by ben - September 18th, 2008
assuming we all don’t kill each other over the course of the next 12 hours, we should be releasing a slightly revamped namethis.
standby.

As a web-dev you have my sympathy. Can’t wait to get my site named!
Woo-hoo!
yay !!! it would be a wonderful gift after my hell week here
I haven’t slept for 8 days already
Good luck and More power to you guys !!
hm hm hmmm lets see
Hope the new version of NameThis will offer PayPal feature!
um, no it wont offer a paypal feature.
Oh no! Then how am I gonna withdraw my earnings? I’m not a Mastercard holder! This is a rip-off!
@ Sunil — You don’t need to be a Mastercard holder. You DO have to apply for a debit card (which is kind of a bummer because you must release certain personal information to Payoneer), but there’s no cost to you and you don’t have to apply for credit or anything. You set up your debit card with Payoneer, via the link here when you make your first download. They send you a card. (It takes awhile….) Then, assuming all the glitches are ironed out (which they seem to be), you download your money to Payoneer with a click here. Then you go to Payoneer and tell them with another click whether you’re willing to wait three days for your money or you want to pay $3 to have instant access. And, voila, you have a debit card to spend like cash. Truly, once you have your card in your hand, it’s virtually painless!
@Stacy- Thanks so much for helpful info! I’m exploring Payoneer website right now..Oh yeah I thought I had to be a Mastercard holder to use Payoneer!
@Ben- Sorry for yelling ‘This is a rip-off’, Ben. You see, I was really frustrated at the time. My sincere apologies!
@ Sunil — Yeah, it would be helpful to have this explained on the site somewhere (hint, hint).
*chomps at bit*
*checks watch*
how’s it coming? I really need a name, people are stealing my idea even as we speak!
Getting sick of that keyword spammer…ha.
I take it you’ve killed each other. Great! who’s gonna run the site now!?
Payoneer is a pain in my ass. They declined my request because I’m not 18 yet and now they won’t even let me use my parent’s info. Why didn’t anyone tell me this, so I wouldn’t have wasted my time on this site? BULLLSHIT!
@Sharon
- pain in your ***, waste your time, bull****? control your speach!!!
where the hell you come from? don’t you know that in ALL(almost) countries in the world, if your not 18, you are nobody!!! can’t vote, cant buy alcohol, cant drive car….
the best advise for you is to continue wasting your time and earn money till your 18. then get your CC and with the earnd money, buy you some shiny things! and other is to stop writing stupid stuff like this and start thinkin’ like an adult!
@sharon
pretty much your entry sums up why not.
plus you’ll grow up, eventually
@kluster team
did you guys really kill each other O_O
@ Sharon — I do think it’s a real bummer you can’t get paid. I understand your frustration and, as I know many adults who use the same kind of language you have in an in appropriate setting, I don’t lay that on our youth.
One problem, however, I do think may be a function of your age: Not reading the fine print in the terms of use agreement you had to “sign” before you became a Klusterer. (I’ve watched my own kids blithely downloading everything under the sun without reading the terms; I realize many people think of that “click” as a meaningless formality you go through to get onto a coveted site.) I don’t have time to read the fine print again, but I’m pretty sure they were clear on age regulations. You can blame the legalistic society we live in for having to page through a ton of legal gobbledegook. Not letting kids under 18 get involved in financial matters is likely a government regulation meant originally to prevent the exploitation of children (who might take on bad debt or work for low pay), but it may have since warped into something that protects the industry. Anyway, most debit cards that work jointly with kids and their parents are set up differently, and usually with a different fee base (i.e., a total rip-off). We looked into them for my son at one point and gave up.
I’m hoping the Kluster Team will make an exception in your case, in terms of how they pay you. You might write them privately and inquire. Although I’d guess you were, technically, in violation of Kluster rules, so perhaps you want to ask nicely?
No matter what happens, Kluster’s not at fault if they made it clear in the rules that you had to be 18. Yes, it would have been nice if they’d set up a clearer warning box. But it was your responsibility to read through the rules no matter how they were set up.
Good luck. I think Georgi’s idea is good. If you’re close to 18, you’re close to cash. If you’re not, think of it as a cheap lesson into a fact of life that hit many adults in the face, too: Don’t sign anything you don’t understand.
Can we get an update?
@kluster team
-really, where you gone guys? what is happening? no new projects, no new namethis, no comments here,… :((((((
Just a little curious what’s going on as well… I need a name quickly! Any news on the new NameThis???
wow, this was posted like 5 days ago and since then no update…. everyone die?
Is namethis joining knewsroom in the kluster graveyard?
we aren’t dead and namethis isn’t going away. real soon now … really … really. really.
Yay at least we know matt is not dead.
I am itching to see the new namethis
Does Payoneer expire?
Why I haven’t added the 1000 watts for each friend who signs up? I’m under of 2000 Watts…
Maybe for the new site update?
I’m very curious to see the new Namethis…but when? :-(((
I discovered namethis just this noon and I immediately was very very eager to give it a try!
Great idea and great execution, so I really hope the “revamp” is finished quickly…
@Alessio De Marco
I am sure they don’t expire, but you can check it out at payoneer’s site in the FAQS section if not contact them, they respond pretty quickly.
i’m having withdrawal symptoms. I NEED MY NAME THIS! otherwise i might have to…write a novel…or a screenplay…or something. arrrrrrrrgh. “Come back, Shane, come back!”
I’ve approximately 10000 ready names in my mind…
I had finished the paper where i write all my creations and… i’m starting to write on the wall…
I’m feeling primordial…
When do you re-open my dear NAMETHIS?
Now it’s one week since you announced the revamp. When will it be finished? We’re all longing for namethis!
booyakasha!
do you think we should call this “deadthis” mmm… could work?
lol@georgi!
I am excited for the new namethis! Can’t wait to get my greasy mittens all over it.
Longest 12 hours of your lives I’m guessing?
Request a feature : paypal please..:)
Another Feature I would really really love is to know what happens to our clients….some of our clients have pretty cool business ideas and concepts..I would really like to visit their sites once they are up and running
