    The google search suggestion investment tasks are open to me again, this is what I get from google.

    It's clearly not going to work with 'complaints' so I haven't even bothered trying as I don't want to get flagged and have to put a ticket in.

    I don't see why it wouldn't work with complaints, once, maybe 3-4 months ago, the word complaints was in the top 10 list, so I used it and it went through fine. Typically they just want to know what the top results are and perhaps, assuming here, keep an eye on them for changes so they can release tasks to bump whatever they don't want to see back off the list.

    With regards to the thread losing its magic and not having as many replies/being as busy I have to agree.

    I personally haven't been posting tasks or surveys much as it can be annoying to constantly post tasks, sometimes several times a day, the moment I notice them, only to then see others posting tasks after they've finished and talking about how much money they've made. I don't mind much about missing out on the money but it makes me wonder why I'm putting the effort in to help others when not everyone is doing the same. This isn't aimed at a specific individual as lots of people have done this since the thread was started 6 months ago or whenever it was, I just know it can be a bit frustrating. I'm not trying to annoy a specific person here, as there isn't just one person, but just giving my opinion why I, one of the more prolific posters, has stopped posting so much.

    Another reason is that I used to chat to Vampire-Girl here every single night but now we talk via iMessage instead, as it is quicker/more convenient, and it is nice to have a friend to talk to at night about all manner of things.

    A third reason (and probably the final one) is that I have fallen out of love with Clixsense a little lately. Obviously I couldn't access the tasks, again, and I didn't want to come here and be all negative, as I know that annoyed a few people before. Now that I have access to tasks again, as of the other day, from Monday (or so) I should be back to posting about tasks, as and when I see them, and I hope that others will try and find a few seconds to do the same. If you have the thread bookmarked it is just a few seconds to copy and paste a task and share it with others who may have e-mail alerts for this thread but forget to check the tasks regularly (something which happens to me a lot - too busy reading things/chatting on MSE than making money).

    Hopefully this thread will pick up and we can all start making some money for the dreaded C time, and all the usual bills and things of life.

    I hope no-one takes offence to the first part of my message, but it is something that has happened here a few times in the last 6 months or so. I don't want to have an argument about it, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that is mine :)

    I think the problems with CF has in part caused this thread to diminish but like everything it will have its good times and bad.

    its summer too so people will be out enjoying the weather while we have it !

    i don't have any access to level tasks on any Sites its now been nearly a month so my contribution is zero and will be until its fixed. people seem to be getting back to normal gradually so i'm hoping that will spread out to the rest of us.

    still doing the same surveys and i still look on the thread most days to keep upto date with everyone. also currently beta testing a new app for samsung which is really fun but does take up abit of time but decent reward each week.

    Katy, your so much better at this than me I just end up rambling, as you've probably learnt by our late night banter and chats.

    The reason I don't post as many tasks either is have also been trying to go for surveys on clix and other sites, and I also didn't want it to look like rubbing in other people's faces when I could task and others couldn't.

    All seem like valid reasons to me, hopefully things will pick up for us all soon.

    With regards to CF I have recently found out that they have 3 members of staff on the helpdesk side (probably not news to most of us) and that they received 15,822 support tickets in June alone. 5,004 of these were related to test questions (I'm allowed to share this information here - I've been told so by Michael). Obviously this explains to us why tickets are being ignored, why we are getting what they call 'canned' responses (the same old copy & paste replies) and why not a lot seems to be getting done at the moment.

    There IS a lot of behind the scenes work going on, that I can't post here because of a confidentiality agreement I had to sign when taking on a Crowdflower related project, but if/when I'm allowed to share any information from that project I will do so of course, no doubt someone will try and imply that I'm making it up again (like last time :rotfl: but everything I've said so far has been right). I hope that things will improve soon off the back of what I've been reading, this is probably the only reason why I haven't already given up on CF/CS to be frank.

    Well done on the Samsung project, that sounds great! x

    I never really used clixsense much, but as swagbucks has now dried up and is pretty useless I might look to clix as ya'll are making some big amounts.

    Yep! With regards to your Neobux in your title, I see lots of people talking about the $1,000's they've made but I wonder how much of it is actual withdrawn cash and how much is spent on recycling/buying new referrals. Would you mind sharing your stats with me as I've just started buying referrals :)

    To be honest, absolutely none of that is withdrawn cash but thats mostly because I was constantly buying more and more referrals and their renewals were catching up with me. I wanted to renew all of them for 240 days which is almost done so I'm close to saving and withdrawing if I wanted to.

    Its important to keep your daily referral data and recycle the dead ones to keep the average up. To be honest I don't know if i'll ever make much out of it, but if I renewed them all and let it run down I could at least cash out a large amount. I'm making about $140 a month. Here's my dash stats.

    Thanks for posting your stats, that is useful to me :) Did you start off with a large amount of money or just slowly build it up? Hope you don't mind me asking x

    Also, are you a golden member please? x

    Thanks for sharing TechN
    As like Katy I've recently been getting referrals and have been keeping tracking of spending and any points I've converted to coins.

    With mine though I don't have all referrals ending all same day and have been lucky that none of mine have been dead so far.
