I joined a program called POAD a couple of days ago. I was told that it was Free during prelaunch only, and then would need to be paid for beginning next month. From the description, members should be able to earn enough to pay for their membership. As always, I had my doubts, but I decided to try it out as long as it was free.
I signed up for the program, and the first thing you were required to do was to complete ten “missions” to get you started. These were easy tasks, such as completing profile information, introductions, etc. I didn’t even get through with the ten missions before I had to stop for a while. When I came back to my computer to log back in, I found that my account had been suspended.
I spoke to several other members and found that their accounts were also suspended on the same day, so I can only assume that this site is not something that I would want to bother with. I was going to give them a shot while the prelaunch was available for free, but I certainly don’t want to chance spending money on this site.

I also signed up for POAD a few weeks ago and had several emails informing me that I had some spillover/spillunder referrals. I never got to finish the ten missions as well because after using the Mozilla Firefox browser for some time, I find Internet Explorer really slow. I am guessing that my account has been suspended, like you, because I haven’t received any email from them. Oh well, I’m sure there will be a lot more opportunities out there.

I finally went back to the POAD site, and found that I can once again log into my account. It probably was never suspended, but was just a glitch with the server or something. In any case, the site is back up and working. I don’t see anything about finishing the missions that I never completed though. It appears to be more of a traffic exchange site now.
