Posted by: LuukH

My name is Luuk Hendriks and I'm admin of Compact Surfing and partner of Olivia. We together with Nicholas (the third admin) operate our

network with the name Compact Network Inc.
You can read more about it here : http://www.compactnetwork.com
I decided to come here and post regular updates regarding our network and autosurf.

Some info:
Compact surfing is part of an unique network that provides complex solutions. We are in the process of developing different services which

you all can find very useful and you can benefit from. We hope we can bring some new and fresh ideas in this business based on our research

and our past experience in the area. Relying on common and popular services connected to autosurf business we expect to continue growing,

proving and maintain our success. With our devotion and your trust in our judjment we can accomplish every goal we set.

How Does It Works?
Register your account.
Upgrade to earn. Purchase up to 1000 Ad Units.
Surf 9 websites daily to earn 13%.
Ad unit expires in 9 days when you will have earned total 117%.
Request payment and get paid within two business days.
Your actual profit will be 17% and it's just for 9 days surfing.

We are accepting EMO, E-gold and Paypal. Very soon we will accept also our own payment processor CompactPay and our debit

cards for withdrawals CompactDebitCard.


DUE DILLIGENCE

Compact Network is designed professional and we plan to become a major success and a long-term advertising program. We plan to stay online

for a very long time, and hope to see 3 new websites opened by the end of 2006.

INFRASTRUCTURE:

About the longevity of our program we follow several steps:
1. We are trying to offer you the best solutions and build a big network which can feed all your needs online; debit cards, phone cards,

offshore services (bank accounts, company formations, virtual addresses), search engine, hosting services.

2. Strong servers protection includes: doss protection, ssl, dedicated server with several firewalls.

3. We provide excellent client support. No inquiry is left unanswered for longer than 48 hours. We have available for contact: phone, emails

and ticket center.

4. Our returns are realistic when we compare with what good designed marketing company can generate from internet activities. The pure profit

we pay is 17% every 9 days.

5. Due to the nature of our business we do not disclose our physical location in Liechtenstein. At place where money are involved in the

operations it's good for the both sides to protect the assets. We find this as very important step to the sucess. Anyway we are not hiding

anything from you and you can direct your questions even to our private phone line in Liechtenstein.

WEBSITE SECURITY :

We are using powerful dedicated servers for our internet activities. Our servers are protected from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)

attacks and we protect member accounts using strong encryption via RapidSSL. Account information is kept confidential and ecrypted in our

private office.
ADMIN:

My name is Olivia Simpson and I'm one of the three administrators of Compact Network Inc. At this moment I'm residing in Liechtenstein. I

have been involved in advertising marketing companies for the past 3 years. I saw an incredible opportunity before few months when I found

12dailypro. Their business concept was nothing more than a ponzi scheme because the advertising itself is a powerful instrument for building

websites but not for direct profit stream, anyway this helped me to get the idea how I can build an advertising program which can boost

business activities like these from our network.


We want to make compact autosurf number 1 in the industry!
1. The compact surfing mission is to get popular and boost our network websites via advertising because itself compactsurfing is an

advertising program. When we have good number of members we will start to generate revenue from our websites which are offering quality

services and selling good products.
We will allocate big credit packages and via the power of your attention (the compact surfing members) we will build a big network and well

known websites.
2. The websites will generate profits via sales and services which will be our main revenue. Website developing time-frames:
Within 7 days we will fully finish our website compactheart where you can purchase your internet business corporation IBC online, open

corporate or personal bank account, get your ACH bank account, purchase virtual office or open credit card merchant account for your online

businessneeds.
Within 15 days compactphonecards will go online, the website is under construction at this moment and we are waiting our phone card supplier

to send us the contracts. You will be able to purchase sim cards from each country around the world and buy phones online directly from us.
Within 30-45 days we will open our own payment processor compactpay, this will be external payment processor (not the only one) used in

compactsurfing and you will be able to fund and withdraw your account with various payment methods. We are waiting our programmer to code the

script.
Within two months we will open compactdebitcards. May be you wonder why 2 months? It's because the debit cards supplier cardoneplus need

minimum 8 weeks to create even the smallest card package of 1000 debit cards. We already ordered 5000 debit cards package and hope to get

them around 5-15 May.

New phone line where you can reach compact surfing: +1-213-985-1909

This was posted yesterday on their website....

Dear CS members,

Today, 250 new members registered in our program to browse its features. We would like to extend a warm welcome to all of them, and give our sincere thanks to all of the old members who are still supporting us. Today, you all bought a total of 2500+ ad units, which costs $25k+. We extend our solemn gratitude for your continued patronage; with this money, we can surely expand our branch network to a higher business level.

For those wondering, you can register at our forum and discuss with more than 150 members about what's going on with our business, read program news, and even keep up to date with our bonus offers!

http://www.compactforum.com/

Now for the meat of the news: we are very pleased to announce that starting today, our referral contest will come into full effect. It will be active until we reach 5000 members; however, you should keep in mind that this
opportunity is available to upgraded members only. This contest is a great option for members to earn some extra cash and bring more members to the community.

The prizes are:

Also worth mentioning is that some of our members suggested we add a new payment processor called ebullion. We decided to do some research about using ebullion as our payment processor, and it seems like it could be done.
We've created a poll for members to vote on the idea, so please state your opinion here: http://compactforum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=74

On top of this, we're pleased to announce that our team is expanding. We have 3 new employees: Engedi, Bryce, and Med. Should you need any help, do not hesitate to ask them. They will support you in any way they possibly can. The threesome are forum moderators along with Nicholas.

Finally, we have dedicated two more employees to review and approve/reject your websites on a hourly basis. Unfortunately, yesterday we had a small bug with the website approval script, and some of your websites were erased. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience; it should never happen again. It's been fixed, so all you have to do is re-submit your website.

Best Regards,
Luuk, Nicholas and Olivia

A couple things to note about Compactsurfing....

- They allow only one account registration per IP address. They will, however, allow more than one person to access their accounts from the same computer...in otherwords, if you and another family member wish to register from one computer, you must have seperate IP address, separate email address, and separate payment processor accounts.

- If you would be interested in them offering Ebullion as a payment option, they are currently running a poll on their main forum to see how many would interested....sign up to their forums and cast your vote if you believe this is something you would use in the future.

I got it clarified that you can upgrade as often as you want up to a total of $10,000 in upgrades, and you can withdraw 3 times in any calendar month on any 3 days you choose. Not quite done my upgrade, so tried a test withdrawl, and sure enough, got paid in under 6 hours.

Here are the results of the E-bullion poll:

Yes, I want to use e-bullion for upgrades and cashouts 56% (37 votes)
No, I don't want to use e-bullion 43% (28 votes)

Their current Stats:

"Total CS Members: 2717
Total Ad Units Sold: 26925 ($269,250 )

Their scripts pulled an end of the month/April Fool's joke on them, and Admin has been working on repairs for the past day. Should be fixed soon. If you find your account is in the negative, or if you didn't use all your cashouts for the month and your account tried to do a month-end cash-out on your behalf, you will want to keep tabs over at the support forum for the announcement that the script repairs are complete and accounts are restored to normal.

Classy Lassie,

Thanks for keeping the forum updated. I have been with CS for about a month, have made my 3 successful w/d in March, very little delay; and find the site is very well run.
I had to put in a trouble ticket on a slight issue and received a response very quickly.

I'm looking forward to the future services that are planned.

I love fast payments as well. So far so good



Posted by: pantera

Seem to be moving toward the top ranks of surfers.



Posted by: HYIP.ORG

Paid within 3 hours of cashout request. Check it out.



Posted by: golddust

Paid same day! This is growing to be a favorite. I heard there will be another w/d added after 4/21, so we'll be able to w/d 4x this month. Excellent!

golddust



Posted by: pantera

seems to be passing phoenixsurf as the favorite right now.



Posted by: Classy Lassie

CS has paid me again within hours of request. Loving this program!

Normally, we are allowed to cashout 3 times a month. Don't forget that, for this month only, we are being given 1 extra cashout option on the 21st to make a total of 4 for the month of April. Starting next month, we will be given the option of purchasing one extra cashout a month beyond the standard 3.

At this moment in time members are reporting mostly good things about this program.



Posted by: pantera

Compact will probably be the top paying surfer whether they are smart enough to go private or risk the 12d curse is up to them.



Posted by: Classy Lassie

They are offshore, have their financial license located in Panama (this was phone verified with the Gov offices there by a member of TG). Their servers are offshore....it's just the company providing server protection that is located in the US. Taking all that into account, I don't think they will ever have issues with the US the way 12DP did. That's one of the main reasons why I'm enjoying them so much, lol.

Classy Lassie



Posted by: clifton

I just received another payment. I decided to ride this one to the end



Posted by: Classy Lassie

They have been under a Ddos attack since the middle of the night and the Data Centre is currently working on the problem. Their host has posted several posts at MMG forum in regards to the progress they are making. Their posts on this issue begin here http://www.moneymakergroup.com/inde...5&#entry1900845 and are scattered over the pages that follow.

CS has declared today a surf holiday, so that's all good. This attack will end when it ends, and no amount of worrying is going to make it end faster, lol. We've just got to wait it out.

Classy Lassie



Posted by: golddust

I hate surfing holidays from programs as GOOD as CS!


golddust



Posted by: pantera

there will be no 12d fiasco, that dummy really thought she could run it from north carolina must be insane in the membrane.



Posted by: Classy Lassie

Lol, Pantera Just thought I'd let you all know that the site is back up, we were all credited with yesterday's surf holiday, and you can now surf for the new day.

Classy Lassie



Posted by: clifton

Good news



Posted by: Classy Lassie

I've been seeing alot of people having trouble with the new security page when trying to surf. I just tried surfing, and after the security page, it caused trouble....I set my no-script to "allow" in firefox, and that ended my problems. Logged in and surfed just fine.

Hope that info helps some of the people with this problem.

Classy Lassie

this one is looking good right now. they've paid me a few times and put it all back in....

They don`t believe in keeping all their eggs in just the one basket.



Posted by: golddust

Just a little something for everyone. They make it easy to remember how their surfing plan is structured: 9secs, 9 pages, 9 days = 13%/day. There is a lot of discussion about the debit card CS is preparing to launch, in comparision to what else is available.
I am just happy that even with all the payment products they are attempting to launch, they are keeping egold.

CS going really well for me now. upgraded again yesterday and I plan for a big withdrawal at the weekend......



Posted by: golddust

Me too. Paid w/in 24 hours for last cashout.
If they can do it, I have suspicions about the ones that can't.


golddust



Posted by: Classy Lassie

Here is the newsletter they just sent out......


Dear Compactsurfing members,

We hope that you are all having a wonderful weekend. This is just an update on the direction the Compact Network is taking with some exciting site additions in the near future.

Compactlottery is currently being tested and in the final stages of development. The office location from which the site will be managed is in Costa Rica. Operating lottery websites from Costa Rica is currently an acceptable endeavor that does not require specific licensing from the state. Non citizens are welcome to participate. There are more than 130 internet casinos and sportsbooks in Costa Rica, and the state's attitude towards licensing is one of indifference until any legislation regarding the industry is agreed upon. As long as a company has a business license with the state, which we do, they are welcome to operate such a site. You may refer to the following website for further details: http://www.gamblinglicenses.com/Lic...ntral%20America

The distribution of rewards at this point will remain confidential for now but we assure you that there will be many winners. The lottery will be held every week, beginning at 12 AM EST Monday and ending 12 AM EST Sunday. Ticket sales will thus be open for 7 days, and on Sunday midnight time winning tickets will be drawn and announced. Since the lottery will be held every week, that means more chances for you to win. Tickets will be sold for 5 USD each and a maximum of 100 may be purchased by each member per week. Winners will be paid promptly after they request a cashout. Anyone with an Egold account and valid email address is welcome to join. Compactsurfing members are being notified in advance and we hope that you will spread the word in public forums and to your friends when CS staff officially announce the site's launch when it is ready.

Compactpay is also in development at the moment. CS staff will announce its launch when it is finalized and ready to go. At the present moment, our company is strong financially and the member base for Compactsurfing is growing quickly, with over 11,500 members now having joined. Payouts are as usual being sent within 48 hours of cashout request and we thank you all for your support. We will continue to develop and enhance what our Network offers all of you to make you happy, because it is your support that has led to our success in the past few months since the Network made its public debut.

With best of regards,

Luuk, Olivia, Nicholas, and Staff
Altus Financial Services Inc.

Information from Admin concerning the new Lottery CS has launched.



Quote:
Dear Compactsurfing Members,

Thank you for making Compactlottery’s first week a success. Nearly 800 have joined Compactlottery and we look forward to more of you joining and testing your luck with it. As promised, there were many winners as we hope to set our lottery apart from other lotteries where only a few win the majority of the prizes. As stated in the FAQ, the distribution of rewards is set by myself and the rest of the administration team following agreement as to how we feel prizes should be sent so as to ensure that your chances of winning are high. You can view the first week’s winning ticket numbers by clicking on “Weekly Lucky Numbers” in your Compactlottery Member Control Panels. If you won anything, you will notice the value shown in your Account Balance if you click on “Account Details.” You can request cashout from your Account Balance up to three times per month, and though there is no record of the pending cashout viewable, our database will monitor such requests and we ensure that the
payments will be made within 7 days.

Continue to spread the word about Compactlottery and congratulations to all of you who won. You can participate in this week’s lottery by clicking on “Buy Tickets”, and you can either purchase directly from your Egold Account or from your Account Balance. For example, if your Account Balance is 10 USD, you can purchase 2 tickets by clicking on “Buy Tickets” and then typing in “2” under the box “Pay From Account Cash Balance.”

Expect more news to come later this week regarding the status of Compactpay and other updates about the Network.

Regards,

Luuk, Nicholas, Olivia, and Staff
Altus Financial Services Inc.

I will request a cashout after I surf tomorrow I think. and then I'll compound when I receive it....

this one is looks the best surf site now....



Posted by: golddust

Compactsurfing is right up there with the best! Wired Surf needs to make a strong comeback; lots of people are jumping over to CS. But there are a few other good ones out there yet...


golddust



Posted by: curly

Well, I've jumped on the bandwagon and joined under your link golddust. Let's hope they are as good as I've been reading.


Curly



Posted by: golddust

Thanks curly! I don't think you will be disappointed! Standard AS script for familarity. Be sure to read about the 2 new sites the just launched, in the "News".

Good Luck!

Posted by: golddust

I apologize to all, I had just finished reading about the new programs launched by FastProfitClub, which are very impressive, and I will make a post about those.
As to Compactsurfing- this is also quite a lineup:

COMPACTLOTTERY
COMPACTPHONECARD
COMPACTFORUM
COMPACTPAY
COMPACTHEART
COMPACTCONTACTS
COMPACTDEBITCARDS
COMPACTWEBSPACE
COMPACTSEARCHENGINE

it's good to see they have plenty of income sources. even if some of them are not quite ready yet.....



Posted by: Classy Lassie

It sounds like Compactpay and the Debit card could be up and running by the end of May. Every member is allowed 3 cashouts a month, and that 4th optional cashout they were going to implement for the $100 fee will be delayed now until June due to the programmer's current focus on the Compactpay site.

I also read today that membership has grown to 15,000 now...growth of about 4000 this week alone. The word seems to have gotten around about how good their customer support/service is.



Posted by: golddust

Fast payouts, I was paid for my last cash out in less than 24 hrs.



Posted by: roughneck_82000

i was paid my first cashout in less than 24 hours


The 3 cashouts per month is a very clever way of extending the life of this one

I have upgraded again and i am very happy with Compact Surfing



Cheers

Yes, it does appear that this feature gives the program particular advantage in holding on to the money.

I do think that there are other good AS program to keep spreading the wealth particularly Matrix Daily which uses a similar concept in that you can not cash out unless you have expired upgrades that exceed your available balance. A little confusing at first to figure out how it works, but a good system makes this a good program.
SurfingFrenzy and Xperthits, hold to once a month payouts. Fast Profit Club pays every 14 days...

Posted by: golddust

Just received a 3 figure w/d from Compact surfing in less than 48 hrs. I've learned that they will be adding a 4th w/d per month when the programming is finished for this. Being able to w/d once a week will be awesome.

But then you have another waiting beginning in June.

I am with an every 10 day w/d strategy, and start a new upgrade the day before one expires. I hope they will have the programming done for 4 w/ds in June as projected.

golddust


I use my withdrawals on approx. 10th , 20th and 30th of each month. it works for me so far...



Posted by: golddust

The 10 day strategy I use: 1, 10th, 20th... but the gap from 20 to 30 or 31 is a killer as my upgrades have increased this month.


golddust



Posted by: roughneck_82000

I have just been paid for a cashout within 36 hours

I also am waiting for the 4 payout option coming soon

It will make things a lot easier for me

golddust


I think from June onwards, there will be a 4th cashout request available, but for an extra charge.



Posted by: golddust

I'm afraid that the charge for the extra w/d won't be worth it for most people.



Posted by: clifton

I am comfortable enough with 3 withdrawals. It allows to withdraw once for each upgrade

CS has had problems in the last week with fake email, prompting this alert on the home page:

Did you recieve an email claiming to be from Compactsurfing administration? While we do send out periodic updates via email to keep our members informed, we never send out suspicious emails asking you to verify your account information or send your funds to new payment accounts. If you recieve an email from CS administration, you can verify its authenticity by checking in your Member Control panel, where a list of authentication numbers for all updates sent via email to the memberbase will be posted.

yes, that's true. and oh yeah, I was paid again a few days ago. took less than 30 hours. upgraded again ...



Posted by: forwardone

There are some definite concerns about this one`s future.



Posted by: clifton

Maybe we should even move in another folder, as there haven't been payments recently?



Posted by: forwardone

It could be a `Watch and Wait` I guess eh?



Posted by: clifton

For now yes



Posted by: forwardone

I agree, clifton, it seems like a matter of a short time before we accept the inevitable. I know of several other forums where CS has now been placed in the `Scams/Closed` folder.



Posted by: lazygirl

so, CS has turned out to be a big SCAM. and I doubt we'll ever see any refunds from them. here is the update anyway:
Quote:
Dear Compact Surfing Members,

I hope you will read this update closely, and consider
all that I say here carefully, with the understanding
that the Compact Network will be implementing further
changes in the coming weeks, but we are here to stay
for the long term as I have promised from the
beginning.

As of today, Friday, June 16, 2006, Compact Surfing
upgrades will be disabled. Allow me to clarify our
reasons for doing this, and our plans for the coming
weeks ahead:

1. The price of gold per ounce, as all of you know,
has dropped significantly in the past several weeks.
Because of this, the Egold funds in reserves that I
had to maintain for the operation of CS diminished in
value tremendously on a daily/weekly basis. There has
been a 15 to 20% drop in the value of gold in the past
several weeks, from above $700 an ounce in May to
around $570 as I write this. What this means is
that
most upgrade values that were sent to CS and held
online in order to provide the old trademark "fast
payouts" dropped in $$$ value while waiting to be paid
out. This has been occurring for weeks now. We
persisted, believing there would be a turn around with
the gold markets, that things would average out, but
to date, this has not happened.

We've reevaluated the situation, and have decided now
to stop taking upgrades until such time as the gold
markets stabilize, we hope by mid-summer. We feel
this is best for both the company and our members
financially. Members have faced the same situation CS
has when their payments arrive to their accounts and
drop in value within hours.what took several days to
build in profits has sometimes been diminished within
hours, sitting in members Egold accounts. In
accordance with this decision, the ability to upgrade
to CS accounts will be disabled today.

For those
who do not understand why drastic drops in
Egold might affect the reserves of a program designed
like CS, here's why. The 3 cashout requests per month
combined with the processing of requests every day of
the week, and 48 hour "fast payment" meant we had to
keep a majority of Network funds in reserve in Egold
rather than offline. 48 hours was not long enough to
move funds through exchangers online for payments or
offline for protection of capital, especially on
weekends when banks are closed. This is why, in our
last newsletter, we established the 7-business day
timeframe as being more realistic and manageable for
the future of CS, however, since that last update, we
have considered the situation further.

2. On June 9th, we processed nearly $500,000 USD in
cashout requests. I continued to use the remaining
funds left to pay as many requests as I could, and you can view a screenshot of all
payments sent here:
http://compactsurfing.com/first1.PNG
http://compactsurfing.com/second2.PNG
http://compactsurfing.com/third3.PNG
3660 payments were sent the last 2 days and each single sent was paid.


Moving Forward: We are going to do refunds for
members with pending requests, put the program on hold
and relaunch in the summer, when hopefully the gold
markets have stabilized and by which time I will have had
time to implement Compactpay with features available and
debit cards. All funds in my possession
less operation costs will be used for refunds. In
the coming weeks, the support staff will assist me in
this work. Members in profit will not receive
refunds. Those members not in profit will be returned
a percentage of their initial upgrade purchase
dependant upon the total available for distribution.
Earnings and referral commissions will be
deducted
from your pendings in our calculations. Please be
advised that I am doing this despite the fact that our
terms have always stipulated that upgrade purchases
are non-refundable.

3. All Compactpay members with funds in CP, please rest
assured that your funds are secure. I will announce
next week the procedure for how returns of
whatever you funded into your Compactpay accounts will
be executed. After the funds have been removed from
the system, during the next few weeks, the database
for Compact Pay will be inaccessible to members as my
programmers and I work to implement features which I
have not had the chance to dedicate time to. Please
be patient and I will update further regarding this in
the coming weeks. For those members who have made
recent Bank Wire Fundings, I cannot address those
until next week when the bank is open so please be
patient with this as well.


With that said, the
following actions will be taken in the
coming weeks. The Compact Network will be relaunched at the
end of August/early September and I have decided for now
that the following three sites will be the focus of my
time and resources: Compact Surfing, Compact Lottery,
and Compact Pay

A. Compact Surfing

1. Expect a new layout and design to the site. The site
will offer 14% daily for 9 days on your upgrade
purchases tentatively. Upgrade units will be $10 USD
each and the maximum member balance with active
upgrades will be $10,000 USD. Payout Timeframe:
Upgrades will become pending in your Cashout History
automatically upon expiration. They will be processed
within 7 business days following date of expiration. No
more having to request cashout. This setup is
perfectly clear on when members will be paid. In
addition, I will know exactly what is needed ready in
my online payment processor accounts each week
to
process payouts. As such, I can store the majority of
funds offline accordingly so that we are no longer at
the mercy of gold price fluctuations.

2. Compact forum will still be in place; possibly
changed to vbulletin format as I have received
feedback requesting this from members.

3. More details to be announced when available.

B. Compact Lottery

1. Expect a new layout and design to the site

2. No more purchasing tickets from cash balance; you
will be able to purchase directly from Egold and
tentatively Compactpay as well. Winners will be paid
within 5 business days following announcement of
weekly lucky numbers.

3. Cash prizes will be greater in amount, though the
number of winners will be less than the past track record
to allow for ease of management in distributing payment of
prizes. The amounts for Weekly prizes will be announced on
the site as well. Distribution of rewards still to
be determined
by the administrator.

C. Compact Pay

1. I will work in the coming weeks to develop
relationships with exchangers to bring on board to
offer funding/withdrawal options for Compact Pay that they
will handle individually and efficiently.

3. I welcome any member suggestions with regards to
implementing debit cards. Compact Debit Cards are
still planned, but due to the current situation, and
recent comments made by members regarding their wishes
for certain cards, I have cancelled our previous order
for cards. For those of you who prefer Cardoneplus
over Virtual Money, and vice versa, please contact
Nvus with your reasoning and he will forward me
details and I will make a final decision in the coming
weeks: cn_nvus@yahoo.com

4. The Shopping
Cart Interface will be made available
and upgrades/cashouts through CS via CompactPay will be
available as well to coincide with relaunch of CS.


Expect further announcements from me in the coming
days. The Compact Network is here to stay and we are
not going anywhere, I assure you all. After 3 months
of hard work and dedication I will not give up and I
ask that you do not give up on me now either. We have
faced obstacles beyond our control in the past several
weeks, but the above plan of action will allow us to
return, stronger than ever. Thank you all for your
continued support.

Sincerely Yours,

By this time, it is clear that CS has stopped upgrades, and will only be refunding those not in profit. The "Notice" posted by lazygirl seems to have shocked most everyone, but when they started to make changes in their payout timeframe, once a big PLUS for the program, the red flag was waving. By then, too late for most people to get their funds out. (Given the new 7 "business day" rule). There seems to be a great deal of criticism over excuses based on the fluctuating cost of gold, the other side of the story is that CS must have done 'pretty well' when the price of gold was at its peak, and it was a no brainer to see that a correction was coming.
The effective date of the NOTICE - 06/16/06 - yet CS still took upgrades from members through Sunday - 06/18/06. The admin have indicated that the "upgrade" script was to have been disabled. Right. Other people have reported receiving full pending payouts over the weekend; pretty peculiar since CS also recently indicated they would not be doing payouts on the weekend.
The obvious speculation, was CS piggybacking WS? I would be wary of any AS program in the coming weeks due to the probability of piggybacking on CS and WS.
It ain't pretty. Wonder after all the refunds are finished, how many people will rejoin CS when they relaunch IF the price of gold stabilizes?

Moving this thread, and changing my SIG, again...

golddust

well, I certainly won't join them if they decide to relaunch but I seriously doubt it will happen. there are a lot of angry people over at MMG and at the CS forum. looks like the fluctuating proce of gold was just an excure to scam us....

I'm not too hopeful of being refunded either....

I'd be very surprised if they relaunched too.
