I hope they will get paid soon and if I see any payment proof I will join the site right away. As of now, I'll just stick my other paid to post sites.
Currently the highest poster in thelongdistance is Featherfox, who posts 110posts there, he is nearly reaching payout soon. I will keep monitor and see whether he is able to reach payout in this few day. I think most members will join soon, if he received his first payment.
