Chris has just annonuced this on the Affiliate page:
Closure announcement:
Current affiliate system will be closed Mon Dec 15 at midnight (UTC).
Main reason resources claimed by current affiliate system have negative impact on overall service performance, especially in support area but also in payment deadlines.
As discussed with a part of customers, the current affiliate percent will be maxed at 35% until closure.
In case get customers placing orders, make sure they use correct affiliate link when accessing website since no more support is offered for affiliate system (one main reason to stop it).
I am not exactly sure what he meant by "affiliate percent will be maxed at 35% until closure" ?
