I just ran across a couple after reading the first post in this thread:
http://www.gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/956540-deal-slow-pay-programs-excuse-excuse.html
2 examples:
Tranny Pay - used to be $100 now $200
Niche Castle - used to be $25 or $50 - now $200 (big difference for new comers)
<rant>Honestly I don't give a shit if they raise it, I just want to be notified. I'm sure they will enjoy drinking the blood, sweat and tears of new webmasters. </rant>
