You can't use these links with out.php, e.g.:
domain.com/out.php?url=http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=900996-0006&PA=123456&HTML=http://galleries.adele-stevens.com/1/ - this won't work.

Yea but their decoded links are much simpler that that.. This is the above link decoded..

http://hosted.justteensite.com/galle...53/Missing+you

the odd thing is it seems the trailing description means nothing to the url. you can delete it or change it to /missingyou or /missing you or even /go+fuck+yourself. Yet it still sends you to the right gallery.

It's kind of a cool system, so I was just wondering if there was any reason to want to use the base64 encryption? I guess once you know what your ID looks like encrypted it's the same every time so it's no big deal one way or another.

Only thing I could think it maybe it would help stop some of the affiliate ID swapping trojans.. then again they could probably just decode the links.
