they are closing your account either way, i got the email as well and even though i remember asking my affiliate rep for permission to use my domains and then that rep asking legal and coming back and telling me that i could do it as long as i promoted only kink on those sites, i decided to say fuck it and not bother dealing with a petty company like that
for all of those saying Kink is a great company I always thought the same, and although they are entitled to take or refuse traffic from any domain the thing about screwing the affiliate out of their years of rebills really seems to me like a desperate move to squeeze some more pennies out of the business before possibly selling it? after all this may make them more money in the short run but in the long run those rebills will drop away and the new sales those affiliates were getting to fill them will instead go to the torrents and free sites that dominate the search results for any kink site
so i said fuck it, transferred the domains and decided to cut ties with a company that obviously has no idea what theyre doing with this move...not much of a hit to my bottom line and not a surprise from an industry that is constantly finding ways to screw the affiliates
