I read a lot of posts and the simple rules very carefully before I joined. I was afraid I could not write well enough.
Silly me, it is not my writing that is a problem is is the typing issues, (another post.)

From the moment I wrote my first post on bubblews.com and got the first responses I felt like I was HOME. You know, that comfortable place where you can be yourself.

I made new friends who seemed like I had already known them for a lifetime. So many of us have a mutual respect. Being a member of Bubblews was so wonderful. I was only the 500th something person to become a member of the small writing site at that time.

Then something changed.

A massive growth spurt! I doubt that anyone saw that coming. 
That growth spurt continues on a daily basis.

Unfortunately with that influx of new people seeing the money making opportunity came the greedy plagiarizers who did nothing but copy, paste and complain,"I no get paid!" 

Sorry to say not everyone in the world is honest and decent.

Of course you are not going to get paid for trying to pass off other people's work as your own!

These people were loud and obnoxious giving this close knit site a very bad reputation.

This paragraph should include those who prey on the sympathies and uncertainties of newbies. I am not an admin, but In my opinion, if people are not getting paid in a reasonable time there is very good reason that has nothing to do with any wrongdoing of Bubblews staff.
(People, you have to stop giving negative attention when there is always two sides of an issues!)

Why is that?

I am an honest person and it had never behooves me to even think about taking advantage of someone else. But, over the decades,I have known lying thieves that are master of distraction. I did not do anything wrong, but, I have learned when dishonest people are about to get caught they raise a huge distraction; a ruckus; a stink!

Liars get angry in an attempt to wriggle out of they mess they created. They will do whatever they can to pull all of those around them into the cyst pool with themselves. These people do not or will not take responsibility for their own behavior. 
"The Devil made me do it." or "Bubblews no pay me. They must be dishonest."

If you catch my drift, here, Bubblews.com is an awesomeplace to write your heart out starting right from the dream Arvind Dixit, Bubblews founder, dreamed of.
Mr Dixit is an honest and diplomatic man. He is bright , creative and knows what he is doing. It takes time to build massive website by hand from the ground up. I am proud to know "&Arvind", as we call him.

There came a time for me when I opened up Bubblews.com  profile page that I felt burried alive under the obvious plagerism one after another , especially around 11;00 pm Mountian time in the US.  A lot of groups, had $ signs in their eyes. They did not seem to care who they hurt. I see the problem is from a group level mostly, not related to Bubblews.com at all.

Unfortunatley people have passed judgement on Bubblews.com soley on the angry outburst of thsoe who got caught in illeagal activities expecting to be paid for it.
Unfortunately not everyone understands how to build a website or the aspects of business. This lack of knowledge has made those people vulnerable to fall for those lies by angry crooks who have been caught. the same people have putupwebsite to defame the name of Bubblews.com, a site I write for in addtion to my own blogs. This hurts.

I want to say one more thing about plagiarism. For those of us who are avid readers it is pretty easy to spot plagiarism. (Feel free to ask if you don't know, please.) Those who have spammed, plagiarised and more manipulation are like parents who are reported for child abuse. Instead of taking look at why they were reported for suspected abuse, they go pounding on doors trying to figure out who reported them instead of thinking about making changes to keep their children safe.

I give the child abuse analogy because that is part of my expertise. I see Bubblews as a family. We Bubblers form bonds. We care about each other. When someone writes they are having troubles fellow Bubblers come to hold a hand or just listen. It is those times  we writers, no matter your skill level at the time, rally around to help each other. Lately I have been sick and challenged with not having recovered from a fall in January. Rellow bubblers have hnted me down to see what they can do to support me. 

Again, unfortunately, because we are a caring group, some people have taken advantage of the system and the love of Bubblews to further their own greedy cause. They cry "boo-hoo" in order to get sympathy LIKES and comments. This is wrong. The Bubblews.com team have to be kept very busy handling those kind of hurtful issue. I thank them.

To update this repurposed post, bubblews.com is launching a brand new version 3.0 in August, 2013. heck out the site, you may like it so much you want to write there, too.

Oh, yeah, we can earn money, too. Sure, a lot of us need to earn some income, but when it comes down to it, more than anything, as a whole we care about Bubblews and our friends/ fellow Bubblers  on the site.

For the love of Bubblews I am happy to say the trash is getting thrown out.
For the love of Bubblews so many writers share great content!
For the love of Bubblews I encourage everyone to please ignore the wrongs against Bubblews. Be focus on the all that the system as a whole is accomplishing.
