I love April Gold's site! It is one of the few paid to read sites where I have actually reached payout as a FREE MEMBER! HELLO! biggrin.gif
I just do not get all of the bashing--did you not read the terms of service?

There is such a thing as slander and there is such a thing as libel.

There is such a thing as jealousy--which can now be observed in cyberspace and in the real world. wink.gif

That's great! But, what is your complaint???
Tatirog
Are you sure you've posted it in the proper forlder?
It's a COMPLAINT folder wink.gif

And why did you posted it here? This was supposed to be in the praises folder.

I am very glad for the OP.

As everyone else posting, I wonder why a praise thread would be started in a complaints folder.

Great you rached payout.. Have fun waiting for months to actuly get paid!!!
isnake
Oh well...
it's not a slander thread forum either here....
And sometimes people do make mistakes.
But it is good for you all to repeat what others have said.
And likely some mod will move the thread to the correct forum soon anyway

futurejoy,
yes things like that just happen, but there are only a handfull of members that are complaining. Half of the people complaining are not even members of AG.

This thread was started merely to rebut statements made in a closed thread and show support.

Neat trick, rather inappropriate.

Starting an inappropriate thread on the justification that it is felt another thread was inappropriate is, IMO, infantile.

As for slander/libel....truth and opinion are not slander/libel...and not everyone posting has lied, making such blanket statements inaccurate.

On June 4 the officially acknowledged delay in payments was about 80 days. Now, on June 21 the delay is more than 95 days. Seems that 6 months of waiting is a very optimistic forecast.

April told her members that she would do member payments last friday and saturday.
She did tell them so about 5 day's in front.

So that was also the time that people here decided to attack her so she would not have the time to do those payments and doing so they would get more amunition to target her with....

Now that's funny! April could just ignore the attacks and keep her word to her members couldn't she? I mean, she's got enough defenders in here so she really could and should devote her valuable time to keeping her promise and paying her members. rolleyes.gif

I just love fun and helpfulness in this forum. wink.gif It took guts for Isnake to post here in the current climate.

I like aprils too, I redeem for ads and it took at most two days for them to be run.

If someone has an opinion accept it for that, not an excuse to all tell the op what they already know. I would have posted here too, a lot of people seem to frequent this folder wink.gif tongue.gif

IMHO if this supposed class action goes ahead Aprils will probably close and nobody will get paid and everybody will be very happy. ph34r.gif

Hey,

This is the complaints section people.

If you love April or think you will be paid if you say you do, post in the praises and applause section.

This is for complaints about get-paid-to businesses.

Just a reminder.

Free speech?

You mean like having a thread where people discuss the feasibility of filing a lawsuit?

I don't think free speech is allowed if it's unpopular.

I just wanted this thread to be in the proper section so advertisers don't waste their money, and members don't waste their time on April.

Feel free to post in my thread about April "fools" Gold where I saY APRIL WON'T PAY YOU IF YOU POST THERE.

You can't read obviously...haven't you read why this class suit whateverthing was closed? Xena has written why, but some people are haunted by intelligence, but they are always faster, I think wink.gif

And another question? Are you a member?
If not, Aprils member don't need some curious peeps that make wind for them, they can speak on their own wink.gif
westcovinajoe
I read why the thread was closed and it had everthing to do with free speech.

If you don't agree I understand.

Like I said post praises in the proper section.

You can ignore the FUD in this forum.
But there are things you cannot ignore.
For instance a lawsuit.

Imagine that IBM would just ignore the lawsuit that SCO is filing against them over linux.
So April had to take precautions and legal help (lawyer) which costs a lot of time too.

cajun I think that statement above yours belongs in the discussion in general of po's that use not enough time as an excuse laugh.gif And that dang spell of yours got everyone sas'd smile.gif
browneyes122565
I would like to say, all complaining aside, that it saddens me that April's has turned out this way meaning not knowing if you are going to get paid or not when she had a great reputation of paying within her terms.

Another example is Peggy Y, she had a great reputation to of paying within her terms and now you don't know if you are going to get paid or not.

I guess it goes to show you that there is no predicting how some of these sites will turn out in the long run.

Just my thoughts.
leelmj
currently the site is updated with newer terms for payouts.

quote:
Payments will be made within 90-120 days or as funds become available from our advertisers.


maybe a long wait, at least she makes an effort to try to pay her members..
Metiff
I just want to say that if you go and look at the payout list that is pinned in April's forum she did make more payouts today.

smile.gif

bcnathens
Next ToS change: "Payments will be made after 365 days of request or whenever the PO thinks fit. However everyone is going to be paid within 21st century".

What I posted was not.
April Gold is paying members now.
And has also given more information about the payment process.
She would have done it on friday and saturday according to plan, but could not because of a lawsuit being started at that moment.

As for the tasteless remarks some are making here. A pitty.
It is easy to shoot on people that are haing problems or to run with the massess to get someone down. But if you look at what is really happening most of those are just based on not having the right information. In other words, talkign abotu things you have no knowledge of...

Btw, who is saying that time issue is a lie...
No-one knows that.
re900
If current payments will be managed in the same rate as they are now, then the next TOS changes should be made very soon.

By the way, somebody should read messages at their own forum more thoroughly before accusing others of the absence of knowledge. It was confessed by your great WM herself several days before that a problem of money exists.

Which goes to show that very few people read the TOS before joining a program.

It's admitted upfront that it can take up to six months to get paid, not including the time spent earning the minimum. If you join now, expect to see some cash NEXT YEAR.

Why would anyone waste their time participating in this?

I know this. And I know she is working on that and I have seen some good initiatives to work on this matter. But the existence of money problems does not mean that there are or were no time problems. Because likely more people would have been paid already if she would have had the time for it.

But it is also known that she posted that there would be member payments this weekend. And the Legal actions against her were started at that time too so she would not be able to do payments. So she started doing them now. Someone else came back about the time issues posted earlier. That last weekend noone got paid were certainly time issues, otherwise she would not have been able to start doing payments now.

As for the future.
If you do not trust April to get her problems solved than leave.
If you do trust her to get the problems solved than stay and support her.

I have confidence that Aprill will manage to overcome her problems.
So I will stay. If I would not have had confidence in her I would have redeemed for advertisement now and have left after those have run.

And it is not that I will support someone in the forums if I don't believe in them. Not for a simple 100 dollars. I know it is a good amount of money but money will not make me post things I am not standing for myself.

As for the TOS changes.... At the moment she is paying people that asked for redemption a bit more than 90 day's ago. So it is not more than normal to change the TOS to that. I am sure that in the future this time will decrease again. And if not... than not. I see other programs using times of more than half a year and I never see complaints about them for that. I even see that site growing still.
Wily1North
there is and was no lawsuit, no class action, no legal action. just talk. how a few posts took up SO musch of her time is beyond me. did the attorney's consultation take 3 or 4 days to complete? usually it takes less than an hour. and the time vs. money issue? she could have avoided all this just by being honest. you can't blame people for being perturbed. it's bad enough for a po to say they have the money to pay but they just don't have the time, it's even worse to discover they lied.

There's a quote, I can't remember who said it, or it's exact wording, but I'll paraphrase:

Not enough time in the day? Michaelangelo, Bernini, Ghandi, Bhudda, Catherine the Great, FDR, Trudeau, and Churchill all had the same problem.

re900
Somebody should understand that I write at this forum not for their pleasure, but for those who seek information about future problems which they will encounter after joining this program. It is not "complaint", but "alert", so it is valid for this forum.

I do not care about other sites which have the same or even bigger delays in payment because I have no facts about them. There are a lot of people here to report other scam programs.

And it is very strange that some april's defenders, which declare their perfect confidence in this program, still continue to compare aprilgold with the greatest scams of the PTR world. Is it necessary to call a psychologist to understand their subconscious thoughts?
Metiff
As I said before I'll say again. April paid people yesterday, if you check the payout list in the forum it is updated as well as more people added to the list.

Thanks!
