When I said that it might be a good idea to let webmasters promoting the sites know that they were going to be removed, he came back 12 days later & said:

As i said before if you are sending traffic to those codes they will work and we are not planning to dissolve them. As a matter of fact those sites will be redesigned and re-launched at a later time. If anyone has any questions or concerns feel free to contact me art@adultlounge.com or ICQ:282499836 |viking|

So how is anyone to know which is correct?

Personally, I'm sick of guessing at what your program is going to do & I'm sick of swapping out your link codes (3 set of codes in the last year) so I searched for my account number & deleted most (if not all) the links I have to you.

You are obviously not an everyday webmaster, because if you were, you'd know that swapping link codes out & trying to guess if a site is still active or not because you removed it from the admin area without telling anyone are 2 things that really fucking annoy honest & hardworking webmasters.

To solve this problem, I just won't use your program & thus, I have no more concerns about your program's practices.

The codes are still active and we are " not planning on dissolving them "

READ IT CAREFULLY....Nevertheless, we are not in court here to discuss what he said or you said...i am the owner of the program and know exactly what we had planned....so stop the BS and stop whinning...and then you say :

"Personally, I'm sick of guessing at what your program is going to do & I'm sick of swapping out your link codes (3 set of codes in the last year) so I searched for my account number & deleted most (if not all) the links I have to you. " ...you know what, it seems like you are just trying to make our program or us for some reason look bad...what is up with you man? " 3 Sets of Codes " ....how long have you been a business owner? Dont you realize part of growing up means change? If you dont change or upgrade or improve, you stay behind!! Thats why AdultLounge.com is probably the fastest growing program out there....due to the ongoing constant upgrades, changes, add on of new programs or sites. etc...

And " how is everyone going to know which is correct " ...again...from over 5,000 affiliates of ours and none having problems pulling the latest codes from what we have in our webmasters' area area now, they all seem to not be confused and ZERO complaints, so why is it ONLY you bitching? Again, obviously got something else up your sleeve, maybe just trying to make our program look bad? Maybe so!

So i can give a rats ass if you use our program or not cause all you have done is talk shit about our program for measly reasons....so i guess your not the so called "everyday hardworking webmaster"! You keep saying " ...trying to guess if a site is still active or not because you removed it from the admin area... " ..hahaha wow man....AGAIN WE HAVENT DISSOLVED OR REMOVED THE LINKS...THEY STILL EXIST, WE JUST DONT MAKE THEM AVAILABLE FOR NEW MARKETING PLANS BY OUR AFFILIATES. WE JUST UPGRADED TO 4.0 AND NOW HAVE NEW CODES, AND DOESNT MEAN WE DEACTIVED THE OLDS ONES...THIS IS PART OF UPGRADING FROM 3.0 TO 4.0 ....WITH OTHER AFFILIATE PROGRAMS, THERE ARE NIGHTMARES....JUST SIMPLY NOT CONTINUING OLD CODES AND HAVING NEW ONES IS ALL OF A SUDDEN CAUSE HELL IN YOUR WORLD?

Grow up man...get a job, do something.....to me, THIS ALL JUST SMELLS....YOU ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO MAKE A SMALL ISSUE WHICH IS NOT EVEN AN ISSUE OR PROBLEM CAUSE...(THOSE LINKS STILL WORK!!!!!! ) INTO A PROBLEM OR SEEM LIKE WE ARE AN AFFILIATE PROGRAM WITH PROBLEMS...SHAME ON YOU! YOU ONE MAN TEAM...learn to become a little professional and a businessman.

You may have removed your angry avatar, for which I am thankful, but you are still a very angry person. Showing your anger in business is a horrible weakness. Me, I show my anger all of the time. I blame my mother for not holding me enough and my father for holding me too much. The point being, I'm perceiving your anger to be an inappropriate emotional response to being 'called out' on this issue.

You've got to realize that constant changes are a big pain in the ass for your affiliates. Sure, you say that the old codes will still work, but webmasters don't like to have old codes in play. We want to stay current with the program so that we can keep our shit straight and be truly assured that our codes will continue to work and that they are pointing at the correct sites.

I'm fortunate, I don't have the empire that Greenguy has. (Ok, that's not really fortunate.) When a sponsor pulls or changes links, I don't have that many things to change. But I still consider it a major hassle to go and search around through free sites and hubs to find where I may have used those links. I can't imagine what it would be like if I had hundreds of free sites, multiple TGPs, and many, many miscellaneous pages.

So, try to understand our point of view. Every time a program gets a hair up it's and decides to jazz things up, they are creating more aggravation for us. If I wanted aggravation, I'd talk to my kids.

WOW! I cant believe this is still going on.. ok i will try to EXPLAIN AGAIN more clearly, maybe it was my fault with a poor choice of words.

1) AdultLounge is removing about 30+ plus sites from the our network. When i say remove this means you will not be able to get NEW CODES to get the higher payouts for these sites. If you have old codes they will be active and will not be dissolved. Meaning you will get credit from these old codes that you might have out there as long as AdultLounge is in operation.

2) Prior to removing these sites from our network or should i say not making them visible to grab new codes, ALL affiliates were notified 30 days prior. There were total of 3 Letters sent out to all of our affiliate partners along with a couple of newsletters informing them of this move.

3) You say how can we change codes numerous times in less than 10 months? EASY! We are trying to accommodate our webmasters by giving them flexible programs and higher payouts. DON’T YOU WANT TO GET PAID MORE?

4) All this could have been resolved very simple, all you had to do is email me or just him me up on ICQ. I'm sorry i dont come here every day and check post after all i do have an affiliate program to run.

5) I dont know why you have such animosity towards AdultLounge. Is it to create drama to get views? Did i step on your toes? I really would like to know. Its funny how you dont talk about the great conversions you get with our sites & that we pay on time and are always around to answer questions. You are trying to make AdultLounge to look bad for no reason.


Once again if anyone has any questions about AdultLounge, please hit me up on ICQ:282499836 or shoot me an email art@adultlounge.com and I will be more than happy to help.

I think these are legitimate complaints. Again, to me, there really is nothing wrong with changing links as long as the old links work. But, why would you not let the webmasters know. You guys (spam) boards all the time for a whole lot less.

And, this thread has been dead for 3 days. You were the one to keep it going.

yep GG told me to keep quiet, but his goal in life is to make adult lounge look bad

I've searched thru all the newsletters & emails that I've gotten from your program & I looked in your admin area & I do not see where you sent or posted this info.

Like I said before, my biggest problem with the changing of the codes is that Adult Lounge never told anyone they were changing the codes. While I was looking for the newsletter/email about the 34 sites that are being "removed" I also looked for info on the changing of the link codes. I don't see it anywhere in the newsletters you sent nor do I see it in your admin area.

If you don't want people to reply to your posts, then maybe you should not post here.

I would be saying the same thing to any program that did the things you are doing. ANY PROGRAM!

BTW - here's screen caps of the Adult Lounge newsletter archive in the admin - based on #2, one would think there's have been an announcement about the link codes & "removed" sites on or around March 11th
