123stuffforfree has proven themselves quite worthy in the freebie world. I think most who complete their sites will agree w/ me that they need their own section on this forum. Theyve earned it. For christ sakes rewardbull...pshh has their own thread

They're new, and they need to pay a downpayment of $500 if they want their own forum.

500$, if that is not a joke, why?

It's a down payment to gaurantee that you're not going to run away once things look good and the money is used to compensate users afterwards who get scammed. That's what I read sometime ago.
But I think 123 should get their own section, they've proven themselves legitimate and have great service.

Indeed. It gets reimbursed after six months or something.

well 123 is makin ends meet. But i know that they are indeed legit, and that deposit stuff is for shady people. 123 is legit as hell.

Just one minor complaint about the site though- offers are either too difficult (the Novapointe ones for example, or the OOD), too common (already did them), or only 1/2 credit

There have been plenty of sites that came off as very legit but went out of business (i.e. freeipodfrenzy). I say they pay up like everyone else.

w/ that 500$ do they get mod powers as well?

No the $500 is a Security Deposit. If after a certain period of time they have proven themselves legit, they get the $500 back.
If they turn out to be a scam, the $500 is put towards somewhat reimbursing our members who were taken advantage of.
It doesn't give them anything other than a forum to call their own. If they're interested, have them contact Admin about it. That's how EuroGiveaways got their forum.

I talked to Curt about why he didn't have his own section.
He told me being a small site they couldn't afford to tie up $500. They said they prefer to use the monies to pay out quickly.
Which I whole heartedly agree with.
If I site takes off will $500 really help the wronged customers? Rewardbull has over 3000 members. So if they close we each get $0.16 for our suffering?
I would vote they get a 123 thread but not at the expense of shipping. If its free yes, pay no.
