Welcome Back! 🎉

Welcome Back to RIF - Where Opportunities Meet Community!​

We've missed you, and we're thrilled to announce that RIF is back online!

We know that this past month has been a bit of a rollercoaster. First, our hosting package had expired in my absence. Devin was kind enough to renew the package out of his pocket. Almost immediately after, RIF started receiving a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack which knocked the website offline. I manage to get the site briefly back online a couple times. Unfortunately, after some back and forth with the host, they decided that we could no longer host our website with them. It was decided we would move. Before I could even get the site moved, our domain got suspended for frivolous reasons. This is ultimately what took the longest to resolve. Needless to say, I've worked tirelessly behind the scenes to resolve all the issues RIF had gained.

I have always tried to go above and beyond for the community. I have invested a considerable amount of money towards the website, and you guys personally. RIF has more than a year of a stellar reputation. We can't let one unfortunate event ruin that. It's unfortunate that the events occurred the moment I got off my vacation. I'm sorry for that. It didn't help that I was gone for a while to begin with. For those who haven't read our last newsletter, I expressed my gratitude to @Devin for the commitment and dedication he showed to RIF. I encourage you to read it.

So what now? What can you expect from RIF going forward?

First and foremost, I want to express my deep gratitude to each and every one of you for your patience and most importantly to those who showed unwavering support during all this. Your dedication to RIF is what motivates me to overcome obstacles and come back even stronger.

A Revitalized Community: Our community is the heart of RIF, and we're excited to see it thrive once again. Engage in discussions, share your experiences, and make connections that can shape your online income journey. However, we want to be more than just a "P2P" forum. I want to be committed to providing you with a platform that not only rewards you for your active participation but also connects you with like-minded individuals. I want RIF to become a platform for true community discussion, sparking creative thinking on making money online. I want RIF to be a platform of resources that gives users the knowledge to do more just earn a few cents a day. This has been my vision from the start. So, let me introduce our new tagline, or slogan if you will - "Where Opportunities Meet Community". More on all of this soon when I can get my thoughts down, and we get stable again.

Clear Communication & Transparency: A history of our announcements and/or our social feeds show that we try to be as open and transparent as possible. Whenever things change, issues arise, or just need to let you guys in on what's to come, I have always tried to keep you guys informed, by me directly, or through another administrator such as Devin. RIF does believe in Transparency. However, I understand why users believe that there needs to be an improvement. With that said, going forward I will be updating our policies to include an official transparency policy that will commit to keeping our users informed about any site developments, issues, or changes that may impact your experience. More on that will follow in the coming weeks.

Payments to Users: As following our transparency policy, let's talk about our payments to users. A lot of users had withdrawn their earnings from RIF in the last couple of months. I had made some payments back in August while the site was down, but I had information available for those users. The moment the site got back up; I started sending out payments to our users again. You can see this in our payment proof section of the forums, and on other communities. I got through the majority of our users before I hit a block. I had hit my daily limit. I haven't hit that limit in some time. So, I had communicated with users that the rest of the payments would be made within the next 24 hours. You can see this by @Hate2Wait receiving his first $34 payment proof on a Thursday, then his $259 payment proof the next day Friday. I continued sending out more before I got hit with "Suspicious activity". I guess sending out this many payments to different countries at the same time flagged something. Needless to say, payments are still being sent, just may be a bit longer than anticipated. I'll be going to the bank on Monday if it doesn't resolve itself. I want to assure you that if you haven't received your payment yet, it's on its way! I wouldn't have just sent out all of this money if I wasn't going to pay the last few users of $5-$10 payments. If it makes any of you feel better, even Devin is waiting. I'll take a small moment to apologize to him, I did tell him this personally, but I want to make sure you users get paid first. With that said, if anyone has any other questions regarding payments, your free to message me.

Anniversary Contest Results: I'm well aware that the anniversary contest was never concluded. I still see the contest section on our forums list reminding me daily. The results of our anniversary contest are just around the corner. I'd like to take this moment to say I'm truly grateful for everyone's enthusiastic participation during the contests. Over the next week, I'll be reviewing all the entries to each of our contest categories. I'll be announcing the winners sometime next week. Please bear with me while this gets completed.


With that big wall of text out of the way, let's get things back to normal. Whether you're into making money online, webmastering, cryptocurrencies, or simply enjoy off-topic discussions, RIF is your platform to explore, learn, and grow.
Let's make RIF better than ever before!

Are you ready to begin your journey?
Reignite, redefine, and rise.

Reignite your potential. Redefine your success. & Rise with RIF.​

Thank you for the update Jordan. It is assuring to hear from you. It's quite understandable that the last month would have been tough for you dealing with so much.
RIF has been a popular forum for an year and letting it go for an unfortunate situation would have been a shame.
I hope that the community thrives and we go stronger in our second innings.
Waiting for contests and other exciting offers.
Thank you

We are all happy that RIF is back and active, so we can share and exchange ideas. I realize that it is impossible for you to make payments at once to all members and PayPal will definitely be suspicious of your activities. Congratulations to all members who have received payment from RIF, maybe tomorrow or the day after it will be my turn to receive payment.

 

[freelancermaria]

Thank you very much for the update, Jordan. I am extremely pleased that RIF is back! Because of you, RIF has become one of my favorite forum websites. You are honest and transparent. In addition, I enjoy participating in topics to which I can easily relate. I hope RIF will be around for a long time.

Its reassuring to learn that the site is back to business.

I guess the owner/admin is keen on implementing robust measures to ensure that the site does not suffer another disappointing downtime.

 

[astutimeliana723]

Thank you so much for the update Jordan. I am very happy that RIF is back, even though I was pessimistic and almost gave up because of the long wait. However, when I realized that the payment had come in at that time, my enthusiasm rose again. And now I am committed to being active again in the forum, hopefully in the future RIF will be even better.

Hello @Jordan it is good to see that you strive hard to make this community a better place. We all will play our role in here. I have been with RIF for a long time. Despite the fact that the website was down, I never lost hopes. I wish you success and prosperity. The fact remains that we also try our best to make this platform a great place for every one. However, my only concern was adding cryptocurrency as a payment method. As you may have noticed, many people are struggling to receive their payments because PayPal is not supported in their country. Litecoin payment option was available a long time ago. However, due to unknown reasons, it was discontinued. So, I would request you to add Litecoin payment method once again if possible. Thanks!

Thank you so much Jordan for letting your members know about the things you've encountered and resolved just to have RIF stand tall again. RIF is the first forum site I encountered on the web and has helped shape my intellect outside the walls of my work. It's a pleasure to know your pronouncement on what to do with your site in broad transparency that's to promote a strong and solid forum site of yours for the benefits of the entire forum community. Thank you and God bless you more .

 

[AruneBend]

Come to think of it,i actually thought the admin was out on a special vacation with the significant other only to come to learn that immediately he got back the site was going through all that.I must admit that it must have been loads of work on his desk.I am glad that RIF has survived this and is even back strong.We have been proved wrong.

[relcap23]

Thank you Jordan. This site is composed of members with varied interests and expertise that I also learn from them. Thank you for doing your best to keep this site active.

 

[saoussen5765]

Index Forum is back to life I got worried that the site will never be back when seeing domain is suspended.

 

[Springtime]

Thank you so much for the update, Jordan. I'm so glad RIF is back. RIF is my favorite forum, and I will participate in discussions whenever I have spare time.

Let us support what the site designs for the site for the benefit of all in the forum community. What is important is RIF resurrects and we now feel relieved. We have many thoughts on those days when we cannot log in and cannot find answers to our worries and woes.

I'm happy too for the return of the forum. I understand t was a very difficult period for the owner and the staff and difficult for many users too. We need to be thankful for the return in the normality.

 

[Devin]

First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to @Jordan for the incredibly kind words he shared in both the announcement and newsletter. Jordan's recognition and thoughtful gestures weren't expected, but they've truly touched my heart. I am deeply appreciative of his generosity and the time he took to make those statements.

With the recent updates, progress on payments, and the various other initiatives we've been diligently working on over the past week, I'm feeling optimistic about the direction RIF is heading. I'm also aware that some of you have been inquiring about my own pending payment, as I mentioned during Jordan's absence that I was awaiting payment myself. I'd like to inform you that my payment is currently in process, totaling $254. As soon as the transaction is finalized, I will provide proof of payment.

I genuinely value the opportunity I've had to work as an administrator alongside RIF, even after stepping down from my ownership role. Although I've resigned from my position, please know that I'll continue to pop in casually and actively engage in discussions. Just because I'm no longer part of the staff doesn't mean I'm saying goodbye to all of you. You've been a significant part of my online journey for over a year now, so rest assured, you won't be getting rid of me that easily!

 

[Starmix]

I'm happy too for the return of the forum. I understand t was a very difficult period for the owner and the staff and difficult for many users too. We need to be thankful for the return in the normality.

Yes, so true, we can feel the struggle of the site owner. We have to be thankful because RIF got back to its feet and here we are embracing the future of this wonderful forum site.
