29/05/2010 - RogerVille has now ended

Just received this email in the inbox. Well Roger gave it his best shot. I was into my third cycle, but not to be.

Hello AussieLady

It is with mixed emotions that I inform everyone today that RogerVille has to close today. I watched as the deposits declined the past week. Now it has reached its last day online, with only less than $100 deposited today and about the same yesterday and some hundreds the past weeks. The support that RogerVille has received has declined by a huge margin. This is because of the thinking of many that at this stage a program is not worth depositing more into anymore because it has reached 30 days? Well I hope this attitude of depositors stop soon because this is what killed RogerVille. It may be applicable to some sites but supposed to not be on RogerVille.com.

Please be advised that the deposits today are to be refunded fully. And that is all that we can do as you know this is how I handle sites I have when I close them. No refunds are issued because everyone knows what they are getting into and not an investment site. Everything up front and all cards laid in front of you.

You know how serious I am when I manage my sites and yet some still do not play it with me. We had a good site going but the terrible attitude of too old, too late thing killed it. Next time please, when I am the admin, be assured that I will only manage the program properly and so you can continuously support it so we can make a long lasting program.

We just need to eliminate that attitude that kills programs.

I will be online in 8 hours. Depositing has been disabled already. Please spread the news.

Regards,
Roger

29/05/2010 - InvestiHeaven - 2 plans - straight out HYIP game

Straight out of HYIP game world. Decided to give it a shot. Seems a slight problem when I signed up, but on reading a forum thread others had the same problem. Says your username already exists in the database. But give it a minute and check your email you get one with some garbelled stuff and says your a member. Then from home page sign in using what you used as username and password and your in. Worked for me. Says is a licenced script Neversay new version. It is a bit different inside from what I am used to, but managed to find my way around and fund.

Ok, plans. Well 144% after 12 days (of course includes your deposit) or 10% daily for 12 days. (120% total so gives 20% profit but reduces risk by daily cashouts)
With this industry the way it is maybe 10% a day cashout would be the best option. Either way it's a gamble. Remember this is a straight up game. I will be posting payments daily as I chose the daily plan. Good luck :)

28/05/2010 - Nothing lasts forever

To continue on from the other day, well if you have been around for awhile you would have come across nearly every excuse under the sun as why the programs close. Some are quite ingenious some don't even bother. Bam!! doors shut. This is the volatility of this game, but their are factors and speculations of when it might happen many times in the course of a programs lifetime. Some just never get off the ground, either bad management (initial intentions of admin, or inexperience and even script holes) Others simple just run their course. Either outgoing exceeds income or programs external income dries up, plenty of reasons, but factually we the ground member (meaning the average member who is not in the wheeling and dealing that goes on) will never know anything for actual fact. We are fed via cyberspace BS, never knowing whom we are dealing with anyway. Would that make a difference? Nope, same ending. If you were a participating member, it still comes down to you either win or you lose. SIMPLE

Why I consider these all as games? Because I would never expect to make a full time living from this. Certainly some extra dollars can and is made. But it is ridiculous for anyone to believe that financial independence can be achieved from one or even a small hand full of good programs. Notice I said good? I don't join too many programs as there aren't, what I consider too many good ones about. I was a member of some of those big programs that have recently either just disappeared or are putting on a facade that they are doing refunds. They did last long enough for a lone player to make some money, and my gamble in those paid off. Of course I left some dollars with them, but I was more than happy with the return I made. "Refunds" now that is a word that gripes me. Rarely it ever happens, and if it does it is only piecemeal as bait for something else. Of course this is just my opinion, but that's how I read from the outside and I do plenty of reading :)

There are plenty of program admins out there willing to take your money. OK? We've all been there. Here today, gone tomorrow. Picking a safer bet is what I try to do. No one is perfect, but I certainly don't scream the world is ending if I lose. From the moment I send my deposit/upgrade whatever phrase is used, well the money is gone. Given to a total stranger and then I play the game. Each time I get paid, of course I'm happy and why shouldn't I be. I am increasing my chances of having a win, or as some put it reducing my loss.  Same as whether you say a cup if half full or half empty. lol

Okies I have given a broad spectrum of how it all works for me. Yes I take a huge risk, but I am accountable for my actions. I do take longer to realize a profit on my money than most others as I don't have a team or do I offer any services like monitors do. But a total freelancer can make some dollars in this industry, just playing smart with selective choices and going in with a plan. Sticking to it.

26/05/2010 - MANORTRUST STATUS!! GONE, KAPUT, FINISHED, OVER

Just received this member email:

I am sorry to announce we are unable to continue Manor Trust. Not too long ago, $9000 was stolen from our Liberty Reserve Account using a API hack. We were able to protect our account afterwards, but we were never able to catch up after $9000 just vanished from our accounts. Slowly but surely our ability to repay investors got worse. We tried our best to continue. In the end we were not able to.

Thank You,
Timothy Alexander

That is exactly how volitile this game is. No words, just there it is. Fact in cyberspace. Ah well. I am outa pocket on this one. Looked and felt like a good punt, great site but looked liked security wasn't the best. If you gambled responsibly it shouldn't have hurt too much. It's the risk we take.

26/05/2010 - HYIPs vs Surfs (either manual or auto)

Interesting. Really I see no difference in actual money earning ability. Apparently the general move has gone away from "surfs" (surfs being where you had to view a required number of sites each day to earn your daily ROI) Now in the HYIP world (High Yield Investment Program) yeah!! "investment" - Note## never consider your deposit as an "investment".  Because it is NOT. It is an out and out GAMBLE. [Just like placeing a bet on a horse in a horse race. You place your bet and get a ticket from the bookmaker/agent.  If your horse wins, you take that ticket to collect your winnings. You say HYIPs are nothing like that?  In fact the basics are the same.  How the game is played is different. More on that later] Back to a HYIP well you don't have to do anything to gain a return on your gamble.  Depending if it is a daily, weekly or end of term pay, all you have to do is request cashout and fingers, toes and whatever else crossed you get paid.  Sounds pretty treacherous huh.

The purpose of today's post is to see what really is the difference between the two categories as I see it. HYIPs are probably less work for both Admins and players, and of course the less work on servers. These days, well since the higher ROI surf came in like 12DP and even probably back to 4Daily times, where the ROI (oh Rate Of Interest) in surfs increased, well I see very little difference as a player.  Same odds, but it did show more commitment as having to surf the allocated number of sites to earn for the day. So there was always the possibility of a no earning and this would favor the Admin.  I don't know if many remember those old surfing days, bit it took real commitment to surf either 50 or 100 pages, depending on each sites requirements, also we had quite a few sites to surf back then.  Used to take some hours, with frame-breakers and all. lol The 1% per day was worth it, believe me. (sigh - reminiscing the good old days)

Okay, having said that.  Basicly bottom line is no difference between the two.  The only main difference is in the false belief of actually being something real.  All the angles have been tried and coming up with new spiels is quite entertaining.
