They are not paying anything to anyone because they think all are using scripts and fake accounts to earn money.
See this post About Affiliate program

We have closed affiliate program, because many (we not saying everyone) are using fake sign ups. In this case we have decided to close the program. Do not get me wrong, but it is worth a try to find the solution how to detect fake sign ups rather close it. We would appreciate if some one would give suggestions how to make it property.

I can understand what you are saying but you should mention these things at the details page of refferal program.

Well I'm afraid I have to agree with Casius on this. I don't think they had any intention of letting this happen.
But I think every affiliate program has its targets, and once false clicks and sign ups starts to come in, The company is going to run at loss. For me, I think the services provided here for free may be enough to compensate affiliates.

I will suggest that, the affiliate commission is cut down to a minimal amount. That could discourage those who
are doing those practices.

@samar: thanks friend, and i agree with you

@casius :
i am using wordpress machine with great keyword in my country 'webhosting gratis', and 90% my visitor comes from search engine, you can see my post at this link Web Hosting Gratis Wordpress dan Joomla | Simple Tips-News

my suggestion: use the affiliation script that can perform ip address tracker, cokies and user agent , so you can distinguish between real new member or fake member.
or
you can exchange the affiliate commission for free website hosting user with 'some special Features'
thanks for your reply

@janura your suggestion is good but i dont think there is any script to do that work Casius has to make a custom script which will take more time than checking affilates manualy but if you know any script like that please tell us.

Normaly web hosts use a billing system like WHMCS or iPanel which solves these problems easily but here we use a custom panel so there should be a system to check ip's, bots and fake accounts it will clear a lot of space at server and they will speed up.

@samar:
its just my opinion and i dont have a great knowledge about script or billing system,
because i think all webhosts system can filtered all cheater from signup form script.
hmm, i'm still waiting for the best solution.

Dear Mr Casius,

I think you should make the payment for me now for my contribution.

I've joined the program since the website launched time, maybe there's lot of people cheated but my contribution to the site is sincerely .

If you cannot fully pay us, a part of the payment would make sense
Please pay what we have earned.

Thank you.

Hi... I'm a new member and I just got my first affiliate sign up. Not knowing what the minimum payout was, I came to the forum to get some details and now I'm seeing that they are not paying out. Why allow anyone to sign up for the affiliate program in the first place? I spent a lot of time advertising banners and links just to get that sign up, and time is money. Now I have to spend even more time pulling my ads and removing banners from my site and everywhere else I advertise. Something is wrong here.
