There is a problem on the queue handling mechanism.
Something goes wrong with expiring current ads.
I've been working on it the past days.

It's just that I've been too busy with offline stuff these days and my head is already too messed up to puzzle this out..
But it will eventually be worked out, don't worry.

The important point is to have the site rock solid in the matters of scripting before launching it.

Edited:

Well, pretty much everything is now ready and fully functioning. We are practically ready to launch.
Of course there could still be some bugs but it's pretty hard to produce them at a testing environment..

I've set some ads to expire tonight so if everything goes well, I'll take a finishing look at my code and
I'll announce the launch. Of course, members of the forum will get priority placement, so don't worry about that.

Stay tuned for more details..! We're almost there..

Well, you've been here since the beginning and I'd have probably quit without your support.
The same goes to Dan, ruicarlov, venkat and everyone else here.

This is the reason I believe that the whole PTCBox fiasko was not necessarily a bad thing as it helped us form this team here.
It helped us get together and achieve things that otherwise we wouldn't have possibly tried..

So, it's a celebration night.. as I'm finally announcing my brand new project.. The PTCBox.Me Ads page.

It is finally completed and ready to start serving ads.
As a so called "launch" date I decided to initiate the system at 27-07-2013 (this Saturday).
By launching it I mean that it will be the first day that traffic will start flawing in..
(Your ads placed within these days will start showing on the launch date in order not to waste paid days)

So whoever here wants to be among the first to place ads on it is now allowed to go ahead and do so.
Starting on Saturday I'll start serving orders from the incoming traffic as well.

My initial budget plan for the project is this :

ClixSense (ClixGrid 1 month) : $20
Twickerz (TwickGrid 1 month) : $15
The-Bux (TheGrid 1 month) : $10

Total : $45

Hopefully it will get me a couple of sales to raise the budget for the next month.
Let's see how it goes..

Again thank you all for your ultra motivating support!

You have a false positive in your system. I was going to pay with payza since I had $8 in my payza account so I set up the ad and then realized you only take paypal. The system sent me the ad confirmation but I won't have the cash from CS in paypal until tomorrow 

What do you want me to do? Resubmit the ad again tomorrow when I have the cash? Can you cancel the current one?

Also, when we try to cancel, you say that we will be blacklisted.  I don't want to be permanently removed, just put on hold for about 30 hours. That blacklisting sounds harsh and may confuse a few people

Btw, the blacklisting thing is just in case you didn't place the order yourself.. which means someone else entered your email without you knowing.. therefore you can choose to black list your email so that no more orders get placed.. It's not permanent actually.. as you can remove it later on by contacting me..

Of course I could improve the system.. but I'm kinda out of ideas in that area... eventually I'll figure it out.

Well, I think I made it a bit clearer now. I edited the email body and replaced some text here :

...and here...

..but this is kind of a temporary solution. I might have to import an initial email registration process with a separate confirmation  that can happen only once.. or maybe request the client's pin code to be inserted after the first order placed.. I'll figure out a way. For now it can all work like this. I'll also have to insert captchas in all submission forms cause you never know when spam bots will pop up and start flooding the system..

You might also want to turn a mistake into an opportunity:
