Here's my thing...

DeeCash probably acquired hundreds of thousands of dollars in bad debts owed by GayGravy, etc. How are they going to recup at least 3yrs (that I know of) worth of debts?

Thus, what I see them doing is offering a 'settlement' to resolute the payment problems.

Again, what these affiliate programs do not understand which really gets under my skin is your affiliates are your 'marketing agents' for your sites. They are promoting you to send you traffic. Affiliates have to pay for their bandwidth, domains, hosting, time, etc. They have overhead costs as well. If you say you don't your lying. You have time! Your taking time to promote them!

If they don't pay you and don't realize that, why waste your time promoting them? Even if they offer a settlement does that still compensate for at least all your time? We wrote off a lot of bad debts today when we did our taxes and came out ahead.
But yet, I would want the satisfaction of receiving payment from them on the money that's owed to you. The money you deserve.

It's kind of like your between a rock and a hard place. Me personally, I would rather not receive payment, write it off, and have them take my earnings to affiliates who worked harder who deserve beyond a settlement.

And even if someone went back to promoting them as an affiliate, who's to say you won't be paid again?
