I was just wondering why credits has not been increasing today. Now I understand it's not a paid to post as of now. Maybe you make it a money-making forum later on.
I suggest you to start-off with some contest.

yes. lemon but i am happy that i catched him very fast and already investigated about him well so i know that he is a bad scammer and i don't accept that my forum is a place for a scammer so i removed the thread because it would be probably a scam from him .

By the way, i really thank you so much for your valued posts about me and the forum at other forums like MMK & WTH .

anyways, i may start soon a referral contest of poster of the day contest .

Well its really sad to hear that the PTP has been stopped moustafa
But i hope you start up atleast a few contests for the sake of the members to post and win something from the forum ..
So that they can come back to the forum for something ..

**alec11** · 03-12-08, 03:48

looks like you have some problem with the site moustafa.
You know that you need a lot of money if you want to open ptp site.

Indeed, it is sad that the PTP feature has been stopped... but it is better like this, than reaching the payout and putting effort in it... and find out only at the end, that you are not going to get paid!

I hope too the contests to be launched!

**alec11** · 06-12-08, 17:09

Since ptp program stopped. How about the point earned when ptp offer still available before?
Will it be just disappear or moustafa pay all?

It was better this way... when the confidence disappears it is much harder to restore it.

All the forums would have been full of comments, that the forum and the admin are not reliable, they are not paying...

This way, the members understood the nature of the problem...

**lemon_1800** · 08-12-08, 15:25

I would say whatever Moustafa done so far is correct. He has actually stopped before the situation become worst.
As artagnan said, it would have been more worst if he had waited till the last minute hoping the sponsor might pay.
Finally, if the members don't get money, they will not look back forever assuming it's a scam. And also they will try to put the message across it's a scam.

Agree, moustafa did the right thing, the only thing that he could do, without compromising the reputation of the forum.

Is a strange thing, the reputation: hard to build it, takes time and effort but it can blown away in minutes or let's say in a day!

Now nobody can state that the site is a scam. It is not a PTP forum, but it is not a scam!

Thanks alot Izabella and lemon for your nice words .

I really appreciate having members like you .

I believe that is one of the reasons why you are so appreciated, moustafa because you don't let us in the dark regarding the stats of the forum, where it is standing. That is indeed an honest thing to do.

Basically, that is the whole purpose of any forum: the members to interact with each other, sharing and learning from each others experience!

well, thanks alot Izabella.

I hope to see my members also trying to attract some other members to join the forum simply by starting threads about the forum at other forums like what rovi did .

I have started the first contest which is the "Poster of the day"
you can find it in Contests&Prizes Category .
hope you make an announcement about it in other forums too .

Best of Luck,
Moustafa

**alec11** · 11-12-08, 07:56

for how long do you want to held that contest moustafa?
It's best if you start referral contest first, then create another contest.
Since this site is new.
