Why do sponsors like DanzaBucks ask us to sign up again?

[Simon]

I just saw an email from them this morning that says (emphasis mine):

Dear existing affiliate.. please pardon our mess while we bring you DanzaBucks 2.0

PLEASE SIGN UP AGAIN in order to keep tracking your traffic correctly.

IF YOUR AN EXISTING AFFILIATE PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING

1. SINGUP FOR A DANZABUCKS 2.0 ACCOUNT HERE

2. CONTACT SUPPORT@DANZABUCKS.COM ASAP WITH YOUR NEW AFFILIATE INFO

3. IN THE MEANTIME CHANGE YOUR LINKS TO THE NEW LINKING CODES AND NEW HOSTED GALLERIES THAT COMES ALONG WITH YOUR DANZABUCKS 2.0 ACCOUNT

So...an existing affiliate has to go sign up for the program all over again and then let them know that they've done that, and then would still have to change all their links (including fhg/hfs) to use new linking codes.

I'm really not sure why sponsors would continue to take careful aim and shoot themselves in the foot like this.

Anyone really going to bother doing this?

Wow Simon,

That seems odd to me as well. If it was me... I could be bothered to pull the old links down but wouldn't be putting up any new ones. :D

Way too much of this |bullshit| happening lately.|banghead|

Hustle cash just sent me an email yesterday saying that old link codes would stop working.

WTF I have nothing better to do then go looking for old link codes. :(

Got the same email as Simon. Found it was easier to just remove them completely.....
