Just to be sure you know my feelings...FUCK ARS!

[Carrie]

Since you're trying to reform your image - you probably know by now that knee-jerk pissed-off posts like this aren't gonna help you.
But, if you do end up talking to Becky and getting things worked out, a great big public apology and some crow-eating would help.

I know you watch the boards, when ARS asked the webmasters to fill out a tax form and send/fax it in, it was a big hubub all over the boards. For something like a month if you logged in to look at your stats, you couldn't do *anything* inside the ARS affiliate's area until you had read/downloaded that tax form and sent it in. It took me about 3 minutes to fill out and fax in, within a half hour my account was unlocked and I could access my stats again.
I *do* agree they should've been more aggressive letting webmasters know via email, though. To my knowledge I never got a notice about it in email; although it might've gotten caught up in the spam.

The only thing about ARS that I'm curious about now is that old gallery traffic isn't always being sent to FMAO as promised; quite a few times you get sent to another sponsor's site. No idea if you get credit for that or not.
