Looks like WEGCASH stiffed us...
 
Four Paychecks were still owed when they "closed shop"

So far, two should have been here already. Not a trace.

They had always paid out like clockwork, so I assumed they would honor the stats, and kept my links up til the last day.

Turns out they must have decided to not send out any checks after the last day 5/21..

So in total, it will be 4 pay periods they didnt bother to pay out on.

Anybody receive a check after the 5/17 one?

Sad, but no one is going to get paid. If they are going under, they are going to do whatever they can to save every last dollar possible. At the end of the day they don't give two shits about you because they don't need you anymore.

Sorry, but count that money as gone :2 cents:

whorehole 06-07-2010 11:42 PM

Yup- seems so.

Lesson is... when a program announces its closing, get those links switched out yesterday..

Theyve already redirected their webmasters forum to a frikkin tube site..

I loved the WEG ads featuring Gabe as the Tube/Michelin Man. Also, the flash ad of Gabe breaking a sweat being chased.

Agent 488 06-08-2010 03:45 AM

a broke company unable to pay? who could have seen that coming?

Brujah 06-08-2010 04:26 AM

WEG is top-notch, straight-up people. They'll do right by you.

Agent 488 06-08-2010 04:33 AM

this thread needs an affiliate rep clown to reassure the masses.

woj 06-08-2010 07:52 AM

I wouldn't count on getting paid :2 cents:

If they don't plan on using affiliates again, I doubt anyone will get paid.

joker78 06-08-2010 04:18 PM

seems so but hoping

There will be more. Porn is consolidating. The majors have finally shot themselves in the foot. They can't sustain the volume so they cut and run. Porn is going to get lean and mean again. The big players are eating their young. If you live by affiliate sales, you might want to be re-evaluating your portfolio.

As I said before, glad I decided not to promote them a few months ago when their affiliate rep decided to be a complete and utter douche.

I remember seeing their join4free program several years back and bought signup4free domain. Never did anything with it though, anyone want it ?

WEG and a couple others who shut down most recently were a victim of new visa regs with cross sales.

So much for honesty, integrity, and loyalty. I am sure some of their affiliates have been promoting them for years and this is the way they thank them? a big fuck you, we are keeping your last couple checks because we don't need you anymore?

Karma is all I have to say. Those people who made that decision will not only fail here with WEG, but they will fail in life with business practices and a mentality like that.

Fuck them. If any of the principles of the company pop back up with other programs or trying to work with other companies they should be black listed. There is no reason they shouldn't pay out for the money they collected already.

whorehole 06-08-2010 09:15 PM

Well hopefully, if they do indeed stiff everyone, word will get out about any and all future projects they start and noone will touch it.

Really, at this point- they might as well go back to school and start planning for another career..

They gave us like 4 days notice...and payouts have a 3 week lag

pocketkangaroo 06-09-2010 01:07 AM

Considering what these guys were doing, this is not a surprise. You play with the snake, you're going to get bitten.

Agent 488 06-09-2010 03:55 AM

redtube.eu and maxporn are their sites.

RadicalSights 06-09-2010 04:40 AM

There's tons of money in Porn

Sid70 06-09-2010 04:49 AM

my accounts receivable grew up to about 5k with non paying design customers, and some of them used my services for years. Motherfucking jungle times.

whorehole 06-09-2010 08:46 PM

Still no checks.

Just about past due for weekly check #3..

If anybody gets a check, please post here :)

payment not received here as well... i am seriously considering buying content and selling porn myself instead of relying on networks.

Or opening a tube site. Redirect the traffic to free porn, monetize with dating ads and other shit. Seems to be working for other people.

EliteWebmaster 06-11-2010 01:25 AM

Which sites did they run?

Its such a pain in the ass to run and I don't see how you can make a decent return selling to freeloaders
