[No earnings for all of January]

Due to little or no earnings your account has been removed.
We will attempt to pay for any last revenue you may have after our next payout date.
Thank you!
*shrug* It's really no major loss for me. I removed them from most of my pages ages ago, as I've earned less then a dollar from them... but their ads were better suited then google on the pages I did have them on.
I do wonder if they will actually give me my sign up bonus, lol...
IMHO, the ban was in bad form, as they gave no advance warning to such changes and did not offer a time frame to increase the popularity of my pages or to offer a chance of getting their ads on more pages so I could increase the traffic for them.
This I guess is the last straw for me for a company that has repeatedly done nothing but perpetuate their bad karma towards me and many of their other publishers.... yeah, yeah, my sites are slow, but still, no warning? No advance notice? and to say good by to me by simply BANNING my account.... that's bad form on every level, as that's certainly no way to say "good bye". As I am a forum owner, I generally reserve the title of BANNED for someone that actually deserved such a title.
Oh well,
