Greetings all.
I am a new poster here at gfy, though I have been a lurker for some time. It is great to finally have the means to communicate with others in the industry.
I have been an NN affiliate ever since the 'Nudle race' days way back in 2005! I consistently achieved to drive a great proportion of (paying) traffic and regularly topped the leaderboard. I did so well in fact, that I was pm'd and 'exclusively' invited to start earning on an affiliates based scheme. Back then things were good, payouts were almost instantaneous.
2015 with a good 10 years under my belt (I suppose that makes me some sort of NN veteran

), now I am literally having to beg just to get paid.
I started asking to be paid around this time LAST YEAR. I was asked if it was ok to delay. I had been travelling but upon my return I started to make the steps to pursue payment again. This latest wave of requests has been going on since September '15. Each time I get a response along the lines of "will attend in coming days" "acknowledged, will be paid imminently".
I started to believe that perhaps I was just getting buried in a busy work load and forgotten about, so I began to use the 'affiliate payment interface button' to request payment. I thought if I could be consistent and persistent, then surely I would be remembered. However I seem to have pushed too hard.
By the end of September I was cordially asked for more patience, and that my payment would be attended to as soon as they were back in the office. It is now approaching 7 weeks since that promise and still no payment. Within the past week I have sent two more button presses and two more emails, but to no avail, nothing. Not even a simple, single reply!
It is such a shame as I thought I had established such a good rapport with the site admin/owner after all my hard graft in the early years. I like to think in some tiny part I made the site what it is today and this is the thanks I get.
So it goes without saying to I am quite dismayed, frustrated and most importantly ... without my earnings! I have noticed that posting here does seem to attract positive steps to payment, but I also hope that my recent experience maybe deemed useful for others to read.
I will of course return to this thread if I have any further advance. Once again, it is great to finally get involved here.
Goodluck all.
