Here are my gripes:
1) Their site is down more than it’s up.
2) Now they’ve started opening multiple spam windows while we surf.
3) Some of these spam windows won’t close without re-booting the computer. :P
4) Their scroll bar interferes with Google’s scroll bar, cutting off the first few characters of every entry, making them hard to read.
5) We can’t see the page rank of sites we go to, because The Netbux URL gets in the way.
6) We can’t copy and paste the links for the same reason as #5. (Both of these gripes have workarounds—I’m really just steamed about #7.)
7) The last straw—they’ve dumped PayPal. The main attraction for me was the fun of having “found” money turn up in my PayPal account every once in awhile. Now I’m supposed to start over with some other goofy thing to complicate what should have been a nice, simple process.

This also makes me question their ethics. I’ve been with PayPal for years, as a buyer and a seller, and never had a problem. In barely a month, NetBux has managed to alienate them. That makes me very suspicious. NO THANKS! BYE-BYE NETBUX.

thanks for the information. I'll be sure not to investigate further into what I already don't know.

I've never used netbux anyway because I thought it was too good to be true, but I was going to join when I'm 18 (when you can use PayPal). Now, I know that I should not waste my time with netbux. Thanks!!

*shakes head in disgust*
I knew sometime, a really tempting and popular money making site will turn ugly after gaining a lot of members. That must be what they were waiting for. Lots of members, and turn them down at the peak of popularity. Oh cruel world.

I've searched in vain for a way to transfer credit from StormPay to PayPal and found nothing.

Isn't it just a LITTLE suspicious that StormPay has an affiliate program 6 levels deep?

Isn't it just a LITTLE sneaky of NetBux?

They deserve to be boycotted!!

I'm gonna cancel my account. I'm not going to help them in their affiliate earnings if they're not going to let me be able to spend it.

Who on earth uses StormPay? What a stupid name...

Yea, I heard of netbux a while back at another forum....but could not sign up because I didn't have a paypal account. My friend signed up for netbux a long time ago and stop using it because he couldn't stand it anymore. Oh well, I'm glad I didn't sign up for it

This just pisses me off, and people like me actually searched on it. Nutbux was just a waste of time! I can't believe it. I honestly think that some sort of a con-man has been running this thing. I know that one guy by the name of Chad has.

What the *BLEEP* is storm pay anyways? Paypal is like *BLEEP*ing universal then Storm pay comes along? Do they honestly expect costumers.

They probably turned off a lot of people just recently because alot were probably near their payout.

It's quite sad really.

Also tatatee, I'm a little confused on what you mean by

"Isn't it just a LITTLE suspicious that StormPay has an affiliate program 6 levels deep?"

I haven't been to Netbux in a while, and after seeing that they don't accept PayPal, I think I won't use them anymore. Also, they DO seem to be down quite a lot. That was the main reason I quit going there. I think I'll just delete my account there, if I can figure out how. Thanks for that info! I know now that maybe I shouldn't use a paid to search program anymore.
