it would sent via epassporte ASAP.I got the money and was happy.
I've been in this biz for over 11 years.
Normally, most other sponsors will not take the time out of their day to call you up and reassure you something like this.To me that says a lot about the quality of employees Dating Gold has.They definitely care and want to keep their affiliates happy.
As for that post on BHW,that site seems like a lot of younger kids from what I can tell, and most are full of shit.
