Yesturday I posted about what was seemingly the end of Bubblews site. Today it is all over the media.... Yes .... it has gone ! I just wanted to say .....It wasn't my fault ! lol. As many of us on here were on that site we were all too aware of the problems over the past couple of years. I don't really know the ins and outs of it but I do know that a lot of people lost out on cashing in their money as it seemed to close down with no warning. I, myself had only been a member about a year and had cashed out once . I was half way to another but I don't believe I would ever have got to the total any way as there were so many changes. So, that is it, another one bites the dust. Sad in some ways but not totalling surprising. Were you on Bubblews ? have you lost money ?

Yes I lost money from that site but I was fully expecting it, just didn't know when. Our time is better spent here though.

Yes, I was still a member. Have been for a while. I was at about 26 dollars and changed when it shut down. It's a shame, but it was going down hill. I will miss it.

@ivyparkgirl that is true. I was up to 26 as well. It would have been nice to get.

Because I have been to other sites, I could tell that it was not sustainable, and it never seemed to work well or be organized. It was no one's fault who was a writer there. It was more the fault of false promises, and poor management.

Money? My house (posting house) is open for mourners who wish to give their last respect. Maybe it was my fault. i didn't dot my eye once. Could that have done it in? All over the media? huh?

I was at $45 trying to hold on until $50, working my buns off. A lot of good it did me.

I think I was only around $30, maybe less. I'm more pissed off about losing all my content. I would have liked to retrieve the important ones like book reviews and Memories of my Father.

I gave up on Bubblews after they cut the rate to a ridiculous level. I just hope that they do not start something new under a disguised name, and play us out again. If they start a new site, and offer an insane rate, many people will flock there, and they will taste their time and energy to enrich the owner of the site.

Yep, I was in Bubblews and yep, I lost money. But it was money I had let go from so long ago with the changes that was happening. So it's not a big hit on my part. I only came to Bubblews after MyLot had stopped paying. It's cuz most people in MyLot had migrated there. But it seems I'm back here again. And it's a delight that it just so happens that MyLot is back in business again. hehehe~

I only lost $0.51 cents, but I left once the pay rate changed, I decided to put all my effort into YouTube instead.

I had about $39 in my bank, but it had been there for over a year as I quit posting in Bubblews ages ago. So I lost that, but there wasn't enough for a payout anyway so I'm not concerned.

Yes, I lost money. I'd stopped posting a long time ago because I knew I'd never reach $50 at the rates they were paying, but I'd lost money on previous redemptions that they couldn't be bothered to pay despite frequent reminders.

From what I gather a lot of members lost their payout and we know that's not right, but it happened they should really have taken enough time to pay their members.

Yep I was on Bubblews and yep I had 'money' in the bank that has now gone, but nope I haven't lost any money because I never had that money in the first place. ;)

I was there, had fun, made friends, lost money their system said I was owed but it's all experience now. I took the money when the getting was good so maybe it was partly my fault. I don't feel guilty though.

It's gone. A lot of good memories there. That's why it's important to have more than one site to work on. Back ups are necessary.

I was on BB, and thankfully had just recently received a payment, so my bank account was only showing pennies when the site shut down. Despite all the issues that site had, I always received all the payouts I had submitted for, so I guess I was one of the lucky ones. It had a good run, but the site was badly managed.
