    I couldn't agree more. I've had my account since 2010 and I've had stints of doing it full-time and it's paid off. Mturk changes so much that it's always best to check in every once in a while to ensure you have the latest quals, scripts, etc. So when you do need it, you are ready!

    I'm glad that I was able to come back to it when I truly needed it even if it's only temporary full-time stint for me. .

    Back solid from 2014. Just ate that annoying black bird on the fence. Can't have a bird in a cat forum anyway.

    How many of you full-timers are running QBC? Is it that much different than MTS?

    I use my Mac most of the time, so it's not compatible. :(

    Usually running linux so that might be a consideration for me as well. I've been curious but havent wanted to interrupt my usual workflow learning a new set of tools. :D

    From what I understand, it just puts things into your queue based on your preferences (like requesters, etc) so you don't have to browse available HITs unless your queue empties or unless you want to. If I weren't on a Mac, I'd definitely have jumped on it.

    I still use MTS, but that says more about me than QBC. I just don't like change.

    Still though, if MTS weren't sufficient I would have given it up a long time ago.

    I've heard enough good things about QBC to pique my interest recently and am going to make a change as soon as I hit some kind of lull I think. It always happens eventually.

    I've been using QBC the last few months and it is a game changer for me. I turk from my laptop because I do this while watching my kids and am often in my living room or dining room and it's nice to not have to be by my laptop staring at a screen all day to catch HITS and it does the work for me. On slower days I can just leave it running and do the HITS as they come in and then do other things while I am waiting for work. On busy days I can just focus on my work queue and doing my work and let it do the work of collecting HITS for me. I just set up my platform, keyword and requester watchers (which I am slowly building up) and I'm good to go.

    I use QBC and love it, but I was full time before it existed, too. :p
    It's definitely increased my productivity and decreased my stress. I'd hate to live without the sleep timer and pushover notifications, again.

    In all my time working for mTurk, I have had 7 rejections, and 3 of them are from this requester. APPROACH WITH CAUTION.

    did the annoying noisy android hit where you are suppose to email with them with codes after, and the email bounces?

    anyone have any clue, I sent them a message through mturk but that's how they should be doing it anyway?
