Staying positive, supporting and reinvesting in a program like The Rock
is not enough these days it seems. Disappointing to see some members
impatient and threatening to cause damage to the program while the
(former) Admin, Tony, worked at getting a couple issues resolved.

It started as a "medium" term program and I was expecting anywhere
from 3 to a 6 month run but with no reinvesting happening from the majority
of members and a nagging LR deficit problem originally caused by a
programmer the Admin relied on, that swiped about $5000, ...The Rock
has deep cracks at this time.




Tony, the Admin, has been updating from launch with not a lot of hype
and so without duplicating and perhaps taking his statement out of context,
I'll add it here...

Hello Gord

I have spent the last 24 hours looking at the situation here at Rocksolidfund,
a few problems have occurred this weekend that has prompted me to decide
 to step down as Admin of Rocksolidfund,I have informed the team who asked
 me in the first place that once I have overseen a compensation plan with members
not yet in profit I will be concentrating on my other jobs on the internet.

The team understand this and have told me that new funds will become available
once that their investments have matured. I have never at any time understood how
the money is made here and it has never been part of my job to make money just
to Administer the site and make sure you all get paid etc.I do however feel resposible
for the programmer who stole over $5000 (not to mention losses from profits) and
feel it is only right to help in the payouts when the funds become available unless of
course the team appoint someone else to do this task.

I can tell you that they have NOT given up on Rocksolidfund and if they can get a new
Admin they will look at continueing with the program. We have a great program that
has suffered because of a few problems.

Many members have made a very nice profit with Rocksolidfund and decided for whatever
reason not to reinvest,this is something beyond my or anyone elses control but it saddens
me that most of the ones who I stood by when the rogue stole the LR and PM deposits have
just simply taken the money and run. Without reinvestment the team can't invest themselves,
it is that simple.

The final straw came yesterday for me when I was receiving all sorts of threats that members
were going to post negative comments in the forums. As you all know that would have caused
 more problems.I am still waiting for a reply from Goldcoders. I am now waiting for funds to
arrive in Liberty Reserve and Alertpay and my hands are tied whist the team get this money
across to them. I will spend the next few days working out the figures so that members will
get compensated as much as is available once the team have either recovered your investments
or introduced NEW funds which is still possible.

Please try to refrain from giving us negatives whilst this process is in progress, I will of course
keep you informed as usual. Any member who causes any more problems will of course be
suspended and receive zero payment.

I now want to thank  all the fantastic members who supported me when the Rogue hacked all the
websites and I will endeavour to do my best to see out this situation until either a new Admin is
found or members have received some compensation.

Of course, I'm hoping for the best myself but with a different Admin at the helm and mounting
processor issues, it's going to be a steep uphill battle. Just telling it like it is. It's not all about
"Hot" programs and getting paid...there are pitfalls along the way... not only from a member's
standpoint but also an Admin's who wants to keep his reputation intact.

As I await further developments here, tomorrow is the start of another week and the usual slew
of new launches to look over and normally there are a couple I invest in so I'm looking forward
to that.
