Webmaster:

Because of new credit card processing regulations, Adult Check has been forced to make some changes.

Effective as of November 15, 2003 your sites will be removed from the Adult Check System.

The sites affected by this notice will be removed from the links list on November 10, 2003.

On or about November 16, 2003, all the sites affected by this notice will be deactivated. AC Customers will no longer be able to access the site through the ID authentication process and no new sales will be processed through the apply link.

Final payments will be paid out pursuant to existing accounting policies for any sums due and payable prior to November 16, 2003.

This email is intended to serve as our official notification to you, that as of November 15, 2003, any limited use license to use any Adult Check registered service marks is revoked and all agreements and obligations of Adult Check to you are terminated.

We realize that this announcement may come as a surprise, and it is with regret that we must take the steps outlined above.

We want you to know that these decisions were not made hastily. We believe they are necessary for the continued viability of our business. Everyone at Adult Check has appreciated the opportunity to work with you in the past and we wish you the very best of luck in your future endeavors.

welcome to yesterday

Although I ve seen this on another thread here...the reaction is still the same... OUCH!

:1orglaugh I seen this happing 4 years ago if it's true their closing.

ouch

I just tried to access the webmasters lounge and got the same message.

wow to bad for Adult Check :(

Hahaha, wake the fuck up. You think they want all the AC webmasters freaking out together like WWIII on their board.

LOL, anyone who didn't see the writing on the wall long ago is living in dreamland.

Always be diversified. Always save for rough times when the shit hits the fan. Always stay ahead of the pack finding the next trend and get on it early.

AVS is the future!

Exactly that. Even without the VISA crap the writing has been on the wall for AC for a long time. If you couldn't see it coming, aren't in the top 350 (or better still top100) and had AC as your primary income source then more fool you.

umm.. did I sound worried?

at least AC gave people a lot of notice to remove links, redirect traffic and all... I mean shit, 6 days is a long time...

:1orglaugh :321GFY

I am losing 1K worth of monthly rebills from my few gold sites, it was easy money on the side without lifting a finger. Oh well

I know people that had thousands of little sites with them and I really feel bad for them. What a load of work.

On a bright side Deluxepass is kickin ass and takin names. Honestly Clem is one straight shootin motherfucker. Feel bad for AC :(

But you have to admit they did buck the trend in one area!!

They announced this on a Monday instead of a Friday!:1orglaugh

I wouldn't hold your breath.....all avs sites will be soon gone as well...:2 cents: :2 cents:

I never fucked with AC but did you have to use there server to host the sites? Thats one of the big differences I see with DP. You must host the site on there servers effectively saying the site is theres and all your doing is sending traffic just like all the other sponsors or would you say that's "stretchin it"??

The sad things - are rebills : (

thousands dollars of rebills

old news

Rebills to the webmaster maybe. THEY are still getting them I bet. They are staying open!! They are only dumping the webmasters and going with a new plan using their top 100 webmasters to promote their sites only and new ones made by them and AC I guess.

So, I bet they are keeping all the rebills for themselves!

That's what they are doing, they said so themselves.

That fucking sucks really it was a good steady income from rebills. I'll surely miss the money :(

Somehow I dont think AC is closing. Changing their business model for sure, but closing, no.

this is again another loss for the adult industry, i wonder how many (%) are indulge adultcheck?

who's next?
