Vidz.com is shutting down

Just an FYI:

http://webmasters.vidz.com/

I am shocked, shocked I say!

[ArtWilliams]

It should have said every last scene has been downloaded and reuploaded to the tubes. There's nothing left here; move along!

Holy crap!

Closing their affiliate program means not paying the affiliates. They're keeping the site right? Just gonna redo it and maybe open a new affiliate program after they do? Sounds like a nice way to say we're not paying anyone anymore.

Ramster, that's what they are saying... basically that they are going to re-group. Who knows. Companies say that often when faced with similar situations. They owe me a bit over a hundred bucks...no biggie. I sent a message asking if they were gonna pay it. Haven't heard back yet.

The title of this thread should be vidz.com to stop paying affiliates in one week since vidz.com is not shutting down.

Never used them myself, actually never even heard of them.

Exactly right...and they didn't even send an email to let webmasters know, which means the traffic keeps flowing to them. All they did was put up a notice on their website, quoted below:

Our affiliate program is about to be stopped.

Dear Affiliates,

The time has come where we have to close our affiliate program. We are working on a new Vidz version of the site and a new form of affiliation. As a consequence, there will be no more payments from 04/09/2012, and we recommend removing all your links to Vidz.com as soon as possible. We want to thank you for the continued support over the years and we are looking forward to meet you in few months with a new website, a new team, and a new form of affiliation.

Yeah, like any of their existing webmasters would go back to this "new" program.
