Announcement Quick Forum Update! Payout Update

[fords8]

So I didn't get the updates I wanted done this weekend. Most of the updates were just upgrading add-ons. And add a calendar to the forum.

I have to explain the calendar a bit here. Adding this to the forum will help keep a payout schedule. I am not going to be around for weeks at a time from now on. I will still be able to get on the forum of course. But since I will be on the road, I don't feel comfortable doing payouts on shared/open networks on the road. So payouts will happen when I come home. I will add to the calendar when I plan on doing payments. Everyone can check it and plan for it.

In a nut shell. Payouts could happen once a month, or even 2 times a month like it does now. Maybe once every 3 weeks. My wife and I plan to be out 2 or 3 weeks at a time.

Next you may not see to many Paid Offers. I am not to happy with how long it takes to get offers done. Some of you do them quick. While others not so much. And others not at all.

I have no plans on selling Discussion Bucks. So don't worry about that.

Thanks!

@fords8, thank you very much for this info.

Would this update affect the next payout which is coming up in days time? When would we users be able to access the calendar?

Would this update affect the next payout which is coming up in days time?

Yes. We are leaving today, and will not be back for 2 to 3 weeks. Unless something happens.

When would we users be able to access the calendar?

When I get back, I will do payouts and then do updates/upgrades to the forum. At that time I will be adding the calendar.

Have a safe trip admin @fords8 and wife. Take good care of yourselves. We will miss you. See you around 2 - 3 weeks from now.

Dear admin, @fords8, we understand that you guys have a life too. The challenge now is that the account upgrades that people did would expire by the time the payouts would be done. Don't you think people that have running account upgrades that would expire by the time you are back not get a waiver to get payout without needing an upgrade?

Okay that's understandable, @fords8 which means people can get a payout before on the 19th of june right?
Anyways have a nice trip and stay safe.

I was waiting for the update so that I could launch another paid offer.
I don't know why people were not interested in completing the offers on time despite signing up for it, maybe people are not interested in working outside DB.
Anyways, thanks for your update on payment schedule.

 

[fords8]

Well we are out and running. Just so I make it clear, this is not a vacation for us. We are working to make money. We own a trucking company.

With the very few that do account upgrades, I am not worried to much.

@Nomad , you can dm me about your paid offers. But it won't be put up until I get back.

 

[fords8]

Well, I almost landed up coming back on Tuesday June 2 2025. But I was able to fix the issue I was having. So we stay out until June 13 2025 now. That is if things go well. Payouts will be that weekend. The 14th or 15th. Users will still need account upgrades to cash out with crypto.

Plan to add the calendar and do updates over the June 14/15 weekend.

Thinking about changing account upgrades in some way. Make them a flat rate for a whole year. And not 3 different levels.

Our next trip will take us out around June 16 2025 and bring us back before July 1 2025.

Well have fun all.

 

[SilverLance]

We will be waiting. Thank you for your efforts.

Enjoy your trip. Thank you for the update. We will wait.

@fords8, I think the account upgrade is fine the way they are. I still advocate for a monthly subscription so people can afford it rather than a yearly subscription.

@fords8, which specific day would payout happen? Is it the 14th which is Saturday or the 15th which is Sunday? So we know when to request.

 

[eLdavis]

@Min George according to his first message it's during the weekend, and 14th and 15th is Saturday and sunday, so i think it would be best to request around 13th latest on better still now. Anyways @fords8 would be in a better position to answer though.

What I think is going to happen is the payouts will be done on the 14th in the evening (6pm to 8pm eastern time). I want these done before I start forum addon updates. I am still thinking about the account upgrades. No one upgrades to silver or gold anymore. The big issue is people paying with crypto. I need to take sometime and change the addon that is used for this. Make sure everything is automactically done. If members could use D-Bucks or Paypal to upgrade, that would be great.

Me being home isn't going to be perfect. I will list on the calendar when I plan on being home. But something could happen where I have to come home before hand or even be late coming home. Being late will be a day or two in most cases. I will update the calendar the best I can if and when this happens.

I may run a few Paid Offers for my other forums. Maybe like 3 of them. See how things go with it. The Paid Offer addon is getting an update this weekend. I want to see if it helps me make thing easier on me. It is almost to that point.

Hey @05 Registered , I did make it home. So tonight I will be doing payouts. And start forum backups and updates. So forum will be down for a bit.
