    I know Paul. I'm leaving as a point of principle now even if it gets better again. As I said earlier, I am just waiting to get my next £5 AGC as I don't want to lose what I've got. Having said that, at this rate it could be weeks!:mad:

    Like we've been saying, it's getting harder and harder. No surveys, no tasks (that just seems to be me!!!) and higher targets. I don't recall one this high before - does anyone who's been here a long time know if it's the highest ever?

    I know there are going to be codes (and the first one was worth 10sb) but a lot of people can't be here all day so miss them.

    i dont get many tasks anymore either. used to do 4-5 casino ones each morning, plus maybe a 12sb casino one. now i only get two each day.

    This is most certainly the highest target i've ever seen. i've been using it everyday for a year

  • 140 target is massive. Just released a 10 sb's code so only slightly easier.
    6mo2go code hopefully means another 6 set of codes to go today. So may be ok if you can keep checking sb's throughout the day.

    we need to somehow make it known to them that they have a lack of material and everyone is leaving to pursue much better/more profitable sites. an open letter perhaps.

    anyway, off to work. i'll worry about sb later, when i get home tonight and find theres no surveys left which is often the case after 6pm. sigh

    I just moaned about the target but I've hit it now for the day. Having an iPhone that I can download apps to for SB does help. Also just got a survey on PL for 36sb on takeout food

    140 is an absolute joke. Just checked and the only time the target has been higher was for the 5th birthday which was a target of 150 (but there were 130SB of codes).

    I'm deactivating my account. I loved the site but it has continuously gone downhill. A 140SB target is OK IF there is an opportunity to achieve it. I am not sitting all day and watching SpamBTV. Grrr!

    Gutted, I started the PL survey but it's asking too many questions and I have to go to work :(
