    still waiting - but I guess they got homes to goto so I will be patient until Monday

    Me too, although when I tried the site this morning all I got was a load of code. They are obviously working on it as it was fine last night.

    You get paid on the Friday after your comments have been accepted. So, in theory, you can post a comment on Wednesday get it accepted on Thursday and be paid on Friday.

    Unfortunately the site is down for maintenance, but we all hope it will be back soon.

    It doesn't quite say it's fixed completely. This morning when I tried it I kept getting redirected to "version 2" which clearly didn't work as I saw the code for the site and not the actual site.

    Anyway, the main point is you don't join. Just wait until there are topics to comment on and write a comment. Enter your paypal address in the email box and, if accepted, they send the payment to that email address.

    They are working on an accounts system so you can join/log on etc. But I suspect this will be a while yet.

    We reckon they sell them to other websites, or blogs requiring content. The first week, I tested the water with 13 comments which took about an hour and 15 mins and got paid £13 for it. But then the site went down and Im still waiting for about 40 comments to be accepted/paid.

    In theory if you can type at a decent pace, you can bash out the required characters in about 6 minutes per comment. So that works out about £10 an hour if you can get creative with the comments.

    So in short, it would be a decent way to increase your income by probably a couple of hundred per month if it was all up and running.
