im not pissed off, i just thought it was a lame hijack attempt. Also, if you look back at the beginning I soon posted the main page link and said it was fine if people use that link instead if they wanted. the only reason I even posted an affil link to begin with is if you go through the main CC page it will not bring up an ejunkie window where you can put the discount code in...it takes you straight to paypal...so I was unsure of how to put a link that went to the same page any other way. I even contacted the owner of CC and asked him if there was another way and he said to just use the affil link so that it goes to the page for the code. I dont make my living through affil links...so i really could care less...I was simply a bit irked at the straightforward obviousness of trying to do an affil link. had his post included something of value (a new code, different discount, etc etc)...then by all means I would have praised it and been fine with it.
also, tsincaat, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you would also be kinda irked if you went and took the time to contact someone and emailed back and forth and arranged a special discount for a community you are part of and appreciate...never with any affil aspect in mind...then after you work out the details you find out you might could get a little something in return which is exciting...but then someone comes in and trys to take it over...its not that big of a deal...its more of a "respect" thing to me is all, i suppose.
