This also happens with a small business that expands too fast. I wonder what a sensible model would be? Maybe to linit the number of writers accepted and create slow growth?

Wikinut still exists, but it does not pay any more. To give the iwners their due they did explain and paid what they owed to that point.

MyLot is a discussion rather than a writing site. It does not make false claims and does pay. I think it a mistake to include it alongside writing sites.

Yes, Wikinut paid, but next to nothing. I was again shocked at one post with a lot of views earning just a few pennies. At least I do not think they were a scam.

Triond definitely stole from me. I cannot remember the details as it was long ago. Somehow in trying to get things removed the true number of views I had became visible. It was high even though they were not paying me.

As for “Nathan”on their site. A very wierd individual.

I had to threaten them with the law to get my posts removed.

I had no idea there was a problem with Niume? That is a shock. Can you explain more?

I am getting the “Forbidden Server 403” message. I suspect another site just bit the dust.

Mylot for chat and discussion and here for writing articles seems a good combination to me.
