I, along with others who maintain Netbux decided to discontinue the service for several re
 *asons.

First off, if you ever purchased referrals, you should be able to get your money back by f
 *iling a claim through PayPal or StormPay. Both of the accounts are frozen so we cannot gen
 *erate a refund for you. However, I've noticed that a few have contacted StormPay and they
 *have stated that there are no funds in the Netbux StormPay account. This is not true becau
 *se before it was suspended/frozen, there were thousands. I haven't been able to withdrawal
 * any funds in weeks because you cannot withdrawal funds if you have a dispute on your acco
 *unt from someone who purchased from you. And there was always at least one dispute on the
 *account at all times. Honestly, I believe they froze the account because of way too many d
 *isputes and they probably didn't want to keep up with the referral payments that the accou
 *nt was earning (which was over 15,000 referrals).

My phone is set to "do not disturb" until I am able to get it changed. If you call, it for
 *wards to voicemail and then your message is erased at the end of the day without even list
 *ening to it. I'm sorry that I cannot talk with you, but I am simply way too busy with othe
 *r internet projects.

The few days before I put up the "under construction" notice, the server was not under ano
 *ther dos attack like some of you may be thinking. It was actually overloaded with real req
 *uests. Simply put, Netbux got too popular, too fast. Because I am a scammer and don't want
 * to be caught, I cannot continue this service. And I had just made a deal with the host ab
 *out adding another server with some load balancing hardware but I was inadvertently screwe
 *d by them as well.

Netbux.org now forwards to Searchoodles.com until I can figure out what to do with it. Re-
 *make a new netbux with new visions and a better structure? No, I don't think so. I think I
 * will build on the idea of combining the big search engines out there into some sort of se
 *rvice that people may find to be helpful.

If you think that I've benefited from this whole program at all, you're wrong. 2% of the f
 *unds earned through Netbux were either frozen through PayPal (over $30,000) because we are
 * scammers or StormPay (over $10,000) or they were paid out to the members who were lucky e
 *nough to get a payment throughout all the ongoing chaos we were under.

If you look at the bright side, Netbux sparked a new revolution of earning money online. W
 *ith all the new services like Netbux that have sprouted and all the new services that deri
 *ved from a similar Netbux structure all seem to have promise.

Also, let's be honest... This fine community (gptresources.com) wouldn't be thriving like
 *it is without Netbux in the first place.

If you have some ideas for searchoodles.com and possibly what it can be turned into, e-mai
 *l contact@searchoodles.com and I will be happy to exchange thoughts.
