what the feck didn't they blooming say that in the first place!
IF thats true then any of the other networks would not have been paid either which can be confirmed or not.

on a side note if giveaway have any sense i would email all the people awaiting payments explaining the situation and asking for more time.
otherwise support will just be bogged down with the same questions over and over. it's the non exceem members of giveaway i feel for.

It is true and I'd posted about it a couple of days ago. It hasn't stopped the other networks paying out though as far as I can see.

Edit - I don't agree with most of what you have said Chigley, sorry. This isn't the first sign of problems, GA have been struggling for a good while, probably November/December.

No one has made accusations of dishonesty. You don't have to be dishonest to make bad business decisions.

Would you still be confident referring to them and putting good money on the line?

Hi Elliot,

Please accept our apologies for the delay, however at this point we are unable to offer you a definitive time frame for when you will receive your order. We have you on our list and you will receive your won auction in due course.

You patience is very much appreciated.

right after i posted on this thread as the ticket was 2 month ago, i'm gonna wait little longer though i do say 5month is pretty long but i can probably wait 2 month then i go bonkers if i don't get paid.

Hopefully this reply wont be greeted with another "pfffffft" like the last one.

I would imaging removing GA would only be done once all else fails and it would basically be banned from exceem and not just placed into the unsupported question.

I've seen this happen before with a few networks and usually there is some comunication between exceem and the network behind the scenes, which we dont get told about.

The one plus that i can see about this situation compared with previous ones who basically just pocketed the money and ran off or not had enough money to pay out people is that if lovefilm genuinely havent paid out to GA for a few months, at least that will mean some money coming into GA which will hopefully be paid straight back out to members and not spent on "thereversebid".

Thing is, even if GA do come back and pay out, in most people eyes they will be seen as untrusted if not unsupported and I expect exceem members will make their feelings (rightly) heard and send referrals elsewhere.

not today .

if giveaway do manage to start and claw in some cash i can imagine it's gonna go towards paying back members of thereversebid first as i think they may be in a better position legally than the giveaway members , so people could be in for a long wait , and thats a damn shame , but hopefully ( fingers crossed ) all members will recieve what they are owed .

yeah, you're right. I'm just basing it on the years that they have paid out gifts.

unlike mr flee who only paid himself, JK and the_icks (eventually).

Was tempted to start a "how much are you owed from GA or Reversebid" thread but that might be counter productive.

I would imagine it would soon develop into another rant thread and not really get anywhere. Yes, it would be interesting but not sure what it would achieve.

ayach has a spectacular aura about
I just received this reply,

"Thank you.

All outstanding orders up to February have been despatched. We are working now to clear March orders.

A statement of issues has been posted on the exceem forum in answer to the queries raised there. Individual queries posted within the ticket system on the giveaway site are answered on an individual basis.

I hope this clarifies."

Presumably they mean people have posted copies of ticket responses on eXceem, because Giveaway certainly haven't posted themselves.
