When you say 'saving a few grand in advertising', are you forgetting how easy it is to track roi on ads targeted to affiliates? Or is that just something you were never able to understand to begin with?

I actually have no idea if MR's business has suffered, I was stating my opinion not a fact. Although I am pretty sure that anyone who has been a long time affiliate of MR is aware of their shady business practices and is not going to stop sending traffic and collecting their check because they were run off GFY.
As for the ROI comment, no need to get snarky. With all the other advertising opportunities available to program owners wanting to reach NEW affiliates I don't believe losing GFY as a one of the options will cause them too much hardship. Especially if you considering the actual amount of business that get's done here in between the threads on poo and politics. There are many companies that aren't advertisers here and they do plenty fine.
Now if AVN cut them off completely, no print ads and no trade show sponsorship deals for Internext and Webmaster Access shows then yes it could very well affect their business.
I could be right, you could be right, chances are it's somewhere on the middle. When it really comes down to it who the fuck really cares.
