Ending on a high note

Unfortunately, I have a sad announcement to make. As of the end of this month, CashDuck will be closing.

This is a decision that I did not want to make, and even two weeks ago said that I didn't want to close. But the way things have been going, I feel like if CashDuck continues to run that things are unlikely to improve. Since the implementation of the new payout rules, traffic has really dwindled. So far this month all of the users of CashDuck combined have not earned what they did in an average DAY of April or May. I really wanted to give the shopping section some time, but I am losing money and new obstacles are thrown up every day.

I have had such a wonderful experience running CashDuck and it has changed me as a person. I've learned a LOT, and in fact partially due to my experience with CashDuck I will be applying for an MBA program. I am excited about potentially exploring other business ideas in the future. I know though that no business will last forever, and it is best now to end on a good note, instead of waiting until there is nothing left.

Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement. I have met many wonderful people and I consider myself enriched by you all.

In practical matters:

All offers will be deactivated on August 15th. Please make your cashouts during August. All cashouts requested during August will be paid during mid-September. On September 2nd, withdraws will be deactivated. To facilitate cashouts, the minimum withdraw for a check has been lowered to $5. This message will also be emailed out, and put on the forum. If you have questions, please ask them on the forum.

I'm really going to miss this site!!! Kira, I think I speak for a lot of us when I say you did something great for us when you started this site, and you were an awesome admin. Literally, I think the most involved admin that I have seen on any site, anywhere. And that gave cashduck a great community feel to it which is why I liked it so much. It, and you, will sincerely be missed.

One question, though - until when may we request feathers prizes? I want a duck but I still need a few more feathers!!!!
