Sorry to see loss of this site... it is one of the best sites!! It seems lack of members and lack of member activity has led to this position.

PTC sites (whatever the currency) depend on active members... Advertisers run ads, members click them and act on the advertised products/services etc... if advertisers get results, they advertise after and the site gets more profitable.
This is correct. Here is one of the biggest issues of BTC only site. On my experience unless you advertise something that is related to crypto currencies or Bitcoin itself there will be barely any results.

On the other hand... A PTC site run in BTC currency will always be problematic due to currency exchange. BTC has ranged from around $200 to $2500 against the US$ in the last 18 months of so - imagine this, you have a balance of 4 BTC in your account, one day BTC is $2500 against the US$ and your balance is worth $10000, another day BTC is $200 against the US$ and your balance is only worth $800!! Not good for any business!!
Other Bitcoin PTC sites have been there for quite some time so they are very stable currently for that. We have been a year and even that year we started to make loss since the start of the year. It is possible I made bad decisions such as limiting withdrawals but back then it felt necessary.
Interestingly the day BTC is at 2500$ is here already
:D 150% increase since January. Some of the funds on offer wall are from January to February due to low activity and minimum payout threshold.

Admin are great on this site... but do us a favour... next time open a PTC using US$ and run it the same way you've run this site... it will be a success!!
Good luck!!
I feel I did not do as good job as I should have.
About running a another site in USD is under consideration. It would require some modifications on the script I am building though but not much. it could also allow payments in bitcoin from the USD balance. this way the loss for company would be easier to handle even in cases where BTC would rise/drop.
I humbly thank you for this.
