Yes, I am too. My earning there have been lost since the owner of that website sell their ownership to other. And the new owner convert the website to other form of social networking thats why all member there have been lost their earning and after that I don't know what happen to that site.

I used to be a member of Dormcheck too, and I was paid. In most cases, these webmasters start their site with best intentions. They underestimate how nasty many site visitors are. Let's not forget that there was a rule that you're only allowed one account, but many chose to break that rule and have more than one account (so they would profit from being their own referral).
Dormcheck also had a handful of horrible moderators who didn't allow people to share referral links but they themselves were allowed to post such links.
What I heard is that ultimately, the webmaster owed too many people so he started banning non English-speaking members. Then almost nobody wanted to go back. Eventually he sold the site (or maybe that's just what he wanted everyone else to believe).

it was unable to pay its members so it had to close. at first they were only paying US members after they decided not to pay members outside the US, but then they decided after a while that they wont be paying anyone anymore coz they are having money problems. then they re-opned a new site but i dunno what happened since then. i was a member of dormcheck before. i never got paid. im a non-US member. the people from outside the US were pissed when they learned that dormcheck wasnt gonna pay them. i didnt spend alot of time there anyway,so its cool with me.
