Hello Everyone.
I was a member a long, long, time ago.
Sort of set my site on auto-pilot and worked on other things.
Good to see a lot of familiar names.
Can't wait to get re-connected.
Currently running a CCBill affiliate site, male/male spanking and punishment.
Have two cats.
Live in Colorado.
Doesn't seem like a long long time ago... but you're certainly welcome back! How have you been? How's business?
Can't complain. Business has actually been steady and growing.Quote:

How have you been?
Yes, I saw your longer post on Gaydemon ... and that really sucks the way they've handled the situation. I'm sure there are a lot of webmasters going WTF after getting that email.
I'm doing OK, have health issues, but that's nothing new. I've pretty much shut down most of my affiliate blogs. Got server hacked a couple years ago and they fucked up every blog I had with enough malware that Google banned my sites. I just wasn't able to recoup the traffic, plus I just didn't feel good enough to really put the effort it would of taken to clean them up and get them active again. It'd be easier to just start new ones.
I do have a peer to peer project in mind, but again, I'll have to see how I'm feeling before I start up something I won't be able to finish. That's never good for type A personalities!
As to your problem, I know Patti mentioned Verotel. I'd suggest checking links HERE as well. Let us know how it goes!
Thanks. I am sorry you had to deal with all that.
Hopefully your new sites will be better in the long run.
I know my site will be better for having to deal with this fiasco. I needed a kick in the ass.
I mean, I was operating for all these years with a backup processor, which I know was stupid.
I have been eyeing Verotel all evening. I sent Epoch an email at 11am today, haven't heard back, so I sort of writing them off at this point. My biggest problem with CCBill at this point is their communication, well, that and the fact that after taking my money for 15 years I just get shut off with no notice. LOL. So having Epoch not respond to a sales inquiry seems off-putting after today.
My only "issue" with Verotel is I have never heard of them.
I am only familiar with Epoch and CCBil.
Have you had any negative experience with Verotel?
No problems here, they always pay if I have money coming my way. They've been around the biz for quite some time. Biggest problem for me is they have really small sites that they process for, and I have to really hump ass to see a check. It's good for off the main drag type of sales, but it's usually hard getting promo material as the owners aren't as active on the forums and don't always see the need to provide sales material.
Actually, your fetish fits Verotel. Depends on their fees etc and how they pay out ... if the terms work for you, etc etc
As to Epoch, the only guy I know of that worked for them is Rand, but I don't know if he still works there.
And I think you meant that you've been running a site withOUT a backup processor.
Also, Sliiing.com has been advertising their affiliate program. Might want to look it over while doing research.
Hey Welcome back! All the best with everything!
