Well, if that's how it's gonna be here now this site will sure go down the tubes very fast as well.
Won't take long for the creeps, bots & scammers to figure out there's no one monitoring the site.

Ohh by what I'm seeing it has been happening for a while.. But at least the forums were kept half way cleaned... That has changed for sure.. and may only get worse..

To be honest, I didn't know mods got paid, even if a little.
I thought you mods always said it was volunteers work.
It would stand to reason you would get some form of reward considering the amount of work & time is involved in moderating a large forum. But I do recall you (former) mods saying it was volunteering.

No matter what, it is totally rude to just cut people off without any notification or explanation.

It was all Volunteer for many years for those of us that were Mods... But Admin were paid... Mods only dealt with the forums..Admin were above the Mods and dealt with Profiles and all the behind the scene stuff..

As far as when they finally started paying the Mods.. It was due to Mark that was Admin went to bat for the Mods.. But believe me the pay a month was PayPal gift cards that did not amount to much but it was at least enough for us to maintain Internet in order to help...

All of the Admin they just let go were all from the Philippians they worked long hours every day for half of what we make a week working...That pay was for the whole month they worked.

Welcome back TxsGal....
Sorry I'm late

Clear. Thanks for taking the time to explain :)


This is normal as the pay in such countries is lower due to cost of everything there being lower too.
That's exactly the reason why many have people from such countries do our work. Helluva lot cheaper than paying their own people.
And probably no sick pay, no pension, no unemployment benefit, and healthcare costs either. All stuff an employer over here would immediately get.
People often don't understand those things.

This is from the net:
Is it cheaper to live in the Philippines or the US?
The cost of living is significantly lower in the Philippines than in the United States. The average cost of living for an individual is 72.4% lower than in the United States. For a family, the average cost of living is 68.9% lower in the Philippines than in the United States.

Crystal it maybe less to live in the Philippians, but have you searched on the conditions they live in and the very small spaces they call home?? It is actually pretty sad...

Heck my house is around !400 sq feet that would house at least 4 family's over there..

I have had pics sent to me of the place they live in.. And work is very hard to find over there..

They did not even give them a notice they were fixing to all be let go.. Just this is your last day..

Hi TxsGal!
There’s a post on here started by Jenny for call girls and escort services. There’s 3 of those posts in “Dating and relationship” and 2 in “General discussion”. Just wanted to make you aware of that as I have reported all but none have been erased. Thank you!

I don't have to search on the conditions they live in in such countries as I've lived in one for 2 years.
I've seen it up close and personal every day.
I've seen people whose home was a cardboard box. Not kidding. Family with young kids.
I've been to a kampung (domestic village) that they then made sure was really tidy and clean so it'd look its best. Their homes prettied up with some drapes and stuff, not even the size of my bedroom, and trust me, my bedroom isn't big.
No electricity, no clean running water, no loos or showers, no washing machines and so on.

Our driver lived in a one-room-house which was quite normal and he had it better than most as his salary was relatively high.
Yet during rain season there often were floods that went through his and other people's home and this also meant snakes would come up.
Then the whole family had to sleep on something higher, like a table, to stay dry and safe.
The next day they still have to show up at work in clean clothes and look the part.

May be sad, but don't forget it's their normal. Bear in mind we lived in very similar circumstances ourselves not that long ago.
Both here in Europe as well as the colonists in the US.

It's also not our responsibility but their country's government's.
About half the world lives in similar way that we deem unlivable in spite of the billions the western world has pumped into them for over half a century.

I also know from living there (my stepfather was high up, had contacts in government etc.) that most of those billions truly never reach the people they were meant to reach.
It disappears directly into the pockets of the already rich & powerful. Mostly the ones running the country & rest of government.

All we're doing is milking our own poorest people to give for those poor people over there while in actual fact those hard-earned dollars only feed the rich over there.
So it's our poor lining the pockets of the rich over there.

As Gerard Butler said in the movie: "And that's the ugly truth!"

Julie, I have nothing to do with the site at all.. Nothing I can do only thing you can do is report the post and the Profile.. The automatic system will take care of the profile. As far as the post the best thing for all to do is not post on them so they will finally move to the next page..

Crystal I do understand some of the condition many live in.. I have seen the shacks when Cruising in other country's and very thankful for what I have..

My point is they let them go with no notice at all so they could at least prepare for what was ahead.. The Site makes money on the paid subscriptions as well as Google pays them for all the Advertisements that you see..I know that for a fact..
