Dear Members,
The next stage of HyipsToGo is ready! But first..!
We have an important announcement to make, so please take the time to read this entire letter, as it will give you a brief but clear picture of the entire situation we are in at HyipsToGo. We felt this is important because we believe many members do not really understand what has been going on: some because they did not join us from the beginning and some because they missed some of the updates.
So we thought, we should prepare a chronological "List of Events", so that our members, the most important part of HyipsToGo, could experience what we experienced, and understand what has been going on "behind the scenes".
So here, briefly, is how it all happened...
HyipsToGo was set up with the desire to provide an opportunity for the small investor to partake in opportunities of higher risk, but equally higher return unregulated investments.
We had a very modest and quiet pre-launch back in February 2007, but it was a successful one. By March, things were running smoothly and we had no further problems and we were quickly reaching membership of over 1,000!
What was unique about us was that during this pre-launch phase, we did not opt for any form of paid advertising! Any promotion or advertisement was left entirely to the membership itself, through forum discussion and referral links. We felt that this was the fairest way people could evaluate our program.
Our new site design was integrated successfully in April, but along with that came some problems with our email servers. We had to communicate updates to members via the website itself and as a result, some members did not read or know of the latest news.
In May, to resolve the outstanding issues, we moved our Hosting to a company which offered Dedicated Hosting and IPS DDOS Protection. This was also in anticipation of our membership growth and the fact that we were ready to purchase a Licensed Script from Goldcoders.com. As you all will remember, however, during the same month, Goldcoders.com was not available owing to DDOS attacks on their servers.
Desperate to seek a quicker solution, we then engaged with a professional development team to create our own customized secure script. What we did not foresee, however, was how difficult and complex it truly was to create a custom script with good features that at the same time was 100% secure. We could have launched at any time, but we were never ready to compromise even 1% of our Member's Security and Privacy.
In June, after much deliberation, the Development Team we hired finally abandoned the project, citing personal reasons. Left without a choice, we decided to try installing the unmodified Licensed Script on our new Host and proceeded with testing. However, we experienced our own DDOS attacks, proving the DDOS protection that our Host provided was not sufficient.
Our final move at the end of June was to relocate HyipsToGo yet again to a new Host: the same one that was hosting our flagship website: Surf4others.com. Yet again we ran into problems: This time we found that our host servers had communication errors with the scripts. The worst thing was probably that instant withdrawals did not seem possible with our latest Host.
July 2007 arrived, and by now, we had obtained new Licensed Scripts. More problems arrived as well! During Registration, we found that some users' deposits were not reflected in their account balances. Further, payments had to be processed manually - an idea not feasible with thousands of members.
Luckily for us, Goldcoders.com was back and available, and with their help, we resolved all issues.
So now here we are at the present!
Many times, we look back from where we are now, at a stage of a long and arduous journey that we all started together with our members. This program was our own Dream Project, something we started out and we promised ourselves that no one would lose a single cent here, and supported HyipsToGo with all our other projects.
Our hopes for HyipsToGo was to launch and be the most trustworthy program there ever was, but due to the multitude of unforeseeable problems with scripts, hosting, payment processors, emailing etc, we have had to put a pause to the program until we found more suitable infrastructure.
IMPORTANT CURRENT ANNOUNCEMENTS ON HYIPSTOGO
Here we all are today: 5 months after we launched, and we have stood by our promise: nobody has lost a single cent to HyipsToGo! Despite our clear terms and rule saying that "We have a NO REFUND policy", all old members who were not "in profit" have been refunded well within our own deadline of June 16, 2007. Those who did not request for a refund, have had their new accounts adjusted with the correct balances.
Those members not-in-profit who missed out because they were not aware or were not available, please re-signup, and then submit your E-GOLD # registered with your old account and your new account USERNAME to 'Support'. We will adjust your accounts accordingly. Please take note that this e-gold # should be the one you used during Registration: the one you deposited funds from. Your Refund will be based on the difference between the amount we received MINUS amount paid to you, not according to your calculation!
We regret to inform you also that due to the difference in script modules, we are unable to transfer old balances to the new accounts. Therefore, all members who were in-profit will begin their new accounts with a zero balance. We thank you all for your kind understanding in this matter, knowing that there were many, many members who have made thousands in profit before we paused the program.
We know that this decision will not please everyone, but we maintain that this is the best decision that needs to be taken to ensure that everyone is taken care of, and this was the best decision to protect the stability of the program. We know that those who have had years of experience in HYIPs will understand and appreciate this decision, and loyally support it.
Finally, we also announce that we have successfully installed and tested a Support Ticket system for our HelpDesk. We are pleased to announce that we have appointed one active member "TheS4OAdvantge" as our 1st Moderator! He will also be available in our main forums.
OUR DREAM
WE ARE AIMING FOR 100,000 MEMBERS IN 3 YEARS! AND WE STAND BY OUR GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL DO ALL IN OUR POWER TO ENSURE NO ONE WILL LOSE A SINGLE CENT WITH HYIPSTOGO!
Bearing this in mind, as we have learnt together, there are so many situations and conditions that are beyond the control of the management: hosting/server, script, payment processor, security (hacker and DDOS attacks), cheaters, etc...
With each of these problems, we will do as we have done before: handle them one by one to the best of our abilities. Nevertheless, we honestly say here that the most significant threat is that posed by payment processors. This single threat is something that we can do nothing about, and while we hope for the best outcome for e-gold, should the worst happen, we dare not say that we will be safe.
Thus, before investing with HyipsToGo all members must acknowledge and agree to abide by the Rules as published here!!!
In view of this very potent danger, we are considering several options to mitigate the risk posed by e-gold. This does include offering other methods of payment including Alertpay and E-Bullion. Nothing has been confirmed, so e-gold is still our sole payment processor, and we do hope for the best outcome for them.
Despite all the possible threats to our program, we are fully committed to a long-term and self-sustainable investment opportunity. You have our promise, that to the last resource, we will give our best. And we ask the very same from you, our members!
~ WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUAL SUPPORT, AND WISH YOU A WONDERFUL STAY WITH HYIPSTOGO ~
Yours sincerely,
THE MANAGEMENT
