For anyone (not technical enough to already know how to do this) who is not getting paid, locked out of their weblounge, and also feels that they are being treated unfairly and has exhausted all means to resolve the situation here is an .htaccess file which you should be able to place in the protected (where the content actually is, not the join page) directory. All requests within this directory from Cyberage domains will be rewritten to the domain and url specified (you need to change that part).

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.+\.avsofchoice\.com/* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.+\.cybersexnetwork\.com/* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.+\.cyberage\.com/* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.+\.ugas\.com/* [NC]
RewriteRule /* http://www.DOMAIN.com/chargeback.html [R,L]
Change "http://www.DOMAIN.com/chargeback.html" to where ever you'd like them to go. I suggest either forwarding them to another AVS which will actually pay you or perhaps setting up a file advising the customer on how to initiate a chargeback against Cyberage. Of course you'll need to have your server configured for it to work but most virtual hosts already are.

If anyone has IPs or User Agents for the bots cyberage uses to check sites, let me know and I can whitelist them so they'll think the sites are still up.

Just make sure you really want to do this and all other options have been exhausted
Test it to make sure it works. If not simply remove the file (.htaccess) to reverse it. Back up any existing .htaccess file in case you need it.
