Revengebucks.com downtime (RCN), payouts, & Bonuses
 

A day has come that I never thought would happen. We are going to have to roll last periods payout day into next periods payout day on Novemeber 7th. So on Novemeber 7th you will be paid for all commissions earned between October 1st - October 31st. We will also give you double commissions on all new sales from November 1st to Novemeber 15th.

Let me explain why:

The story is over the years we have been with dozens of hosts and finally settled on one with the absolute best tech support we have ever used, RealityCheckNetwork (RCN). They were the best, but due to an exploit RCN got hacked and the hackers used an exploit to simultaneously delete & corrupt all 1000+ server of theirs at the same time on the morning of October 17th. It was one of the biggest hosting company hacks of all time and unfortunately we got our Revengebucks server deleted.

We were back online about 30 hours later after alot of hustling & were 100% functional, tracking stats like nothing ever happened except our backup of the database was 2 weeks old. So we lost 2 weeks of sales, click tracking, and affiliate signups & account changes. Sounds bad, but in reality we had all 8 of our billing companies dump sale & rebill data back to us for those 2 weeks.

EVERY SINGLE SALE & REBILL HAS BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR & CREDITED TO YOU for the 2 weeks of missing data has been recovered and put back into your account with the exception of about 20 sales program wide which one biller has yet to send us the data for, and when they do you will get credit for that as well. The only people that lost any income are people who signed up for brand new accounts between October 2nd and October 17th and we are in the process of tracking them down so we can get them new accounts and put the sales back in.

Now I know as an affiliate myself, when I hear a story like this from a sponsor, I feel bad for them, but at the same time I tell them "Your servers were down for 30 hours and I was sending traffic to dead links? FUCK YOU PAY ME!" and that's what we are going to do, but late with interest.

Any commissions for the period of October 1st - October 15th will be rolled over into this periods payout and you will get a payout for both periods on November 7th.

As a makeup bonus for the downtime & late payment we are going to double your payout for all new sales you send between November 1st and November 15th. Just send us your total for that period before we do the payouts for the period on November 21st, so I can send it to accounting and get an executive override on your owed payout.

Please, if you made any account changes as I know many of you did change payout info from epassporte to something else in the last 2 weeks, you need to do it again. I can do it manually for you as I know it's a pain in the ass through NATS to do it. Just send me your preferred payout type & detail of that payout (Check, wire, paxum, Paypal, or payoneer) and I will manually change the info for you.

Again, we are rolling over this last periods commission into the next, paying out for last period and this period On November 7th, and doubling your commissions on new sales for the period of Nov. 1st to Nov 15th.

If you have a special circumstance and need your last periods commission now, contact me and we can make arrangements.

We are here for the long haul, and something like our servers being deleted can't stop us!

I appreciate all the work & traffic you guys put into our program!

P.S. If anyone from this board is missing their Revengebucks account, please contact me via email immediately so I can fix you up!!

I'm glad things are getting worked out, man. Let me know if you need any help at all from my team. :thumbsup

You're a stand up guy, I wish you all the best Gleem!

You are top notch dude. Keep up the good work.

It's nice to see some people with class still left in the industry. Signing up and will put you up on some sites in the amateur niche.

Very good way to handle what happened with you guys.

Glad to see you guys got back up and running again :)

Gleem very good way to handle the situation. This type of response shows you’re a serious program that is looking to the future and not a cash grab.

Well handled Gleem

You're a great guy, Gleem.

I just signed up for Revenge Bucks.

Sounds like a major headache... best of luck buddy.

I just got that email and was impressed by the way you handled it.

Thanks for the well wishing my friends, I'd get into individual replies here, but I barely have time to do anything now with the multiple server shuffle I'm in the middle of. Plan on moving a bunch of servers from 3 different hosts, playing musical chairs with them and do so with no downtime
(not including the Revengebucks server, that's not moving)

top class act !

very nice gesture buddy. when we both have time lets get some biz up and running with us again ! !

So this means i no longer owe you 25$ ?

of course you still do, I restored all the stats! Where's my $25? :1orglaugh

No idea,sales gone for some reason on your program.

+1 for this man.... :winkwink:

Very classy.

Now that's some serious compensation!

Can you email me your login name, only way something is missing is if your sales were in the 20 missing ones, and I doubt it since it was the 3rd processor at the bottom of my cascade.

I actually haven't made sale since that minus :(

ok, but you said "No idea,sales gone for some reason on your program" implying you had sales and now they have disappeared since you posted in the thread I describe how we lost 2 weeks of data but have since restored the data.

did your sales disappear from your stats, or has your traffic stopped buying my sites?

My traffic stopped buying sites.

ok, happens to the best of us.

I'd hope you try out the new sites we have lined up when they launch... when you do I'll give you $25 :thumbsup

Hey Gleem,

I've tried to log in today and now my account can not be found? :helpme:(

Well i could put fhg's to my main site with proper motivation :)

If I had any rep left to give, I would give it to you.

Double payouts isn't enough?:Oh crap

Well handled.

Nicely done.

Hands down, this is one of the best responses for any disaster recovery from a single sponsor. I've been at this a long time, and have seen plenty of disasters. But to be down for 30 hours and give everyone double payouts for a whole period is going above and beyond.

You have my respect Gleem. As I mentioned on IM the other day, let me know if there is anything I can do to help. It sounds like you are all over this one and have it under control, but I am here if you need me.

Good to hear your backup

Nice to know you've got new sites on the way. Revenge TV rebills over and over.

Take it easy gleem.

Great stuff! Class Act! :pimp

If I had any rep to give, I would give it to you.
but heh ......

Well done Gleem

I can feel the love in hear... feels good...

WTG gleem :thumbsup

best reply to a serious outage and DB failure possible

I don't think we ever had an account, but Corleone is going to set one up and send you over some upsell and exit traffic.

I signed up on the 15th man, do i have to sign up again ?

Wayne

Yes, please email me, I can do it for you if you remember you old username.

Thanks Thurbs :pimp

I love you, Gleem... and it hurts.

I'm Feelin' it!! :winkwink:

ughhh, got like 30 webmasters that lost accounts in the restore I can't get a hold of to re-create their account.

Most of them signed up from GFY when we added payoneer/paxum & free wires.


some of them were big name sites too... I'm going to keep bumping this thread, maybe they will see it. :(

I <3 you Gleem!

E-mailed you back Gleem

Got you all setup, just emailed you the payoneer link. :thumbsup

Kudos for RevengeBuck!
there're not many affilate programs these days that CAN confess a mistake and try to compensate impact the mistake 'd done.

Way to go!
