This couldn't be harder to post
As many of you may know I, mexicantarget, started as a regular Faucet Owner by launching my first faucet in Jan 2016: FaucetGame.com. It turned out to be rather popular and gained many users, quickly growing into one of the highest paying and legitimate faucets of the era. It was quite a ride, with many great things taking place there, and many new features and upgrades created for it.
I then expanded my faucet operation by acquiring and creating more unique and fun faucets including GameFaucet.com, PokeBits.com, among others. This collection soon became known as the Faucet Gaming Network (FGN). At the end of 2016 I launched FaucetHub as a way to better handle my own faucets and provide a sleek and easy platform for other faucet owners to make use of.
Fast forward to today and I now operate 12 websites including FaucetHub, which became the biggest micro-wallet in the industry with over 1.2 million registered users and over 4277 active faucets at the time of posting.
Guys, thank you! Without the support of both faucet owners and their users, FaucetHub would never have grown as big as it has done today.
(FAUCETHUB.IO IS NOT CLOSING)
I've got a lot of plans in store for FaucetHub's future, as well as working diligently on the creation of ZenAds.io a new bitcoin advertisement platform. In addition to this, I have a lot of plans for the FGN. But, unfortunately, many of those plans and ideas won't be seeing the light of day.
You've probably noticed over the last year some common things happening with my sites: They might be down, slow and laggy for extended periods of time. You might have sent me a PM and I took 5 days to reply to it. You might have posted in the Announcement threads on Bitcointalk and not gotten an answer for a week, or not at all. You may have reported a bug and it wasn't looked at or checked for a month. On the surface it might just look like I did not care for my faucets. It didn't used to be like this.
For those of you who don't know, I became a father and a husband late last year. These 2 events are life changing, and ended up taking up a whole lot of my daily free time which is now dedicated to raising a family above all else. At the same time I'm trying best I can with keeping my faucets alive and topped up, freeing the world of bots and exploiters, maintaining FaucetHub, and still working behind the scenes on ZenAds. Thankfully I have a wonderful moderation & support team to help with common issues reported in chat and via tickets, and not only that but a great community in each site's chatbox who's willing to help out users solving each others problems.
What I'm about to say is probably one of the hardest decisions I've ever made. After giving this a lot of thought and sleepless nights I've decided that I won't be able to continue operating the Faucet Gaming Network due to lack of time to dedicate to them. If you are not aware, below is the list of Faucet Gaming Network sites:
- FaucetGame.com
- GameFaucet.com
- PokeBits.com
- SatoshiWars.com
- FreeBTCMine.com
- BlockFaucet.com
- CryptoRacers.com
- VirtualPub.io
- CryptoWarfare.io
- RainPool.io
Each one of these sites has a history. Each one started from nothing and became something. Each one is a community. Each one is a unique and fun experience. Each one of them are my babies, making it a tear jerking moment to have to end their lives after such a great ride to this point in time.
I can understand that many of you might be shocked after reading this. Some of you may have even read it a second time just to check you got it right and didn't misread something. Even I'm shocked by reading it back to myself so far. For many of you, the FGN has been a big part of your lives for the last 2+ years, with many users who are here since day one still coming back to visit their friends and wish them luck in their daily gaming habits. For many of you the FGN was a fun experience, for others it was a lucrative one, and for more it was a purely social experience, and for the ones who may have just joined it's an unfortunate one to be caught in such a sad moment.
I assume that after the shock passes you'll be left with some questions, like, "what about my unpaid balance?", "when is this happening?" "can I still play up until the day things close?".
There's no need to worry as each of my sites will have their withdraw limits significantly lowered and daily limits removed, to allow you to withdraw your complete balances in full to your FaucetHub account like usual for 1 month after the date of this post. For those of you who have a lifetime VIP account on FaucetGame.com, a partial refund will be issued based on how much you have left to ROI on the purchase. In addition to that, you will be granted a lifetime Premium account here.
Ok, now for the good news: this means that I'll have all the time I have to dedicate to making FaucetHub a better place by adding more features, more popular cryptocurrencies, and all sorts else. And for you faucet owners, your competition will be gone!
So I'd like to say something which is directed to every single user who opened an account on one of the FGN sites: THANK YOU SO MUCH! Really, words can't express how I feel and how much gratitude I have towards you. Every time someone says thanks to me, or gives me positive comments about one of my creations, that's what really brings me true happiness. It's thanks to you that things got this far and didn't just end up dead after a month back in Jan 2016.
There's plenty more faucet's in the sea!
