Gina’s TE Corner

Someone figured out how to cheat StartXchange. Tim received many PMs and there was a thread in the forum about how 2 accounts made it to the top so quick. He’s deleted and banned those accounts and all credits earned by the two accounts within the past 24 hours have been returned to the un-assigned balance of the users who had their URL viewed by them. Unfortunately the “who viewed what site” list only goes back that far.

Tim WILL figure out how they did it, and how to prevent it and extends thanks to those members who notice when something strange is going on and posted their concerns.

There is now a Frequently Asked Questions page:
www.startxchange.com/faq.php

You can also install the StartXchange Notifier and see how many are surfing right in your taskbar:

The banner manager now has a reset link next to each banner, so you can now start the stats over and see how it’s doing.

And the random prize page has the option to bank the credits won. You still need to have a website unpaused to get the prize page, but you don’t have to assign it right away.
