I don't think I have stated my point of view on the whole issue in this thread yet. And for all practical purposes I think I made a post a few years ago that defended the principal of the "last person who closed the deal should be getting the credit."
All I stated was that I could assure that another member was not cookie stuffing or doing other blackhat techniques. This allegation was being made and it was false. I would defend any member in this forum that was being accused of something publicly that I knew to be false. I disagree with many people on this forum on issues regarding cookies or incentive marketing. It doesn't mean I still don't respect them or can't be friends with them however.
Cookies have been and will always be one of the hottest topics and most controversial topics throughout the entire affiliate industry. The majority of tracking problems all involve cookies.
I am friends with the CEO of FatWallet.com and even he will agree that cookies are a massive issue even outside of gaming. This thread highlights exactly why. Even affiliates disagree on every aspect that has to do with cookies.
This is such a great topic and the reason why I wanted the discussion to simply get back on track. I didn't want to see it continue down the road it was going with personal attacks, accusations, and childish name calling from all sides.
Fuck, if I wanted this drama I would moderate my Mom's monthly Bunco game with all the 50-60 year old women.
