    Open Source - ARS

    Tev shared this with me - thought I'd put it here too ... and get your thoughts about what's happening with ARS and all the affiliates.

    good letter, I listened in to the interview yesterday and I wasn't impressed either. Essentially it came down to MarcDe saying they could have shut down the program and fucked everyone but they decided to do this instead. The other big bone of contention was the rewards points, Marc saying they are loyalty points and if you are not loyal to ARS at this point then you will lose them. Pretty much a big F-you!

    ARS is a huge webmaster program, they should have more respect for their webmasters who made them successful. I can't believe they have gone ahead and launched a 1/2 ass program with only 10 sites replacing their hundreds of former GIM and BYOT sites. Plus those 10 sites have incomplete members areas and do not even cover off all their former niches. They could have easily informed their BYOT owners about a month ago and had them build a series of CHAMP sites to be prepared for this day. They could have easily created their 10 new sites with a decent members area. They have been hinting at it for quite some time on their board so they knew this change was coming.

    But, of course, with every cloud there is a silver lining. With only one (very poor quality) gay site, my hunkmoney webmaster program has been going like mad in the last few days. Lee, I bet studmoney is also doing well out of this


    cheers,

    Luke
