Shack had been operating for those 2.5 months on an assumed full budget. So halfway through burning into my cushion I am informed that when they do pay me it will only be half of what they owe. In addition to that, UGO insisted on Shack changing hosts in order for any of these payments to go out. The only reason I have stuck with UGO was because I was fairly certain the new funding was coming. If I had dropped UGO then the back money that would be owed to me would all be lost.
Half money is better than no money.
In addition given the web market situation no ad network was looking to pick up a gaming website the size of Shack. I have been in close contact with 2 lawyers and several other UGO affiliates since before this all began. No win situation when you sue a large company that doesnt have money. Now that UGO does have cash in hand though, I know where that cash is going. Shack chews up several T1's worth of bandwidth and churns out millions of hits every day.
