TSU is no more

I am not sure if anyone else has written about this but the social site TSU has closed it doors without warning. I am constantly shocked when sites just close without telling members so that they can retrieve anything that they want to save.
I joined the site a while ago but was never very active as far as I know, I had very little money in my account there.
It is a tough world out there for websites trying to pay a little money to members. We are all very lucky to have found MyLot.

@BelleStarr I suppose that ex Bubblews members are still spread around a little.

A few former Bubblers were over on TSU which is why I went to take a look but it really didn't appeal to me, it was more about photography.

yes ma'am, i can't recall who'd written 'f such though. yepperz, 'tis sad 'n poor business practice, the way many'f these places're run. 'course i'm most certain they don't warn folks not jest so's they can't retrieve their writin', but also to keep that revenue comin' so they can pay their own bills. shameful....
i adore this place, don't fret 'bout the funds. 'tis nice jest to've a place to come'n visit with my friends, many 'f whom i'm quite fond 'f. seems we neglect to talk'n private (emails) which i find quite funny 't times, lol.

It is true, I am a terrible communicator with emails but here we can talk to a bunch of friends all during one visit, I suspect it is my laziness lol

I don't think I ever joined the site. It is really not fair to people when sites do close their doors without warning. Especially if money owed is involved.

@sourabhrock2008 Yes, but many won't broadcast their intention to close the site. Mainly because they want to keep monies owed.
@BelleStarr Too true, so many sites with dishonest admin. People who thought they could get ahead in a game where you have to essentially start off broke.

I have read some post about it in the past few months but never get interested in joining. I think, it is because I am happy already with Mylot that I don't want any other online sites.

@BelleStarr I agree. Do you have other writing sites you are working with at the present?

Yes, I think one of these social sites is plenty to keep us busy.

I never joined TSU. I heard it was too hard to begin with anyway. It's a shame sites just close and not tell anyone.

I never joined the site, but I had it favorited in one of my browsers that I use. I just looked at it today and it had a letter about the site is shutting down.

It's a shame when sites don't give any warning that they are closing. I hope myLot is forever open

I'd not heard about this yet, but anything I put on there was links to writing done elsewhere for the most part.
I found that the interacting there was somewhat one-sided. While writers did fine sharing and visiting with one another, not many non-writers ever paid us any of their time even if we shared or spent time on their pages. I found that especially true for the photographers.

I had the same experience, I think it was much more of a photographers site.
