Was about to get my final green today and I get this
Site Closure
We are sorry to inform you that dvrs4free.com is no longer available due to limited interest.
As a consolation, members who have active accounts (logged in between 4/1/05 and 5/18/05) and have completed offers but have not been approved for a free gift will receive $10 per offer completion payable via PayPal.
I think that's $10 per offer that -I'VE- completed. I've paypal'd two $25 greens and another two trades for about $20 each. That's $60 in the hole. GREAT. Had 4 greens and another pending. I've had so much trouble with OC offers not giving greens lately, it's ridiculous.

yeah, just noticed this! oh well i guess ill get my $10 and move on. when you think about it, who actually got a dvr, and not cash?
It's probably because no-one ever ordered a DVR, just Paypal.

yeah everyone was taking paypal because dvrs is 275$ for 5 referals where if u do psps or mp3's its only 250$. i think they should pay out like 15-20$ for each completed referal since they probabaly get paid around 20-40$ per offer competion

This is absurd - they want to be regarded as a legitimate, professional company and yet they insult their users like this? A reputable business would have at LEAST given a month or two's notice. True professionals would have allowed members to move their greens to another one of their sites.
Like half the people on this thread, I was waiting for my last green. What really infuriates me is that my mother completed an offer for me last week, and another guy from this forum did one yesterday - yet neither was informed at the time that the site would be closing.

I also signed up yesterday as part of a trade with another member, along with the pvps4free site, I am awaiting credit for both sites, I hope the memebr I traded with will stand up to his side of the deal and do my freeipod since I completed mine... Have no reason to think he wont, but I just hope he will....

likewise situation. was waiting on my 5th green.
I agree that this was very unprofessional. I wrote an email
to the company today voicing my displeasure.
I have 17 greens on notebooks and i will be sore as hell if that OC
site gets closed down shortly after i finish (or before).

Definitely not a good move for the number 2 freesite to be closing down a site without notice.
That's a pretty huge strike against OfferCentric. Makes me wonder how their business is doing.
Why close a site "out of lack of interest". So what if there were only a few people interested in the site? It doesn't cost much extra to keep it running for the people that liwereli interested and actively referring people.
Closing down a whole site seems pretty drastic.

I'm not quite as angry now, but I don't think I'll be doing any more business with OC. If they're going to shut any of their sites down at a moment's notice, I don't want to devote my time for them. Shutting it down may be good in a strict financial sense, but I doubt it'll be good as far as PR goes.

Ya, I'm pissed. So why can't they move everyone's referrals to a site of their choice? They just stamped "SCAM" over every one of their sites, No one will trust them any more, it was a stupid decision...

That wouldn't make any sense. If they did that then that would allow you to finish a different site and the still wouldn't make any money. They shut down the site because it wasn't making any money, not because it didn't look pretty and was taking up space.

I was going to work on this one for the money, but it's pretty obvious why they shut it down.
Just would have been nice to give us more notice.
As for the PayPal thing, I went to the site to enter in my info and there's no place to enter anything. Just the text
"Thank you for participating in our dvrs4free.com promotion.
All orders currently placed will be fulfilled within 10 business days."
But yet the top of the page title says
"Enter PayPal Account Information"
I sent an email= to email=support@offercentric.comsupport@offercentric.com to email=support@offercentric.comsupport@offercentric.com/email asking how I can enter my information for the offers that were done so far.

Sorry to hear you all cant finish the sites. I did get paypal 275 from OC this morning for finishing DVR site sometime last week. I was actually going to wait for approval till I got back home since I was on a buisness trip, glad I sent for approval last week. On a side note Im glad they at least obliged a processed order, they couldve shafted me as well.
