It's just the nature of the beast. THe problem may not be with the program itself, it could just be in accounting

I've gone many years without having one late check (although not this year). If companies want to pay on time, they will. I expect my payment to be ON TIME. I do not want to have to fuck around with hitting people up and begging for my money.
If programs could mostly send payments on time for the last ten years then there is no excuse for them not doing so in 2010. A legitimate sponsor who knows how to properly run a business should have no problem with this. IMO, anyone "dragging their feet" needs to be dropped. And if someone gets rude when you nicely ask for your money then you need to tell them where to go because you shouldn't have to ask in the first place.
And btw, not paying your affiliates is more like a business not being able to make payroll to it's employees than it is not being able to pay an invoice for a good or service (such as hosting). The affiliate sent the sales, the sponsor has the revenue, so the affiliate needs to be paid their cut as agreed.
