What happened to Yahooclix.com

United States
November 5, 2012 4:04am CST
Recently a friend referred me to this new PTC site yahooclix.com. I just joined about a week ago. I am like .04 away from making the cashout amount via PayPal. I went to try to check to see if there where any ads that I could click on their site. When I typed in their web address it gives me a suspended message that the site has either been suspended temporarily or permanently. Does anyone know what is going on with this site? I cannot believe it. I hope this does not mean that the site has been shut down so far I have liked the site. I do not want to lose the earnings that I have made over the past week especially when I was so close to payout.

It was apparently a very new site. The domain name only seems to have been created on 22 October (or thereabouts). I suspect that Yahoo did not like the use of their name in the URL and had the site closed down. It is illegal to use an established trade name in a domain name without the permission of the owner of that name.

I don't know much about this site, so i can't tell it is a fake one. I guess it has used the popularity of yahoo in their domain name and it was not owned by yahoo. Thats why it was suspended from the internet, hope it will return with a new url again.

Well, the site is back up for now. I do not know what this means exactly seeing as they did not post any explanation on the site so far. It could be the issue with having Yahoo in there name, but it seems odd that they would have gotten that resolved in only a few hours. I am wondering if perhaps they did not pay their buxhost bill or something like that. At least, I am only a few cents away from cashing out. I will be able to cash out today given that the site remains up. I am glad I have not invested any money with this site.

Its the norm for a bux site. Even though bux isnt in the site name its a bux site. Also, its new so how can its host be suspended already? We need to stay away from all these bux sites. its not worth the time to do them.

Never used the site, but if you reached payout after 1 week, they must have paid out good! If they paid ofcourse

Yes, that is the message I was getting. The question is what does this message mean? I understand that you are new to myLot. Still, it important to ensure that you responses add content to the discussion rather than just restating the question that is being asked. I would very much suggest that you visit the tab that is marked myLot to review the guidelines for participation on the site. Happy myLotting!
