I believe this ads resetting issue has finally been crushed once and for all!
Here's the background information:
This issue has been prevalent since the movement to the new server, on 12-15-09. People have been able to click the same ads up to four times. Luckily, advertisers weren't negatively effected, as only 1 daily click per person was ever counted.
While I know not everybody clicked the ads that reset multiple times, the issue did effect everybody. You see, nearly everybody has had some referrals who have clicked the same ad multiple times within a day, and so nearly everybody has received extra money from the ads resetting. This is why I had to disable cashouts for the entire site.
So, here's the plan:
First, I am giving 24 to 72 hours from the time of this post to ensure that this bug is actually dead. Please report it if you see it. I know it'd be tempting to keep it a secret, so cashouts could be enabled. But, that is dishonest, and then I'd have punish people by raising rent referral prices, or decreasing click payouts, or something like that. None of us want that, so tell me if your ads reset.
Next up, I will enable payouts on both PayPal and AlertPay. However, I can't allow people to benefit from this widespread issue. As such, I have a solution that as is fair as the situation allows.
The fairest possible thing would be for me to manually review all 26,000+ of the accounts on OmniBux. Then, I could determine who deserves what, and everybody would be completely satisfied. The reason I am not doing this is simple. This would probably take me until 2010 to finish, and nobody wants to wait that long.
Here's what I am doing. I'm going to revert all of your balances to the state they were at as of 12-15-09, when OmniBux migrated to the new server, and the ads began resetting for everybody.
Some of you were able to cashout since then. This is because I wrongly believed the issue was isolated to certain groups of members, and so I stopped them from cashing out, while allowing others. The benefit of hindsight shows me that this was a huge mistake, but there's not much to be done about it now. The upshot is that you who cashed out will have negative balances on here, since balances are reverting back to December 15th levels.
To compensate for the loss generated by such a huge reset, I'm going to add 11 days to all rented referrals and Preferred Memberships. Also, for the next 7 days, ads will be really cheap ($2/1000 hits). The resulting increase in ads for you and your referrals to click should help make up for some of the earnings lost in the reset.
I know it's a pain, and that you lost your time clicking. It's also the difference between a living OmniBux and a dead OmniBux. I hope the continued existence of this site is worth it for you.
