Maintenance Again

I do log into that B site every day. I just take a look around, sometimes I comment on a post or two in support of those still there. But at least half of my attempts are fruitless because the site isn't functioning.
Just now I got got the Blue Screen saying that it's undergoing maintenance. I have no idea what they are doing. I wonder sometimes if it will one day just go down for maintenance and never come back up again. And no one will ever be able to ask why.
You can't ask why because they did away with the emails for the different departments. Now you are supposed to email through Help on the site. But you can't open the site. Hmmm....
I have found it strange that when you do get in and see the status indicators at the bottom, the only one showing trouble is the one for Website. Interestingly, "Payments" is always green for fully functional. I wonder why if their payment system has no glitches, that they haven't made payments?
I wonder how long it will be. I think if I ever get into the site again, I will get busy deleting posts.

I need to make time to delete mine too. I just can't face that job when I feel I could be doing something more constructive.
Maybe the reason that "payments" is always fully functional is because it's used so little that there's no opportunity for anything to go wrong

Why do you keep going there? Are you receiving your payments?

i managed to get on this mornin' to read some folks'd written there. unfortunately, the leavin' comments 'twas quite the task. sometimes jest refreshin' the page a couple times did the trick 'til it got to the point i couldn't e'en sign out :( i've read that folks're havin' troubles deletin' posts (nameless'd put such on somebody's post this morn). she says to tag her in such matters 'n she'll tend to it. dunno if'n that works with elder posts? 'pparently it's jest mr. bear there 's the other young'uns 're off playin' elsewhere these days. most sad indeed...

@crazyhorseladycx I wonder what she's paid as well. She admitted the other day that she's frustrated with the late payments and lack of communication from "brass." I'm worried that their intent is just to "take the money and run."

I'm still there some but it's starting to feel like a mall when the stores start moving out. Kind of lonely.

Bubblews isn't paying again. They are ignoring members. They are focusing on Sweeble app. As they don't pay anyone but keep all the warnings. I suggest member go find another site to write on. I started writing on a blog site where I earn 50 points per post. I cash out once a month.

It has been so long that I requested payment and didn't receive it that I never will. I remember the last time I logged in my payment was still being processed or whatever it was that it said. Pending a few years lol. I wouldn't bother with that site at all if I was you. I think I kept a copy of all the posts I made there for my records so I really have no reason to even ever bother to visit that site again.

@Gina145 Oh I know that but thank you anyway in case I didn't know. I don't intend to publish anything that I wrote there anywhere else. In the future if I do decide to then I will go and delete that post first before posting it elsewhere. I usually write different things on different sites. My reviews I put on personapaper right now. I have to write one tomorrow for bzzagent about BIC Soliel glow razors I got free for them to test out.

@shaggin Keeping copies is good, but if you want to reuse anything you wrote there, then you need to delete it from Bubblews first. The easiest way would be to get your whole account deleted, but from what I've heard Bubblews aren't too helpful in that department either.

This is like living in hope and dying in despair. It is best that one does not get affected by whatever they are doing out there.

I redeemed in January and was paid in February. Many were. Then I redeemed again in June. No payment for me or anyone else I know who redeemed after February. I think they paid people in February to keep everyone there, and writing. They did it to try to save the site. It didn't work. There's no money to pay us. That is my theory.

I just tried going on there before I came here and got the blue screen too. I think I've finally decided to just be done there since I don't really enjoy it with all the struggles of actually using the site. Now to decide what to do about all my posts.

@Rollo1 I figured that I would probably end up quitting that site after I joined here mainly because I don't always have much to say and it would be hard to keep up both sites. I was going to try, but decided not to. I'm working on deleting my posts now.

I try to visit every day but like everyone else keep getting the blue page. Sometimes my comments take three tries to get through. It's discouraging for sure.

They are probably liking to see how much they still have in their coffers. Money that the members are unlikely to ever receive!

Hello there, @Rollo1 ,
There are more posts at B site that are getting absolutely no likes. It's gone down so far and so fast that it makes my head swim. I am glad I found myLot.
Sometimes I think they do the error thing just to shake things up. I'm all shook up. Not like Elvis. :)
