Is Bubblews Dying a Slow Death?

I have only been on Bubblews occasionally this year. Recently, I went on the site after having been gone for five months. I wondered if they were even still around. Turns out that they do still have some very loyal members, but the number of posters is really dwindling. You can tell by going to the home page and seeing the time stamp on the posts. There are long lag times between posts. When I was there earlier in the week, he last post on the home page was stamped at 8 hours! I remember when the last post was at 5 minutes. Those posts sitting there for hours did not have that many likes and comments either. Is Bubblews dying? How much longer do you think they will be around? PostsByDalane

Funny you should mention it because I was visiting whois(dot)com today to look up another site and out of curiosity I looked up Bubblews while I was there. This is a line from their registry details: Expiration Date: 22-jul-2016. I'm not sure whether it means anything, but it's possible that they're going to drag things on until then. Of course it's also possible that they plan to renew their registration and keep the site going. Time will tell.

oh, interesting. They have to be making money or else the would have pulled the plug by now, but it sure is slow over there.

Is that an expiration date? That would not have to mean they will be in biz that long.

@JustEmm No, it doesn't mean they have to stay in business that long, nor that they don't plan to renew the registration. It just seems that they might be trying to get as much out of it as they can before the registration expires, and that they'll quit when July comes around.

I do not even want to guess on that one. It seems like it has departed and left a hollow shell.

I am feeling sad after reading this, I don't wish that bubblews will vanish, it has given jobs for many members and I am the one among them, they paid money to many people, if they got some problem people are saying that they are scam, hmmm i pray god to come back again.

It depends which homepage you look at, you probably are only looking at your followers not everyone, you have to move the cursor over and reenter to see that.

@dodoazo If the pay rate improved greatly I wold participate more but I would always be suspicious if I would ever get paid. They have lost the trust of most of their members.

I stopped going there after what they did a wile back to all of their users! They were so wrong and not paying some users and it just turned all wrong and then it just takes so so long to make even a penny anymore I stopped and quit! This is a muc better place.Hope you are having a good day.

It was around this time last year that they made that big terrible announcement. I'll never forget the firestorm from members.
