Really? So if I go out and build 1000 sites, and I'm so gracious as to send my valuable traffic to the CyberAge billing page... Dave is so bloody out of his mind that he tries to rationalize not paying people for the joins because they "haven't updated their sites"?
He doesn't even own the traffic. He's getting the money for doing nothing but being linked to, and he doesn't think you deserve the money if you "haven't updated your site".
You'd think by his attitude that Dave himself was the one personally generating the traffic and the joins, and that everyone else were his employees.

You have to realize the perspective. Many sponsors these days see their small and medium sized affiliates as being like scum. Riffraff within the industry who don't belong. It makes it easier to screw people if you see them as beneath you and undeserving of respect. You can always rationalize it that they are getting more than they deserve anyway so they should be thankful. You deserve your same lifestyle and screw everyone else.
About the small and medium sized affiliates being riffraff the irony is that usually these people are the more honest ones. It's more often than not the big guys who you see banging cards and running massive spam and scam operations. That's the
real riffraff of the industry in my opinion and has been for many years not the honest middle class porn webmaster.
