Yes Cat I did say scrap them after we came to the agreement that you would run those two $1 ads for me - no the money for them was not taken out, that was not the issue. After you saying that they would run the next day or two - so I thought no problem dont worry about the old ones that were lost or didnt run.

But now the $1 ads did not run and that pretty much means that out of four ads and 1 ptc only the ptc ran - so I was getting a little tiered of being told that teh ads would run the next day or that night of each of our conversations..

I will make it clear that the $1 ads were not taken out of my funds - not questioning that at all - no ads since I started clicking with you have run in 3 months is it? That is the issue.

Just the same thanks for clearing that up - when is your ETA on relaunch?

Paul

As I said - I have not been able to send any email at all Not even to let members know that couldn't send email. I have posted an update on the redemptions page, as I thought this was the best place to keep people informed.

I'm very sorry about this delay. It will not be much longer. Thanks for reading,

Cat.

Wow, these are great ideas Cat! I can't wait for the relauch!!!:)

Thank you very much, rainlily I'm working as hard as I can to make these happen.

Cat.

What does that mean?

Perhaps you may want to read the entire post before making comments about yelling. The issue with Cat was resolved in here as my conversations with Cat suggest.

Working hard and effectively are two entirely different things and we are still waiting on a "When" these changes will launch. Two weeks ago it was two days and now I am reading tommorow. It is now tommorow and still nothing has changed except for the text link color...

I am not sure how a site can have such trouble with their host as they are a dime a dozen. Perhaps in hindsite it would have been quicker to move the domain to a new host and wait 24 hours for the DNS to resolve, because you do not know that this will happen again, do you?

mvanantwerpen There was no "yelling" as you put it. It was a very clear statement of the issue. If you find offence in a factual statement then I will endevour to make my comments warm and fluffy just for you. I may not acheive the desired result but it will make you feel better....

Hey Paul...

Text links have changed colour?! Not to my knowledge lol

Anyway, the changes we chatted about are not going to be done tomorrow - what you read was that I can send email again tomorrow and redemptions will be back up etc. Just to clear that up

Also, I did not change host because I do not have the money to do that. I'm not ashamed to admit that.

Cat.

PS. I think mvanantwerpen was just trying to say you could be a bit more polite lol... no offence meant.

No more than a 3 second downtime in 6 years....it seems you have the best of luck with that hehe

Well, there are plenty of PTC's and PTS's there, so no-one should be inactive

Just to confirm, redemptions will be back tomorrow (my time - I'm in the UK), so emais will start being sent then as well.

YIPPPPEEE !!! (((( Paul )))

good to see ya

you make some good points about the hosting Paul..always much smarter to just pick up and move it...

seems some of the PO here forget the old saying..."it takes money to make money"

And I can't pluck money out of thin air, hon ....

I hate to say this but really people have NO business opening a business that involves other peoples time, efforts and money unless they have some capitol behind them....sorry but that is true..and that is why we see so much nonsense here..

I am continuously amazed at people who open sites when they dont have a computer *this one guy uses his work computer and asks his members for donations! Or people open a site then ask members for donations to upgrade their scripts?? or some broke vultures will jump in a thread where a failed wm is trying to shift the debt and say "ohhh...give it to me...I am broke but can I pay for the hosting next month">....helllooooo

Someone who doesnt have the money to move a site to a different host....or the money to go out and buy a new computer or get a computer fixed....or use your credit cards....or the money to buy a script....sorry no reason for people that broke to be in a business where they WASTE OTHER PEOPLE'S TIME AND MONEY....

am I saying you need to be a big corporation...like MyPoints?? well no...but....I think that with any business people should have reserves on hand, plan for a rainy day...it is ONLY FAIR....you are involving other people, and abusing their trust
..no one forces people to open these businesses....

people join the sites and follow the rules, they click click click. they promote, and then they go to redeem only to hear the wm whine or various problems..."server problems"....well as paul stated, could have been fixed in 24 hours...but no you are broke...soooo your members lose out....what a pity..

people should really think before they even open these sites or especially take on a debt ridden one....again>>> "it takes money to make money"

Well maybe you should...my first encounter with you was when you posted that you would get back to me "later " that day perhaps via im after I had politely emailed you about advertising....that was before I realized ads only sites dont get much response..

after watching you posting all over the forum and lollygagging around and not hearing from you for several days I posted behind one of your many posts and asked what was up?? It was the end of the month, I had more ads to place and had expected to hear from you...

from YOUR high and mighty stance, you said you felt I was being rude and demanding and you didnt need that...well guess what...I pay paypal cash ahead of time and I pay more than the going % rate LOL....

and then....you lied...you stated that you had "told me you were busy and it could be several days" blah blah blah....no you never told me that, I have posted every post and proved it...maybe you thought you told me that, but what you told me was that you would get back to me later that day, tuesday....and by friday you had not...and then you said you told me that..busy busy....still you want to act the busy superior wm LOL

face facts...a wm who cant afford hosting is NO businessperson....act superior, act frazzled, act busy....but lets be honest here....wm who are broke have NO business wasting people's time....while the server problems droned on from the middle of march till tommorrow....people were waiting for ads to go out...NPA's were tanked...some ads are time sensitive..and hey the shaky way this biz goes some people may have ads waiting for programs that have folded in the past 2 weeks...everyone's time and efforts were wasted...

in fact, I also question how soooo many overworked, swamped, busy busy wm have the time to post nonsense in this forum when they ought to be sending out ads, approaching new clients for biz, taking care of existing clients, or getting a job at McDonalds to pay the darn hosting??? hmmmm
