Donna Rougeau, who identified herself as a subcontractor for AdViewGlobal, has decided not to work for the firm, members said.
Rougeau left a farewell message in the AVG forum, which appears to have closed again after opening back up earlier today.
An AVG conference call scheduled for tonight was canceled without explanation, members said.
UPDATED 9:47 P.M. EDT (U.S.A.) AdViewGlobal has disabled its forum.

1.) Money paid to AdSurfDaily members by ASD ended up in the AVG system. (For example, a member got [...]
UPDATED 4:40 P.M. EDT (U.S.A.) Before AdViewGlobal (AVG) even shared what it described as a members-only, “Breaking News” announcement that it was suspending cash-outs, the embattled surf firm threatened media outlets with copyright-infringement lawsuits if they published the announcement.
Members almost immediately shared the news outside the confines of the AVG “private association,” despite the firm’s [...]

Dear Readers,
Many of you are familiar with “Pistol,” one of the posters here. In recent days, Pistol repeatedly sent us communications we deem harassing through our Comments form and our Contact form. When we didn’t submit to his hectoring, he published a video about us on YouTube.

UPDATED 11:04 A.M. EDT (U.S.A.) Plenty of AdViewGlobal (AVG) members are quick to criticize the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve for propping up sick companies.
