Vinefire Outage And Now Lowered Earnings

Up-start and curiously queer traffic exchange VineFire was out of service yesterday (Sunday).

Returning to service early this morning (Monday) VineFire members logging in found disappointing news - the earnings schedule has been significantly reduced.

This move is not without precedences as VineFire has twice reduced earnings in the past, though the most recent reduction was later amended to be less severe.

Basic surfing activity earnings have been cut in half.
Clicking links has been cut to $0.23 per link clinked.
Voting on links has reduced to $0.08 per vote.

Members posting links are now receiving just $0.02 for any up-votes their links might receive.

Whatever other changes VineFire made behind the scenes while off-line yesterday are no apparent at this time. VineFire made not attempt to forewarn members of the down-time with either site-based postings or by email. At this time management has not released any notices or other information about the changes made on Sunday.

It is also apparent that VineFire did nothing to address the problems with several member BOTs clogging the link feed and preventing honest members' links from being seen. Nor has VineFire done anything to rid the site from the plague of pornography related websites being posted, most of them again with the use of BOTs.

Lastly, with VineFire not being forthcoming about this service outage and the changes made, members must prepare themselves for the fact that the reduction in earnings will be followed by a further delay by VineFire in making their promised payouts.

Update On: Hit Safari

UPDATE: The traffic exchange Hit Safari reappeared late Saturday and has remained online at least to the posting time of this article. The traffic exchange was offline and out of commission for two days in a row beginning last Thursday.

This service outage also did not bode well for Power Surf Central.
Hit Safari is one half of the partnership and being off-line means that members could not surf and claim their daily bonuses. Even after Hit Safari returned to service member had great difficulty surfing the required number of days and ads to earn their weekly bonuses. Weekly bonuses require members to earn the daily bonus 5 of 7 days week at Power Surf Central. This outage may well nullify the monthly surf bonuses for many Power Surf Central members as well. This would be a tragedy for loyal members that have already completed 75% of the required monthly surfing.

Will Hit Safari and her partner at PSC make good to the members?
This looks doubtful. There have been no statements, especially apologies,
from either of the Power Surf partners in regards to this latest faux pas.
Emails sent to both Hit Safari and their Power Surf Central partner have gone unanswered.

Hit Safari Eaten By Lions

Long time traffic exchange Hit Safari seems to have been eaten by the lions.

This is the sec0nd day in a row that the site has been off-line.

This also does not bode well for Power Surf Central.
Hit Safari is one half of the partnership and being off-line means that members will not be able to surf the required number of ads to claim their daily bonuses. If Hit Safari remains off-line again tomorrow it will also negate the weekly bonuses for Power Surf Central. If this outage continues may well nullify the monthly surf bonuses for Power Surf Central as well, a tragedy for loyal members that have already complete 75% of the required monthly surfing. Will Hit Safari and her partner at PSC make good to the members?

Emails sent to both Hit Safari and Power Surf Central have gone unanswered.
