Another one bites the dust ...

AdsDailyPro and AdRebatesPro are dead.

The admin, Diane Maasland, confirms this in an e-mail update.

I do not pretend to know exactly what led to this unexpected closure of the sites, and what the admin did, did not do or should have done.

I do have a general theory though:
It seems that more and more people are starting to learn how to play. Taking out your seed money with some profit early on is the only way to stay ahead in this business. Once the majority of members start doing this, programs that depend on member support (= member $$$) will die faster and faster.

I did not see this coming and am at a loss in both programs. By more than usual even - I went against my own advice and spent more in stead of less at ADP! At ARP, I did not even have time to get my seed money out, I only got 40% back.

I don't know if Diane plans on doing something for the members who lost. She sounds pretty 'broken' in her update and she will probably leave the business for good.

Too bad - and another lesson learned (again - because I already knew this!) : no matter how promising a program looks, play it as safely as you can!

As the more obvious games die out and are removed from my list, I will once again try to stick with programs that depend (or at least seem to depend!) on more than member support alone.
(I should not have let myself get tempted to join the big games again.)

I woke up to this sad news this morning.

I have learned (the hard way) how to stay ahead in these games but it is very saddening to see the animal-like behavior of some members (and even non-members!) in the forums at this time ......
They are ready to tear up the two wonderful ladies who ran the program, not placing any of the blame with themselves. Forgetting that nobody forced them to spend anything and that they were warned from the start that it was a game with no real outside income to support it. Ignoring how silly it is to pour thousands of dollars into such a game but they did anyway.

When members stop depositing, it is the end of the game. The ladies did not run with the cash - they simply ran out.

That is how these games go when honest admins run them. And they usually end up being called the most vicious names that they do not deserve.

The most disappointing thing to me is, that people who have been around a while are joining in the bashing. They should know better by now.

But unfortunately, some people will never learn. They are not cut out for this business but they refuse to see this and will continue with their unreasonable demands and empty threats.

Makes me think of kids on a playground ...... crying and screaming because they want their marbles back, after losing them to other kids in a game.

Maybe they truly are children posing as adults in the forums, who knows?
