Not me.
I joined, posted a few articles then gave them up after they were rejected.
The reason is that the article have been published by me elsewhere. Triond is being quite ridiculous.
Even brick and mortar publishers do not require us to relinquish full first global rights to them - which is what Triond is asking.
I am better off selling the articles to magazines - that would get me many times more money for less rights surrendered.

::sigh:: I wish you would have told me "millions were on the way", but I suppose your honesty is to be admired. Anywho, I checked out your profile and am very impressed. I think that it's triond's loss that you decided to leave. :)

Hey,
No disrespect or anything but if you're such a good writer why don't you write something new that hasn't been published elsewhere? I think it's a great idea that you can publish your original work that hasn't been seen before, it's much more exclusive. Heres a link to my personal profile on Triond http://www.triond.com/users/ron82 take a look, I've already got over 400k hits on my work (combined). That comes out to about a couple of hundred bucks a month, not bad.
I've published with all the rest in the past and I don't think that I can go back...

Triond wants first publication rights, but you can still publish the same material on other sites. They prefer that you don't but they admitted to me that I could if I wanted to. I quit after a couple of months because I could see that I wasn't going to get many views. Unless you publish a LOT, or are lucky enough to have an article hit the front page of Digg or Reddit, you're pretty much wasting your time.

My best months are about $5 and my worst about $1, but I havent added anything new there for over a year. I still get paid every month with them though so I'm very happy with the return on my initial time.

Wow, are you serious? Why would Triond pay you for something that has been posted elsewhere? I could copy every single written thing on the internet and they wouldn't know it wasn't your work. AC does this too. I made $356 last month alone, it is very easy. That was writing what would be considered 5 bad articles by AC.
