Yeah, but every time I log in I seem to get a lot more bucks. I bought some books on Amazon through the site, and not sure, but I think I gained A$FN dollars that way, too.

What I think you're experiencing is the kind of severe currency devaluation used to correct for rampant inflation. Dreamcastrocks is trying to stabilize the domestic monetary system to prevent wild ups and downs, and reduce the risk of system crashes. It's like if we went back on the gold standard overnight.

Just pretend you're Greek, have some baklava, enjoy.

Of course the question in the title of the thread still hasn't been conclusively answered. Regardless of the reset of amounts, the fact is that betting still doesn't work. There is one open bet and nobody can place a bet on it. There are also no new bets to wager on. Sooooo.....however large or small our A$FN total, it's all irrelevant at the moment. There's nothing to use it on anyway.

To answer your question, yes and no.

Everyone's totals were supposed to have been reset. The idea of receiving ASFN for posting is something that asfntech or someone else decided to throw in there without my knowledge.

I put in a request to remove that, as well as find out why betting is not being allowed at this time.

Why would we be reset to zero? Should be minimum of 1000 with the contributors getting their extra 1000 every month as promised.

Everyone would be reset to 0. Contributors to get $1000 per month, or 12,000 per year. The procedure that is giving the $1k/month may be causing part of the issue with the servers.

I don't believe that it was ever guaranteed that everyone would receive $1000, it just happened to start that way.

It makes no sense to be reset to $0. How would anyone that is not a contributor ever bet, unless they were donated money. Everyone needs to start with something.

Agree. Non contributors should start with something. At least 500 minimum IMO.
