   Lol. Haven’t yet had that happen to me, but I do find it to be quite rude to say you’re being “invited” to affiliate/link exchange when she/he is the requester of the affiliation/link exchange.
   I have, however, seen a contest prize be “affiliation/link exchange” but then it went and said, “it’s not guaranteed though because your site MUST abide by my rules still”…then what’s the point of that as a possible prize, no?
   I dunno. That could be the main reason as to why I stopped requesting affiliation/link exchanges now.

   That’s never happened to me either but I’ve seen it on more than several sites saying, “Affiliation closed and/or Link exchange closed, by INVITE only.”

   I think it suffice to just say “Closed.” and end it at that. It’s rather rude.

   Prizes for affiliation! Another thing! Why would you give someone ‘affiliation’ as a prize?

   @Erica: I agree. If you say “Closed” and then happen to have another affiliate/exchange because they’re cool and accepted, I think that’s fine. But I think putting up “INVITE ONLY” is rather rude. Like it’s some sort of elitist thing or something.

   It could be a way to just escape from those unwanted affiliation applications so they won’t have to send rejection letters, but you could ALSO always say that you don’t send out rejection letters so, “if you don’t get an e-mail from me in ___ days/weeks/months/years, you’re rejected.”

   But who knows, maybe they didn’t think it was rude. It doesn’t really seem so rude but I have no problem with it.
