I quote from an email I just received:

"We regret that the operation of Sticky Cash has not proved cost-effective.
As a result we have decided to close that operation. Thank you for trying to work with us and we are truly sorry that it is not possible to continue.
We recommend you remove our code at your earliest convenience.
All sums owed that are in excess of the minimum payout have been paid.

Admin"

So, it is over!

Damn. That was fast.

I figured something was up when their server was down for the whole of yesterday.

Oh well. Can't win them all.

that's gotta suck for any site with not-so-big traffic...

unless the min payout was pretty low (i never got to the site, was always down when i checked).

Exactly. Since the program only lasted for 3 1/2 months, a large proportion of the program's membership base (myself included) would not have met their minimum payment threshold, which obviously cuts Safe-Audit's losses nicely.

I can't understand why Safe didn't simply change the program to a pay-for-performance model, after investing so much time in developing the system, rather than shuttering in doors indefinitely.
