lol until I start weeping...

Well, I guess the good part of this is that we have known each other a long, long time, and this is a perfectly fair criticism no doubt.

It would take a divine act from the Creator Almighty to move off NATS for any reason at this point.

Probably helps to provide a bit more history here...

Due to our unfortunate falling out with a certain partner way back in the day we had to move off one platform and when we did that we became absolutely paranoid about what we would use next. Since we had always been more focused on what we do best, content creation, member management, and site maintenance, we really had to learn from the ground up about running an affiliate program and our lack of trust plus our naivete was a lethal combination which was compounded by the learning curve of figuring out what the average webmaster really wanted and liked in a program.

The good news is that, because of this experience, we did create a Patent Pending way for webmasters to be able to easily manage changes to their links. (Don't worry, we want the Patent not for Acacia like attacks, but to defend against those type of attacks).

Regarding referrals, that should be working by the end of today!
