About the hosting, you are probably right. But, they just do not have enough people to work with hosting. So far, I only know John and Bitzz, are the people who work for MEC hosting, and they need to host about 200+ sites, that's why they seem to have a lot of problem. But, I am sure it will get better, because John will add another server.
Lol .... that's what i think since the last few weeks, that it should get better soon!
Yes, ya right, it's a problem with the hosting cuz he's hosting so many gptre-programs and i think, the biggest problem is the mail-server, cuz (like it is in the nature of a downline-club) most mec-members are also members of this gptre-programs, so not only that the gptre-program owner sending daily 1000's of mails, but also mec-member recive this 1000's of mails.
John really should hurry to fix that problems, he already lose members daily (you can see it at member counter, not growing but going down and i bet that are not only 'inactive' members or they ARE inactive cuz of all this problems since at least the last 6 weeks!).
Earlier i really loved mec as a very good "get-paid-to-everything"-program, but after the last changes of rules it more and more looks like a "gptre-program-owner-sponsor-club"
Why? well, you now get double points, if you sell anything. That may sound nice in the first moment, but remember: payments to members are calculated from all earned points.
Let's say, we have 2 members, both earned 10.000 points from running the surfbar and one member sold 21,600 banner expressiones for $5. Earlier he got 5,000 points for that. So together this 2 ppl. earned 25,000 points. If the payment i.e. will calculated from $10 mec-earnings, that means, member 1 will get $4 and member 2 gets $6.
With the new rules member 2 will now get for his banner sales 10,000 points, so this 2 ppl. earned together 30,000 points and that means, member 1 only get a payment of $3,33 and member 2 gets $6,66
And now think about, who has the best chances to sell anything from the mec-offers? Right, those ppl. who send mails daily to their own members.
And they don't need to pay extra for their own advertisements, while "normal" members like i have to pay for, when running an eMail-ad.
For the Banner-Exchange you now only earn 10,000 points as long you don't sell (or buy yourself) any banner-exposures.
I only hope, john may read this and think a little bit about this.
How ever, have a great day,
greetz,
