I noticed that I never really gave FSRevolution a review, even though I have used it for a long time on some of my other incentive websites. I’m not going to spend a lot of time on it, but I’ll just cover the main points of the script.

On the FSRevolution website it states these features for it:

Admin Side

• ADMIN HOME
  View a quick “to do” list: flagged items, pending support tickets, credit requests, account verifications, orders, spam reports, and credit exceptions.
• STATISTICS
  View some stats about how your site is doing. View commission earned for offers, amount of orders shippied, and profit for each site you’re running. See the top ten earning users on your site (in terms of both orders and offer commission). Also see which of your affiliates has the most offer credits and is earning you the most money. You can also see the top ten most credited offers on your site (in terms of number of credits and commission)!
• ADMIN CONTROL
  Manage admins and what they can access as well as what they’re notified of: support ticket replies, order approvals, credit requests, etc.
• MANAGE SITES
  Manage all of your sites from one central location! Create a referral, points-based, cashback site or even import an existing site from another script: IRS, RAFS, or FSRS. You can then define properties such as the site’s title bar, header image, offer requirements, percentage of points received from referrals, and number of orders allowed. Also define what countries your site is open to and what prizes are going to be offered on it.
• MANAGE USERS
  Search for a user a variety of ways: by e-mail, IP, user ID, address, offer completed, and many more!
• CROSSCHECK SYSTEM
  Crosscheck users on your sites with any other site that uses FSR – make sure you’re not being frauded!
• MASS E-MAIL
  E-mail all of your users at once with important messages.
• QUICK USER ACCESS
  A toolbar at the top of every page allows quick access to any user by their ID, e-mail, zip code, or admin notes.
• VIEW/EDIT USER
  Shows global user info, users with matching passwords, last login, IP log (users with matching IP’s), offers completed, notes (left by admin), total amount of prizes received, W9 status, ban from support tickets, and details for each site the user is registered on: status (place on hold, remove from hold), change prize, verification report, referred by, completed offers, offer clicks, issue manual credit, credit requests, referral information, registration IP, logged IP’s, open/closed support tickets, and admin messages. Place a user on You can also manually credit offers or reduce the prize requirements (issuing a credited referral). Also send messages to the users that will appear on their status page. You may also change a user’s referrer, change a user’s prize on an order, or assign a prize offset to reduce the amount of referrals or points a user needs to receive to place an order.
• VERIFICATION REPORT
  Check for fraud when a users submits an order for approval. The user’s password, IP, and address are all matched against existing users to check for duplicates. If there are any matches, that user’s information is displayed as well as what offers they completed. A log of the user’s profile changes is also shown and that information is also checked against all existing users to check for matches.
• MANAGE ORDERS
  Manage any orders for users whose account has been approved – view details of order and change status from here.
• MANAGE AFFILIATES
  Add and Edit affiliates you use for offers. From here you can enter CSV information as well as postback information (instant crediting) so the fields are automatically recognized when offer credits come through. Also offered is the ability to mass add offers through Mass SQL lines (if your affiliate offers it).
• MANAGE OFFERS
  Add and Edit offers for your sites. A grid of checkboxes allow you to add/remove an offer to/from all sites with a single click. You can also edit offer details, including switching to a different affiliate. If this affiliate has been used for the offer previously, the old data for that affiliate will automatically be reloaded for that offer. You can also specify a range for credit time, as well is if there is a money-back guarantee. Also sort and filter offers through a variety of methods: by affiliate, payout, or site.
• OFFER CATEGORIES
  Create categories for your offers to organize them further. Users will be able to display and sort offers by their category on the user side as well. This is useful if you have offers that are only open to certain countries or if you have a couple offers of a certain type (gambling/casino offers, free trial offers, etc.).
• OFFER CREDITING
  List offer credits on your site and export the data you’d like to a CSV file. Manage pending credit requests and process CSV record. Processing a CSV record allows you to choose an affiliate and a CSV file to upload (or a textarea to paste the information into). If the commission from the offer has changed from what it originally was, an admin will be notified so that credit values can be adjusted if desired.
• CREDIT EXCEPTIONS
  If something goes wrong during an offer crediting (through postback or CSV) such as a bad user ID, offer ID, or invalid IP attempt, the attempt is logged and shown. Also, if the commission for an offer is higher or lower than what was expected, this is logged as a credit exception and an admin is notified.
• SUPPORT TICKETS
  View and Reply to support tickets – display filters include all tickets in date range: all, today, yesterday, last 7 days, month to date, last month, year to date, and last year. You can also display only open or closed support tickets, as well as if the last post is by a user or an admin. We also offer canned reponses so you can quickly respond to questions that pop up frequently.
• ORDER RELATED MESSAGES
  Mark support tickets or admin messages as being relevant to an order so that when it comes time to verify a user, this relevant information will be displayed as well.
• GENERAL OPTIONS
  Configure the name of your network, the default terms of service, default privacy policy, support e-mail address, support AIM screenname, support MSN screenname, referral link variable, how long the user’s cookie should last, whether or not to hide completed offers, as well as a maintenance mode for your site.
• STATUS MESSAGES
  Edit the specific messages that are associated with the statuses of orders, credit requests, and hold reasons or even add new customized ones.
• CUSTOMIZABLE E-MAIL MESSAGES
  Customize the e-mail notifications that are sent to both users and admins.

User Side

• GLOBAL REGISTRATION
  Each user has a single login for all of your sites which can easily be extended to any other site in a few clicks. International registrations are also supported!
• PUBLIC OFFERS PAGE
  Before a users register, they may now view a list of offers without having to log in!
• STATUS PAGE
  All of the information you’ll need all in one place: referral status, credited offers, order status, credit requests, messages from the admin, and a scratchpad to save notes about ongoing trades.
• STATUS BAR
  A bar at the top of every page which lets you quickly see your status from all pages: referral status, offer credits, and any new support ticket replies or admin messages you may have.
• PROFILE
  Change your profile information and account preferences here which include auto-notification of: support ticket reply, admin messages, offer credit, referral signup, referral status change, account status change, and order status change.
• OFFERS
  Easily sort and view offers all on one page: display instant, one-day, or all credit times, partial, 1 credit or more, or all credit values (as well as point value), free, money back, or all offer costs. Also sort by offer name, credit time, cost, or date added. Or only view offers in certain categories (Casino Offers, Free Trials, etc.)
• ORDER
  View the status of existing orders or place one if you’ve met the requirements. If you have enough referrals for a prize with lower requirements those prizes will be displayed and you can easily switch to that prize with a single click. If one of your referral’s is placed on hold or has an offer credit removed, your order status will temporarily be set to Denied. If you obtain another referral or the user’s hold is removed, your order will automatically be re-submitted for approval. You may also place multiple orders if the site allows it.
• SUPPORT
  Create support tickets, credit requests and view their status all from one page. You can even close your own ticket if you find you’ve answered your own question.
• CREDIT REQUESTS
  If a credit request’s status is changed to “More Information Needed” the user will be able to edit the same credit request to add more information and resubmit it without having to create another credit request.
• CONSTANT STATUS UPDATES
  All support tickets, credit requests, and orders have status updates that occur at each stage. Find out when an admin has read your support ticket, or your credit request has been sent to the affiliate, or when your order was shipped.
• REFERRAL INFORMATION
  Now you can tell how many offers your referral has completed, not just if they’re green! You will also be able to see if a referral is on hold and for what reason.
• REPORT SPAM
  If a user is annoyingly spamming their referral link, report them to the site and let the admin deal with them.

The Good:

• Very Easy to Use - honestly, after you’ve installed the script and all that good stuff, the script is pretty much self explanatory. You get alerts for support tickets, orders, etc in your dashboard. Once an order has come up it shows you all the information pertaining to the user who ordered and their referrals. FSRevolution has really made it easy for even a hobo to open up an incentive network.
• Automated Postback – Basically everything is almost automated. Once you add the correct affiliate settings and offers you don’t need to manually credit anyone. It just happens on its own which is a BIG relief. Some might think it’s a little difficult for adding offers and affiliates, but I have made that a little easy for you guys by posting FSR Direct Track Postback Setup.
• Fraud Alerts – FSRevolution does a great job implementing all the tools you need to check fraud. It records every IP and also checks for multiple IPs of users throughout the network, multiple credits, multiple information matches, etc.
• Central Admin Panel – If you are a person who likes to create a bunch of websites, well FSRevolution lets you do that and have all the websites under one central admin panel. That means that you don’t need to check into 10 admin panels to get all the tickets and information, it can all be under one.

Those good features give FSRevolution a competitive edge over their competitors. But with all that good, I still want to sometimes strangle FSRevolution and do away with it.

The Bad:

• Starts Lagging Fast – If you have about 500 users, FSRevolution is perfect for you. Now if you have anything over 1000+ users, you’re screwed. FSRevolution cannot take anything more than 500 users, it slows down immensely. Sometimes I had to sit there and press refresh about 10 times for about 30 minutes just to get into a users account information so I can check their account and pay them out. One time I had to have one of my users make another account because I could not get into for days.
• Not very customizable – Look at all the FSRevolution websites, do you notice a similarity? They all look the same. It is very hard to distinguish yourself from your other FSRevolution competition. Not only that, the whole script is encoded so you can’t add any features or make any changes. This is for security purposes so FSRevolution isn’t nulled (basically cracked), but that hasn’t stopped hackers from nulling FSRevolution.

All and all FSRevolution is still a pretty advanced freebie script and I urge everyone to check it out if they are looking for a premade script.
