The Matrix Daily interesting update & changes

Dear TMD Members,

We are very happy to welcome you to the sixth newsletter of The Matrix Daily.

Contents:

1.) DDoS attack annoyances continue & defeated again
2.) Bonus members upgrade requirement increases
3.) Rule changes imminent
3.) Today's specials


1.) Our site has been through another wave of difficult DDoS attacks that partly penetrated the high grade protection firewall proxy we have outsourced from a third party. You may have experienced difficulty in accessing the site and may continue to do so. However with the help of our ISP we have again fortified our top notch servers to handle the higher amount of incoming malicious traffic and expect the situation to stabilize soon.

The purpose of these attacks completely evades our comprehension, as we have received absolutely no extortion demands or threats that are usually associated with such attacks. What are these wicked persons trying to achieve by striking the most innovative and leading sites in the business only in attempt to shut down those who make a positive difference? Nevertheless, the result is only more angst and disappointment as they begin to comprehend their limited capacity against a genuine and determined operation such as The Matrix Daily.

While we struggle to gain a deeper understanding of the attackers' core values, the situation can perhaps be best described by a TMD member comment posted to autosurfs.net (which is the cutting edge autosurf rating site):

"screw al****rust. crap site with crap admin, stole $200 of my money. matrixdaily is a VERY good site, and good sites always get attacked by goobers that think it's funny to do so."

Yeah. Cheap fun for cheap goobers.

2.) As we march into the 5th month of operation and towards the 15000-head member army, it is time to get some action for the mass of free bonus members we have onboard. Starting from April 18th, all UNPAID members are required to upgrade with a minimum of 2x the amount of their past upgrades to get the PAID status. That needs to be done with a single payment, and no member can earn referral fees OR cash out until she has attained PAID status.

Currently, the required amount is only the total value of your account so if you are a free member you may save a significant % of your stake by upgrading before April 18th!

3.) Like we say in our rules, they may change at any time and although they have been almost stable since our launch in December there are some changes that need to be made in due time. Be forewarned that the changes may happen suddenly and they may be negative or positive from the point of view of each individual.

4.) To celebrate another triumph over the evil DDoS goobers we will make the red pill percentage for today to be AT LEAST.. nice! In addition, we will mark the "surfed" tag for ALL MEMBERS who have active upgrades for today.

Thank you for your continuing trust and support and remember that eastern bunnies are around this time of the year! Even the white rabbit may show up and nab a bite off your knickers...

Kind regards, Morpheus The Matrix Daily Admin
