  1. Well, like most situations, its what you make of it. I got my flag. But yes, that's correct, you can't use Paypal on the market place.
  2. Yes, there is no option to buy flags with cash, which is much easier for me than collecting zubees for 2 or 3 weeks to get what I want. That's the current situation. Uncertainty had nothing to do with it
  3. Route 66 Traffic Exchange and Bitcoin Blizzard are two that I know of that supposedly pay in bitcoin. Not sure if they're in line with what you have in mind though - I guess you'll know when you see them
  4. Thank you Monika, Happy Thanksgiving to you
  5. Hi Allen I was always trading for cash, almost weekly. I'm like that. I had hardly any balance when ZZ lost paypal. But I have one active power pack, and instead of getting tokens as part of my package, and since tokens are no longer in use, I get a whack of zubees. So this amount is saved up from that, and what I've collected. Normally, on the occasions when I can afford a flag, which isn't as often as I'd like, I prefer to use cash and claim the bonus for the purcash (supporters award)
  6. Lol, yes, I bought a blue flag - 4,5 million zubees back into the system
  7. I am This weekend I will throw all my saved zubees back into the system
  8. This comes from owner Brenton Happy Thanksgiving from Trade Social Exchange 7484-5321-1496-3172 Claim Code = 2000 coins requirement 25 exchanges. Happy Thanksgiving, Brenton
  9. Latest Update from Zubee Talk. Its easiest just to copy/paste Jame's post for you: I want to apologize for the trouble I have caused with the redoing of my site. I thought it was necessary at the time, and have found new ways to deal with folks trying to scam ME. I am NOT a scammer, contrary to what gossipers have said about me. I am trying to make this work for ALL of my members, past and present. It took me awhile but I have restored MOST old accounts. Not ALL accounts have been restored yet, but MOST have been. If you had a newer account, it showed up in the system as 1 IP address having 2 accounts. Therefore, I took your current stats and put them in your old account, and then deleted your newer account. If you need to know your login information, just email me back and I will help you with that. I now have recovered old account stats, so, getting it right for you will only be a matter of having the time to do it. The site will be getting some awesome plugins later this week and earlier next week like Team Surfing, Surf Bonuses, and MUCH MORE! The zubees are on the site to stay, as well as Emerald Hunter and Treasure Hunter. Also, the Surf Party Dancer will become a regular thing at StellarHits in the very near future, and there will be a set of 5 ClickTrafficProfit badges added to the site as soon as possible. Once again, I ask for your forgiveness and for a second chance to show that I am NOT a scammer, and have NEVER had any intentions of taking a dime from anyone. I VERY MUCH dislike scammers, and that is the MAIN reason I got upset and did what I did to the site. NOW, I have every intention of taking ANY scammer I find on my site and exposing them to the whole Traffic Exchange world, instead of making my members suffer. Many have already returned, and I have rewarded them generously. Give me a chance to do the same for you. If for some reason you just don't want to come back, let me know that as well so I can PERMANENTLY delete your account. Thanks, and Happy Hunting :-) James Colbert Owner/Admin StellarHits.com
  10. I love this answer This is what I will keep in mind when I need motivation, thank you so much
  11. Somewhere in the last few hours, both active threads were deleted by admin. I missed the last part, but will report back here if there is anything worth knowing. In a way its unfortunate because many people won't see his ugliness and erratic behaviour for themselves. Thank you so very much to you Tommie and Darren, and the MC Forum. Without you guys, it would have been much harder to get everyone informed.
  12. Same as he posted in Zubee Talk, and then some members took him on. He's got 10 days or so left of zubee coins paid up, and then? Somewhere before that time he will decide to order again or not. He has no active subscription
  13. He posted to Zubee Talk today, a list of upgrades, including a yearly one, that will give all 3 coins at login. And then, as far as it looks to me, he admitted that he doesn't have an active subscription. "PS...I have NO ZZ subscription...Why would you think I DO?"
  14. You're awesome for sharing your valuable advice Very helpful, thank you
  15. Thank you everyone for reading and for your comments. The man has "issues" that definitely seem to affect his ability to deal with stress and cause him serious problems with normal interaction with other people. No one in their right mind self destructs like that. Other members who were affected haven't even tried to get their money back, or join again. It was just a really horrible experience that they want to put behind them. the few bits of text that I showed you here, are nothing compared to some other. Anyway, he will fail and probably go away after another outburst somewhere. I just hope he doesn't hurt anyone else's feelings, though anyone who spent money since can say goodbye to it. What I struggle with, is the fact that I let this guy promote his site to our team, when other honest and hard working owners really could have used and would have deserved the support so much more. I should have kept him away. But I learned my lesson. Monika, seeing a guy like that operate also makes those of us who know you and other good owners, appreciate you even more. Of that I'm pretty sure. Thanks again everyone Take care
  16. I see that James has posted to the Zubee Zone main forum in an attempt to excuse his behaviour and encourage members to spend money with him again. I will not try to take him on there, in a forum that is unmoderated for the most part. I hope though, that anyone who is reading this thread in the MC forum and knows people who might join there, can pass on this info. These responses were to one of our team, and they are posted with her permission (I have removed her name). If this is not in order, then please go ahead and remove according to what is acceptable here in the MC Forum (thanks Tommie) Nov 11th, 7:35 PM This is the response I received from him last night through Paypal "Hello ******, Late November the 5th, I realized my site was being scammed and had to reset the site. All site data including the user accounts is GONE. I wanted to tell everyone what had happened, but the only way I could contact anyone was from the CBBC II Zubee Zone which the leader Clare banned me from. That cut my ties to 95% of my members. If you know her or are apart of her team, tell everyone that the site has gone nowhere and is still up. However, there is no more free zubees...They cost $125 a month to keep, and I cannot pay for you or anyone else to have fun on my site. My disabled veteran Marine monthly check does not afford me that opportunity. Resetting the site did get rid of the multiple scammers I had operating on my site and THEY will not be repaid. And even though if you read my Terms of Service there is a NO REFUND POLICY for ANY and ALL purchases made on my site, just like any other TE out there, I will TRY to make this right to the ones I owe. Right now, I don't even have $5 to buy groceries with and I do not get my Veterans check until the end of this month. If you give me a chance to repay you, I will. However, if PayPal debits my account because of this, I will close my Paypal account and stand by my No Refund Policy for everyone else involved. I will work with you if you work with me, but StellarHits.com is NOT going anywhere, with OR without Paypal. Thank you. - MyWorldofProducts.com, Thursday, November 10, 2016 at 7:25:53 PM Seller P.S. ALL user data was lost, even the account data. You CAN sign up again so we can communicate that way, but you will need to either use a different email address or tell me when you sign up because it won't send you a confirmation email if you use the same email address again. In that situation, I would need to activate your new account manually. You do not need to make any new purchases. That would just be a good way for us to get this straightened out..." Following that, there was an email exchange in which 2 of the 3 emails sent to him were just too bad to repeat here or anywhere. This was yesterday. Here is one of them and her reply (please note - she did not escalate it to a claim, he did) "I told paypal that you did get some use out of your $47 and that you KNOW websites like mine do NOT issue refunds. Read my Terms of Service and you will see I DON'T give refunds either. I thought if we could come to an agreement we could BOTH accept, this would be resolved quite simply. However, since your $47 claim has put my PayPal account in the negative, I couldn't pay you if I wanted to. You see, in the last 7 days, I have made $4.99 on that worthless site. Think it will hurt me for PayPal to limit my account? Ha, ha, ha, it feels like it is ALREADY limited, lol.....I will be waiting for your name or email or IP address to show up on my site so I can block you. Go try to rip off someone with some money....This disabled veteran is broke." And her response back: "1 - I got less than 24 hours at your site before you trashed the database. A lifetime upgrade is longer than a day. 2 - I have not received any refund from paypal, nor did I escalate anything. 3 - your status as a disabled veteran is a shame, but has no bearings on a business transaction. I have no intention of ripping anyone off. It was YOU who ripped ME off. I bought that in good faith to try to support you and your site. I will not make the mistake of doing that again. And I WILL make sure I spread the word of what a SCAM your site is."
  17. Jackpot sites that credit points for text and banner link clicks will have a high ctr on those normally
  18. A lot depends on the site. Where does your text link appear? is it in a bold color? Outlined? In a centralized position in the surf bar etc? Or is it some think blue piece of text tucked under a banner ad? Text ads, if they're at least noticeable can help to reinforce the message of the site you're promoting. An easy example would be when I promote our team. I could have a splash page, the banner (like the one you see in my signature here), and my text ad would be "You'll find us at the Top". Its not necessarily clicks that I'm after in that case. Also, in some types of programs, safelists and text ad exchanges for example, text ads can be the bomb
  19. I feel it necessary to post this message received from James Colbert this morning. Please note. I did not tell him that he should not address our team members. I merely told him that the thread that he was swearing in and insulting us all was closed for further conversation. Anyway, I'll post any update as it happens: From James To Clare Sent November 13th Subject Attempting to Pay Your Team Members Message I will be brief...I am scraping up enough money to begin re-paying your members this week. That is not something most TE owners will do, as this business is notorious for have a NO REFUND policy. However, StellarHits is NOT leaving without a fight, and I need NOBODY saying I owe them one cent. Even Zubee's, Emerald Hunter and Treasure Hunter are working properly now. And yes, everything is paid up and I WILL eventually have the Yellow Dancer on my site REGULARLY, in the near future. I have NOT posted anything to your team members, a per your request. However, I DID re-install my script, which lost all old account information. I discussed this with the folks at LFMTE and they CAN restore the site back to where it was, BUT, that will delete 119 member accounts that have been created since the site was re-started. With that all said, I humbly ask you to post something to your team to this effect: The site was re-done, causing a loss of all old member data. However, I CAN go into my cPanel and verify any claims to any monies someone says I owe them. Once I verify an old member's claim, I will promptly repay them. However, I am still waiting the funding I am trying to put together to take care of this matter. I am very serious about this, as I am selling some land that I in no way wanted to sell. So, I ask that anyone wishing a refund, do so in a timely manner by emailing me: jcolbert74441@gmail.com...They will need to include as much info as possible, like Their first/last name; old ID #; what they need a refund for. I will do my best to get their funds to them as soon as I can, and thank you for your time. Lastly, EVERYONE is welcome to rejoin my site. I have very few sales going on at the moment. However, if they want to rejoin and have purchased a PAST sale of a Zubee upgrade, and still want it, let me know and after them sign up, I will set it up for them. There are CURRENTLY no free silver coin at login, but needs to surf 9 sites for it. Thanks.
  20. Hi everyone I'd like to warn you about a new Traffic exchange site that is owned by James Colbert. Stellar Hits He was a member of our team and asked for help from me and other members to guide him in this new TE. We warned him that a TE costs money to start and then maintain and that he can't expect to be in profit quickly. We also thought he was not ready to launch this site. Not emotionally, nor financially. He then proceeded to insult us terribly and I removed him from our team. We agreed as a team, however, to give him a second chance and allowed him to promote his new TE to us and some of us continued to help him, while others supported him buy making purchases such as upgrades and login spotlights and referrals. Some of us promoted his site. We gave it a special place in our team website. We wanted to help him because we decided that he had thrown all in, and was determined to make it work. Plus, being a disabled army veteran, we thought that he could not afford to lose the money he had already thrown into the site. We did not expect him to close the site down barely days later. Please see the screenshot for reference: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t1zosa64jp8tttl/Screenshot%202016-11-11%2023.19.38.png?dl=0 He in fact, did not shut the site down however, he merely wiped out all the members and opened it up again for registration. He refused to reimburse any upgrade money, or even give the same upgrade in his site again. People lost their money and their advertising, and their referrals. Even a dispute raised with paypal got a rude response. Please take care. Upgrading, or spending money with this man is extremely high risk. And with that, you stand the chance of very abusive retaliation in any communication with him, He says words that I wouldn't like to repeat anywhere. Thanks for reading.
  21. Yes, sorry Paul. This owner is very bad. I removed him from our team after horrible abusive language to our members, and as Frank says. He practically begged people to support him and then deleted everyone's account and is not refunding them. Upgrades, login spotlights, referrals, everything they had is gone. He's still abusing people via skype. Please warn everyone you know, do not spend money with this man I was actually considering opening a thread here in the scams section. I might still
  22. Traffic Swirl Its the only TE that gives me more sign ups than mailers
  23. I've read some great news today A great update from Brenton at Trade Social and Exchange (This is also posted in the Zubee Zone Talk section for those of you who are zubee members). Brenton's explanation is more clear and thorough than mine, so I recommend you go and read there too. VIP members will have our affiliate urls for the site put into a rotator that will be displayed in advertising purchased especially for this purpose. We're talking about plenty of good quality, paid traffic here. This is no small perk, its awesome You can also upgrade to VIP using your coins, and have this benefit. Bravo Brenton! Have a great weekend everyone
