Paying people who sent you the sale is not very hard, the money is in your account because they sent you the sale, give them their half when cheque time comes. Fucking handwrite them if you have to, personally paypal them, paxum, wire, etc - Do something.

I never get tired of seeing the "contact us about your payment" - how about you contact them and go out of your way considering you screwed up and are late. You know exactly who hasn't been paid. Send out a mass email if its everybody.

Its 2012, its not like these programs have thousands of active affiliates.
To be fair to some, no one in particular, and as I suffered a similar problem when Eva was in hospital. For small companies it's sometimes left to one or at best two people to deal with this. And sometimes they have so much to do.

Still it should be a matter of running through the stats and making payments.
