First. I want to welcome all new members that joined us. I hope that your stay with us will be fruitful.
Now let me introduce myself. My name is Dean Schankin, and I have been in the Internet GPT business off and on for over 13 years, with sites such as Cash Vault Email, which was one of the first GPT sites ever created. But also did mention that I am also somewhat of a celebrity. Well, I guess if you can Google your name and a bunch of entries come up, I guess that kind of qualifies. I played professional football both in the US and Canada, although it was mostly on the practice squad. But it was fun trying to copy the moves of great players like Tony Dorsett, Walter Payton among others. Now, I am a professional poker player, and I have had some good success occasionally in tournaments, but I am mainly a cash player. I call my trips to the World Series of Poker a "necessary business trip". Well enough about me, now on the important stuff.
CHANGES ON THE SITE
You have probably noticed that the theme of the site is changing. When most people hear Godfather, they think of Don Corleone. But for me, Godfather means the "Living Legend", Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson, who basically taught me the game of Texas Hold'em, and is a great friend of mine. I have a graphics person working on the new look for the site, which will showcase my love of the game. I am just waiting to see the first "draft" of what he comes up with, and I am sure everyone will love it.
PAYOUTS
I bet this will wake you up! Yes, I did take over the site with the agreement that I would take on the site debt. And ALL outstanding requests will be paid shortly! YAY!!!
But there are going to be changes regarding future payouts. BOO! HISS!! These changes though are necessary to insure the stability and longevity of the site, which is MY ultimate goal.
First, payout threshold is now back to $20.00. This is mainly because I am on the road quite a bit for tournaments and appearances, and I will probably do a lot of admin work on a laptop in a hotel room, and after 12 hours+ on the table daily, I will have limited time to take care of things. But I knew all this when I took this on, and I promise you won't be neglected,
Now the biggie! While I do appreciate our Free Roller members and their hard work, experience had taught me that with no funds coming in, it makes it kind of hard to payout, which is what happened to Ron. As he explained to me, he had no idea that people would actually sit at a computer for hours surfing, and it ended up catching him in a financial bind.
So, while every can surf and earn money here, only PAID UPGRADED MEMBERS will be able to redeem for cash payout. Free members may use their cash earned for products from the site such as hits or any other advertising items. And you must have been upgraded for at least 2 consecutive months, have all your info filled out correctly and have at least 2 sites running in the surf to be eligible to be paid. After all: This IS a traffic exchange!
PREVIOUSLY UPGRADED MEMBERS
One of the biggest changes here, is that there will be NO MORE LIFETIME UPGRADES.
One reason, they are not cost effective. Basically because of the price I would have to charge for them based on the life expectancy of the site and membership would be totally out of the reach of everyone.
Ron sent me a Excel spreadsheet showing what members have been paid previously, and I have seen that all of the people that bought the lifetime upgrade when the site was new for 19.95, have made of average over 6 times of their original investment. But it would not be prudent business wise to "grandfather" these accounts in as is.
But I am not heartless! As a sign of good faith and good will, I will give ALL previous lifetime members a free 30 days of FLUSH membership. This will give you time to decide which of our new upgrade options will work best for you. I will start changing those for you ASAP.
As far as all other upgraded members, you might notice your account reads "account type". This is because the account upgrade that you bought is no longer in the system. These upgrades I WILL honor for the duration of the term that you paid for. What you will need to do is send a support ticket and include the type of upgrade you bought and when you purchased it. If you are not sure when, you can look in your Paypal/Alert pay history and get the date from there. I saved a list of the old account types and what they offered and will put you into one of the new account types that most closely matches it. But they will not be subscriptions, just one time upgrades that will end at the time of your original terms. If you want to continue with being upgraded, you will have to subscribe to a new plan that will best fit your needs when the old one ends.
Hoping that you read this far, now for some good news!!
The surf for cash will be turned on SAT. AM at midnight, and will run until 11:59 SUN PM!!
And the will be NO SURF LIMIT!!!! I want to see what my "ROUNDERS" can do! Yes. We have a team name! A rounder is a card player that goes on the road to play in any game they can find. And winning and surviving was the only goal!!
I hope I have covered most of the concerns with this change of ownership, and I look forward to working with and for you to make Godfather Traffic the best program to be a member of!
May all your cards be live, and your pots be MONSTERS!!
