Sorry but that?s not how I feel at all, those of us promoting NPC/CU were told week after week that it was a temporary glitch and that we were to be paid very soon - keep your banners up and all that. Even when the stats from CU disappeared, we were being told not to worry. We never once heard anything from meat or AGA saying sorry or anything like that, all we had were promises that payment would be soon. All dissenting threads on NP were quickly deleted. After both programmes disappeared I have emails from AGA telling me that he was only an employee and that he lost money too from the NP owners.
Meat and AGA seemed like nice guys from the little I knew of them from the boards but the way NP blew up nearly took me out of being an affiliate and almost forced me into a "proper" job (NPC was one of the sponsors I was pushing the most at the time), I was just making the move from a part-timer to a full-timer and was left with a very difficult choice to make, do I believe their promises or drop as much as I can quickly, luckily I made the correct decision but if they were honest about not paying people I could have been much quicker off the mark in reorganising my sites.
