Long overdue update below:
People are asking about the new: Adsurfdaily--
Yes, the admin control panel is accessible--which accounts for the many people complaining their upgrades are not showing up...some possibly went to a hacker's account in Egold. Surprise? No...UPDATE as of 11/22: Admin panel issue is now resolved--I emailed the programmer back today to verify it IS resolved.
Adsurfdaily jumped through many hoops to promote their security...their program; so, no surprise that an attempt was made to prove they werent as secure as they claimed.
They do have servers through Rackspace--which is great. To not guarantee that investment w/ a proper script, though--was irresponsible, IMO. Andy (full name: Thomas Anderson Bowdoin) seems to have a good business background for sure. He has many incorporations...and his basic info all checks out. Why he didnt hire programmers to ensure the script didnt have holes is beyond me...but, I'm sure this will be rectified. For now, it's NOT one I will be recommending.
They have issues w/ MX records, also...which accounts for many not getting activation emails.
That, too, is basic...and needed to be addressed in pre-launch.
Their success (or failure) will be seen w/ time...at least the physical address...and basic info for Thomas A. checks out--which is more than I can write for many admins out there 'claiming' to be transparent.
The AdsurfDaily thread on Chad's 'Safelist' was interesting yesterday...if you dont spend much time there--I'd advise that you do. Good stuff...and good people. Chad was a former Surf Tutor client of mine (before I closed it)....and he is dedicated to the truth as well. He has awesome members there...and an awesome team. Check them out: banner w/ link is below.
I have also added NetZen's blog to my list--great person--
I've been swamped-as usual--so, forgive me if my replies to emails and pm's are taking longer.
Once I returned home from my parents' home, I started feeling 'under the weather'--am starting to feel more 'myself' now...just in time for Thanksgiving.
People ask if she now wonders if it would have been better to just re-vamp the old sites...do audits...etc...
I think maybe so. I know I do. This turned into way more than that team anticipated--I just wish I could have been accessible to help there more--but, family duty called.
Payments started late last night for GSIT--but did begin and will, hopefully, finish by today.
I'm sure with every new script glitch that arises...that team wants to scream at levels only dogs can hear; but, members need to be reminded that they are only human...and could have given up a long time ago.
Bottom line: It's ALL frustrating; but, hindsight is 20/20 and we dont have the time or energy to re-hash the 'shoulda', 'woulda' 'coulda' mentality....all the team can do is move forward as much as possible and work hard to meet the deadlines and challenges they have created to make TN a success once again.
I get irritated (ok, I get angry) at the idiots on the ASA monitor who THINK they know all about me, Stormy...and others in TN. They cant even get her name right...then they think I am her...then they post I have a criminal record along with "Sara Gant"....to which I laugh first then wish I had their face in front of me.
I would certainly be the first teacher to be allowed in the profession WITH a criminal record.
I would offer a substantial monetary reward for any idiot who can produce such a record.
If you think this crap is true--I tell you what: you email me with your bullshit accusations, and I will give you all my personal info...and the freaking $ 50 bucks for the background check.
IF you find ANYTHING: I'll bow down and kiss your feet (provided you come to me)...and I'll pay you $ 500. (once again--provided you get off your lazy ass & come to me)
IF you can't do this...and prove anything: shut your face and get a life. Arrogant pricks who have nothing in their 'bag' but accusations...get a grip. Put up or shut up!
I will continue to raise my upgrade at Bravo...I commend Matt & Israel for good work.
You all would be smart to put your money in CB and CS. Support the admins who bust their butts making their programs better--that only makes sense, does it not?
I've seen people recently try to knock the profit sharing types. Do they ALL start out ponzi based? Well...probably. We dont really know, though...but, its safe to assume they do.
Dont fool yourself into thinking, though that ALL surfs do NOT....they do.
The good thing about profit sharing models is the tendency to survive longer...
NOW...ones that take the built in (and accumulated) reserves and do something with it..are being responsible...if they do NOT: then they are irresponsible.
It's always based on what you do to INCREASE funds...or just 'roll with it'....a good admin team will do what it takes to increase those funds to make the program MORE secure than NOT.
It's all a gamble, people....ok? Deal with it...and do the best you can.
Well, enough of my rambling for today...
I truly wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING. Let's all take time to be cognizant of things we can be thankful for. I know I am thankful for all opportunities I have...
My family, friends....the fact that my mom's surgery could have been MUCH worse and it wasn't. I thank God for his intervention in her case...and I am thankful for the multitide of people who prayed & supported me through that ordeal.
As Always,
Happy Surfing

- My matrix, The Oracle: Mrsvee Says, will hopefully open either Nov. 30th--or into the first few weeks of Dec. for Founders, etc.

- I wanted to make people aware that this season is also the time when scammers will rise from the depths to take your money: geez, they have presents to buy, too...(enter sarcastic grin here)...SO, be cautious with any new programs that SEEM wonderful...you could wind up financially supporting their holiday shopping sprees.
- I've also been getting some emails regarding MVP Surf: I made it clear I am supporting Michael because I think he is trying. I have pendings from Oct 16th...so, it's not about getting paid for me. I just think he tries hard--so, I support him.
- Dustin from DSM feels he will be coming back--which I am happy to hear. I think Dustin has what it takes to make it work--he certainly is persistent. He plans on implementing the profit sharing type model--which I think is good. I wish him well and will continue to be a part of DSM.
- Command Bravo/Surf continue to do well--despite people having nothing better to do than start rumors that they may fail since Dustin announced (then) that he was closing.
I will continue to raise my upgrade at Bravo...I commend Matt & Israel for good work.
You all would be smart to put your money in CB and CS. Support the admins who bust their butts making their programs better--that only makes sense, does it not?
- Andy from XLO & TFT continually astonish me. I applaud Andy for his no nonsense ways and his dedication to not participate in anything except making his programs the best and keeping his members happy. You CANNOT go wrong in these programs.
- I also applaud Jason and Stacy from EZsurfnEarn and Wicked Hits...as well as Deana in the partnership in the Dimension sites. Great work...great vision...and you all have my support.
- Mike from AS49: great work; I like this program and I like Mike. This one will be gaining more of my support (on here as well as in the form of upgrades)...
- Discovery Leads is doing very well, too....big earnings lately...and I'm enjoying those while they last.
- CepCoast, of course, continues to do very well. The earnings have dropped...but, if you all sit down & figure what that percent equates to when one can cash out daily and 're-up'...you'll be shocked. Dont knock it until you've tried it.
I've seen people recently try to knock the profit sharing types. Do they ALL start out ponzi based? Well...probably. We dont really know, though...but, its safe to assume they do.

- 12x12 Daily seems to be doing well...I'm increasing my funds there as well. I've been paid on time numerous times now...I've always liked Dave....I just always wonder what made him launch a program he used to not respect (model wise)? Who knows...I think he realized paying members in DnDave's was more important than his opinions and set out to join the model and just use that honesty and sharpness he possesses to do the best he can. I'm glad he is increasing security...as that is always the knife in the back of a good prog....
- Eleven-11-surf is also doing well. Brenda is a caring, wonderful woman...I'm glad I joined and have gotten to know her.
Well, enough of my rambling for today...
I truly wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING. Let's all take time to be cognizant of things we can be thankful for. I know I am thankful for all opportunities I have...

Nice update, Vee. We'are hanging in with you, Stormy, Bob, Trevor and the other honest admins.
