This is Moon Angel. After reading all the "carnage" that occurred on this message board I decided to jump in and defend myself and explain exactly why I decided to deactivate Half Deck's affiliate account with us.
First of all, I told Half Deck it was an Austrian IP that hacked my site, using an account purchased via an Australian IP. I made a slight mistake, it wasn't an Austrian IP, it was actually a Czech IP. The user in question, "stevee" first logged on in 2-11-2006: February 11th 2006 05:32:02 AM|211.26.186.17|stevee|Login Successful Session=3XRryFgd9RwwlPzjMNSyygxGaVZWYl PK|| 211.26.186.17 is indeed an australian IP. However, a few days after his "purchase", this user decided to make hack attempts against my site as follows: February 13th 2006 03:46:08 AM|195.47.32.27|stevee|Illegal Characters in Request (/fruity/new3/ma/anya/../. ./../../../.htaccess)| moonauth.02-14-06:February 13th 2006 03:46:08 AM|195.47.32.27|stevee|Illegal Characters in Request (/fruity/new3/ma/anya/../. ./../../../.htaccess)| moonauth.02-14-06:February 13th 2006 03:46:08 AM|195.47.32.27|stevee|Illegal Characters in Request (/fruity/new3/ma/anya/../. ./../../../.htaccess)| I'm not sure about any of you guys, but I take it as a severe insult when someone is attempting to break into my site. Anyhow, I commonly group the Austrians and Czechs together in one subnet verification pool since they're so close in geographic proximity, my bad. I have been running Moon Angel for over 10 years now (go ahead and do a whois on moonangel.com for the Record creation date ) and my affiliate site for nearly a year now, and rarely in the history of my site have I seen a hack attempt of this magnitude against my members gallery scripting. Since it was the first order that came through with half deck, and very little traffic was exchanged, I decided it would be in our best interest to deactivate his affiliate account to avoid the introduction of any future "hacked" accounts. Anyhow, I think my last message to Half Deck pretty much sums it all up: We reserve the right to terminate partnership at anytime as our policy states. You have not made any money for us nor have we made any money for you, so I think its fair that you just move on to another affiliate. This was a worst-case scenario of an extremely malicious (and rare) hacker, and if your site is somehow attracting these types of individuals, i'd rather not be linked nor partner with your site. Sincerely, Moon Angel |

How can you blame an affiliate for a hacking attempt? If the sale came directly from Google, would you deny Google's traffic? I sense a grand future in republican politics for you, moonbeam.

When I read moonangel's post I had to laugh. Nothing like killing off your affiliate program. Nobody in their right mind will promote you program now. Good luck with it, you will definitely need it.

). The backward timestamps are probably due to our servers being in different time zones.Last night, Ryan wrote me an email saying that he dropped me solely for security reasons -- and that he is willing to reactivate my account. I chose to think it over. This afternoon, he called me up on the phone. He explained his site has a bad history with traffic coming from an affiliate that promoted him using a fake TGP. He also said he regularly flies over to Asia to shoot his models, so he feels a bit protective about his content. He added that his affiliate program has only been up for about a year. Apprently, he freaked out when he received a hack attempt alert and deactivated my account on impulse. He told me that in hindsight, he realizes he made a mistake. He also said he was about to apologize to me before I posted this thread. I did warn him several hours before actually posting, and I emailed him the link after I posted so he has a chance to make his case. His previous emails lead me to think he already made up his mind, and his first post in this thread didn't at all sound apologetic, though at that point I figure he was too annoyed at reading what was being posted to do much else but defend himself. In the end, everyone fucks up. What matters to me is when you fuck up, you admit you fucked up, make amends, and try not to make the same mistake twice. That's how I like to operate. Though it took alot of doing, Ryan has apologized to me and offered to reactivate my account. After thinking it over, I've decided to accept. For the guys who came to my defense in this thread and pumped up the heat in the oven, all I can say is thanks.

I see this thread grew a little...

If you want to use an "IF" logic in your equation, then you should consider an "ELSE" along with your "THEN" decision. Too late for you now, I'm sure Halfdeck would be pissed at being spit at like this, but you sure lost yourself a good affiliate. A little checking around would have been a good idea. Personally I'd take all the traffic he could send me. You really stepped on your foreskin with this one. (we need a smiley for that one) Quote:
