   I didn't hoard anything. When I hit the redeem button the amount was $28 and change, and there were no problems with the site that day.
   
   The last I heard from anybody from Bubblews about my redemption was a one-sentence e-mail about a week ago asking me for the link to my profile. (Nevermind the fact that when I sent my original complaint e-mail I already gave them my username on the site.) Since then, there's been no follow up. No explanation, no "we're working on it," nothing.
   
   At this rate even if do get paid I am done with this site. It's a Chinese fire drill.
   
   
   
   I think I may still have a couple of Shipyard Summer Ales way in the back of the fridge...

      At least you got an email! They completely ignored me when I asked about my redemption. I hadn't broken a rule because I hadn't used the site after my first redemption. I just let the money build up from my old posts. It kinda proves they're a scam site.
      
      I wrote all about this in a recent hub.

   Just for gits and shiggles I logged into Bubblews this afternoon and found a post by some guy celebrating the fact that he finally received a payment that he put in for back in July.
   
   ...I was like, "Seriously? It took them THREE MONTHS?? And yet you're OK with that??" Good Lord. There must be something in the Kool Aid over there.

      Yep, that is very common. Bubblews seems to draw in these desperate types. They only get paid half the time, but they keep posting in hope that their next redemption will come through. Kinda like most forms of gambling I suppose.

   What's a Chinese fire drill? Sounds like a crunchy snack.

      "Chinese Fire Drill" = "a disorganized mess."
      
      In other words, it's a nicer way of saying "a total clusterf*ck." Haha

   Pardon my French but....eff that!!
   ...mind you, I'm not making any money on HP either but at least here I can monitor my progress (glacial though it might be) and know that whenever I do reach that payout level, they're not gonna go "yoink!" on me and make it disappear....
