I'm happy to read these thoughts from you guys. For us it's never been a question of being able to afford it, but of trust & convenience. Nobody can question the integrity of Ccbill's stats, nor that of a program relying on them. I am also not convinced that any of the big cascading scripts are tamper proof. "Shave" has a fluid definition, and I don't really want to risk being associated with something that might one day reveal itself to be vulnerable.
Finally, we specialize in tiny niches. When someone signs up to our program, they are often experimenting, and don't necessarily want to commit to $100 minimums. Our sites take a special touch to promote and we accept that we're not for everyone.
I worry about some of the newer programs out there that use these scripts. It's far too easy for them to simply disappear with everyone's money, since it's sitting in their bank account rather than a 3rd party's.
