In 2004-2005 Clickcash had more affiliates than all other cam programs combined, in fact more than any other adult program. They went through a period of purging spammer's/tos violaters accounts or stopping payment on those that failed to fax in the signed tos agreement, but I've never seen any proof at all of them "scamming" anyone as you put it. The problem with Clickcash is that up until 2 years ago they had almost no board/forum presence. So all it took was few affiliates who had a problem to bitch and complain on the boards with no response, to make something appear much bigger than it was.
To say that they have scammed 1000's of affiliates is complete bullshit, please list some of these top names in the industry and how they were promoting CC. If Will putting a Clickcash banner in his sig "shocked" you, then it makes me wonder how closely you even follow this board. He's been the biggest trumpeter of Clickcash over the last 7 years on this board, and has taken his own time to help 100's of CC affiliates.
I don't care if you think Will is an ass, but saying things like Clickcash has fucked over the industry and scammed 1000's of affiliates is just utter nonsense.

I agree with everything you said. The only thing I would add is that another reason that some accounts were terminated over the years was because clickcash pays $40 for a free credit card join. The problem in the past was that they only had 1 program, Pay Per Free Join w/Credit card. So the people who's traffic signed up but didn't convert into spenders would cause them to lose money since they were paying $40 for people who were spending $0.
ClickCash would notify these affiliates and gave them suggestions on how to try to make their signups convert better. If there was no success, then they were forced to end the relationship. No company is going to continue an affiliate / sponsor relationship if the sponsor is losing money. Nor would an affiliate continue to promote a sponsor if he is losing money or could make more promoting a different program.
Now that ClickCash has revshare and several different types of programs, there is flexibility to switch the program type to revshare for example vs just ending the relationship.
Thanks for posting you experiences and confirming what I have been saying. People have been banned for calling top sponsors a lot less than Doc accusing ClickCash as "scammers" and "scamming 1000's of webmasters", obviously (as it is not true) he was unable to provide proof and is just talking out of his bitter ass.
