Just a public service passing this along. In case you didn't get or read the email they sent out yesterday, here's the text from the message telling us to change the links if we want to get credit:
Greetings, NicheGreen Affiliates!
This is notification of a Maintenance Update to NicheGreen today, May 1st, 2009.
If you are referring webmasters to NicheGreen, you will need to UPDATE your linking code to continue receiving proper credit. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Due to the recent influx of fraudulent webmaster signups, we have chosen to manually review all new incoming webmaster joins to our program in order to help keep the integrity of our program. Accounting for our affiliate program is still handled using CCBILL.
Please update your webmaster referral code as shown below:
http://www.nichegreen.com/ref.php?affid=XXXXXX
(whereas XXXXXX is your CCBill affilliate number.)
Remember, For every webmaster referral, make an additional 10% off of their sales!
Thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding!
Just let us know if you have any questions and we will be happy to assist you!
Thanks for promoting and for your support!
STAY TUNED FOR EXCITING NEWS from NicheGreen in the days to come!

I'm always so

to get these kinds of notices, where the webmaster has to go change all of his links if he wants to continue to get paid.
At least this is only about the webmaster referral links (so far), but if this is any indication of how they 'solve' problems (by making it
our problem instead) I'm not sure they won't ask us to change the rest of the links sometime in the future.
