    Exercise for fat affiliates

    All this desk work and hanging around the house is piling on more weight, so I'm about to take a 2 mile round trip walk to the bank.

    New Post icons

    Some of them aren't being used, others are out of date (arbitrage). New ones are needed, like for search engines (generic), social bookmarking sites and coding. The WF exclusive icon is too hard to see against a black b.g.

    My first special delivery

    My cherry got popped today when the Fedex truck rolled around for the first time with an affiliate's payment check - $42.50! :music06: Funny, because it costs them about $15 to send it by truck. I never had the truck come for me before with a check, which felt like the Publisher's...

The majority of the article presented AM as a cash-rich, shady underside of the Internet, holding little value or ethics. Your...
