Bubblews isn't quite dead yet!

I did a little experiment last night. I took a break from commenting on MyLot and actually posted a post to Bubblews, the site many of us migrated from. I wanted to see if I'd get maybe one or two likes and about as many comments. I'm used to maybe ten likes and about the same number of comments. I hadn't posted there in a week. To my surprise, I got seven likes and about the same number of comments. So there are some folks who still visit Bubblews and participate there. I think my bank actually went up by two or three cents as well, though I didn't do a systematic "before and after" test. I made five times that much here while I was sleeping last night. If you're a Bubbles refugee, do you still check in over there from time to time? I will probably continue to do so, until the fateful day comes when you can't get to the site at all.

i got there quite oft myself 'n 'm plum tickled when it actually works, lol. 'least with the lull in activity there, i've more time fer coyote huntin' - one'f my favorite past times when insomnia strikes. i aint given up'n the place yet, some'f my treasured flowers're still there 'n fer now, that's 'nough. gorgeous view, by the way! kinda odd to've a cemetery placed there, don't'cha reckon? one'd think if'n heavy rains came all'd be washed 'way.

That cemetery is between two old late 19th Century mining towns. Somehow, it's held up pretty well. Sad to see how many babies they lost in those days.

I check in every few days, read a post or two. I am afraid it is all spinning wheels. The mod just about admitted that they are heavily in debt. I don't think payments will be coming at all, I think they are paying back debts with the money.

Paying back debts make sense. I'd prefer that to throwing parties and traveling the world with my money.

Glad to see you here again. I simply could not get into the site and the site has a rule against using VPN to access it. So Bubblews is quite ridiculous here and rotten for not paying legit posts by members like me.

Yep - I got in earlier today and was able to make a couple comments. That's it. I've become a "peeker" just to see who all is there (I'm always curious if anyone upstairs will post - obviously they have not). I will pop my head in, but most likely I won't post there anymore.

@TheHorse That's what I thought too - that they just want us to leave so they can walk away with the earnings into the night. And I wondered about their reputations too - especially after having that media coverage last year - just why would they want their names tarnished like this? Maybe they truly don't care? Perhaps they only see this only as a teeny impact on their professional lives?

@much2say I wonder what else they have. Sweebie was a failure. They let Bubblews go. Maybe they're actually Martians and this was all a front for an evil plan to take over the world. We watched Mars Attacks the other might. Pretty funny.

I'm mostly a "peeker" too. As I've posted elsewhere, my cynical side thinks they're just hoping that site will "go away," along with all the money they owe, but we'll see. They're young men, and I wouldn't think they'd want their business reputations permanently sullied at this early stage of their lives.

I'm worried that if they totally shut down, it will be harder to "track them down" to collect the money they owe so many.

Just left there, but I will go maybe once a week for awhile, to see what is going on there. But I made only $0.09 in a week there, and over $1.00 here in one day (my first one here).

@ElizabethWallace It probably depends on how much time each has to give here. It took me almost a week or so to make my first dollar, but the second one came much faster. It was taking me a month per dollar over there and that was when I was active.

A dollar in a day? I've never done that! I'm going to have to borrow some of your mojo. But I can make in a day here what I'd make (if they actually do pay) in several weeks at "that other site."

I haven't been there in over a month this time, but every time I do, I'm surprised at the people who are still hanging on. It's kind of strange that a lot of people who were with myLot when it changed, migrated to Bubblews, and now they're migrating back. I should say "we" are migrating back, because I'm following the crowd. :)

I think they're banking on people finding it too difficult to pursue legal action against them to collect. And they may be too "small" for someone like the FBI to go after them. I don't think they intend to pay their members. I hope I'm wrong.

@Raelove For me, receiving or not receiving the $260 they owe me will not change my standard of living one way or another. But I feel for those who are living "closer to the edge" than I am. Some are owed several hundreds of dollars. I think some may be owed over a thousand dollars.
