He is lazy, he finished his exams time ago.

maybe we should write to the newspaper he was so proud to be in, let them know what is going on!!!

He still has plenty of time for his other site: Welcome | Live Newcastle

I was thinking of some sort of coding/programme that sends your ref links to thousands of people, i'm just guessing because i don't know how to do any of that, but that would be against the T&C's i'm sure.

I don't get it, WHY throw a business down the drain and neglect, at least pay someone to take over it or sell it to someone ambitious and keen to make it work. I just don't understand people who do this. It's a shame too because as he tries to move onto bigger projects in life, the people who never got what they deserved and were essentially robbed will always arise to bring back the business-neglect past, I would love to speak with him to find out where the motive comes in to make such a disastrous business decision, if he's not interested anymore, sell the network, pass it onto someone else (paid) or shut up shop and give everyone what they're entitled to, like what Freepay done.

How hard would it be to take 3 minutes out of your day to come on here and say "sorry, i've been busy, i'll get you your items after exams." Noone is too busy to do that.

Larkino · 27-01-10, 05:48 PM

he finished his A levels

freebiechap · 28-01-10, 03:06 PM

I have sent him 5 emails from different email addresses, all of them polite but have been completely ignored. Like I have been saying on here for months now he has had no intention of paying out any money he owes.

yes, and as I keep asking..."who is actually waiting on something being sent"? but no one is answering. If no one is expecting an order, then strictly speaking he isn't owing anyone.

If someone does have an order, then that is different.

freebiechap · 28-01-10, 03:29 PM

I have been kept 1 away from an order for over a year, as I said in another thread, everytime I went to verify more and more greens were conveniently placed on hold. I have used many other networks and send them all the same traffic from the same sources so I know that this is not the norm. Jonathan has been avoiding paying out for ages now.

When was the last time anyone actually received an item from any of his sites?

I know you're just going to accuse me of sticking up for the network but I honestly couldnt say my ratio of users put on hold was any different to any other network (apart from the Runaway network) and I certainly don't recall seeing any threads (apart from yours) of members having this problem.

On all sites, I can have zero accounts put on hold one week but the next few I get a few, I just accept that it's par for the course.

Can only say from what i saw here that Jonathon always came across as being friendly and fair but that's just my opinion.

If the network isnt coming back or if he isnt coming back on exceem, I'm really not sure what keeping this thread going achieves as he wont see it.

Some people need to look at themselves from another persons shoes. Then they may realise how childish and petty they are being.

Enough said.

My friend who got me into this is still to this day waiting for a Wii from them. He was so annoyed by it all he quit the scene and even gave me his website. But yeah, the fact he refuses to take 5 minutes from his life and reply on here just proves it really doesn't it.
