This isn't a dirty little trick, this is the end result of affiliates creating drama where there isn't any.
Larger programs and those using Nats / MPA3 can change those links so the traffic isn't lost. Sometimes programs can't do that and the traffic is indeed lost.

If the program took the time to notify their affiliates that they were going to close one of their sites before it happened, I seriously doubt any affiliate would come on the boards and create any drama. I would guess the reason most complain is because they were not told about it beforehand. Programs using NATS may be able to do that but that does not mean they do.
