question for Jim

[fudge]

Interesting story, Ultracash was a great program, and I remember there being a lot more than 3 sponsors at the time. I think I have a disc of ultra content somewhere.
It's nice to know why and how it closed at, all I heard at the time is that he 'got religion'.

I seem to remember that towards the end you went to a webmaster expo and came back with a license to use FM's stats engine. Being as how ultracash had *the best* stats of any sponsor at that time, and I hated cybererotica's midnight updating stats with a passion, I wasn't too thrilled and I think thats when I switched the bulk of my traffic to JoeE's program which paid $45 with the condom bonus. Anyway I digress, I have always wondered why you switched stat engines when yours was so far ahead of everyone elses.

So what was the deal with switching engines
And are you involved with an affiliate program now?

Old, old, old thread - but I bet I can hook you up with the man who wrote the program you are talking about.

We did have the best stats. And Sparky was a big part of that. But, the people that built the program never believed us when we told them how much traffic would be hitting it. And, Sparky can correct me if I am wrong but, Oracle could not handle being on the front end.

We ended up buying CEs stats program from Ron and they were rock solid. Sparky made many enhancements and it worked good.

I forgot...I can't talk about any affiliate program I may or maynot be involved in yet.

That was a very moving story Jim. I'm sorry you and your family had to go threw all that shit. But you got threw it and came out on top. From reading all your posts I gained respect for you for the fact that your a family man. Now I have even more respect for you from reading that story.

Life is not always good to us, we all suffer threw bad times. But to be able to pick yourself up and start again only makes us better people. Which you sure did Jim.....

Oracle couldn't handle the stats for an adult affiliate program?

Yep, as I understand it, oracle was used at the front end. I believe we ended up paying almost $250k for it without the source code.
