maybe for another reason, on Nov 8th 2010 this thread was titled with "FileFactory DOESN'T want to pay".. and now it still deserves this title!
it really sucks my stats went from 1000 dl per day to 200 ! it took me lot of time to upload and promote my files now they're no more counted and won't be after may ! they made this may promo just to introduce this new restriction ! hope they'll change it or i don't see any reason for keep using em ! because in 5 months they'll again intorduce september promo or i don't know what to stop counting files from april to september...
Yeah they are using this promo to cover it up. No old time member will like this bullshit who over the years have uploaded a bunch of files now all are useless. Like you said, the same thing will happen the next few months, Im guessing December, then all before December 2011 files uploaded wont get payed. Fucking assholes/.
They stole my 1 year premium account one moth ago (when they website crashed), and after several send emails I just give up....
Wow after rereading the new rules, the "NEW RATES" are actually only for a MONTH. After May the rates goes back down to the original. The promotion was done well to cover it all up.
Anyone still working with FF here ? FF seems to be the only host which have loads of rules, that too changes all the time with no consistency, also the case for file tier, download rates, sales rates etc. Everything changes time to time....
I left uploading but i used to get paid by them all the time. i used to make some sale , which may be the reason
You forgot to bold this part: At the end of May, Rewards rates will revert back to the previous standard rates There will be no new rates. Its only for May.
FF has the best filemanager and some great options, unfortunately they just killed thier business with the new rates and not counting all the files... still earning some money with them, but if it keeps this way not sure will stay
My download earnings have been stuck for about the last 12 hours. What in the world is going on with FF? Also, am I to understand that come July, All files u/led before April will no longer count as downloads?
I think it's another problem than one about the bonus program rulez coz it's only a bonus of the General Earning program. The real problme is that all my Stats are frozen since 20 hours then i think it's a general problem or perhaps not?! anybody have this Frozen Earning Stats Problem?!
April 2011 files hasnt been counted since MAY 2011. and I can assure you the same thing will happen 9n 7 months...
Sorta seems pointless to re-upload all my older (1000+) files if the same scenario unfolds within a year's time.
Better use a reputed file host as there is no point in trusting a host which changes rules all the time. FF actually don't like to pay affiliates so they change their rules, file tier etc all the time to cut down as much affiliate payments. Their current May, June promo is just a method to cover up the new policy 'No download rewards for files uploaded before April 2011'. Also at beginning of May they told they give new iPad 2's daily to the affiliate who gets highest downloads then they told its only for the one who gets highest downloads in the whole May. They again changed it to the one who is able to get highest USA downloads etc.
