1. The forum & main site will stay up indefinitely after MTurk shuts down in case anyone needs anything. I assume a handful of things will break after MTurk vaporizes & I'll fix it as fast as I can to keep the two main parts of the site online.

    I pretty much just stalk the script writer over on MTC and see what they recommend. I used to cap nearly every day, even on "slow" days. Then, after a while, I was lucky to catch five or ten in a day. I checked it out on MTC and, sure enough, something changed and they recommended tweaking some of the settings. These days it's very rare that I'm capping outright, but I am definitely catching a lot more than I did during that lull. Of course, there are a bunch of factors that go into this, but it's a start.

    Are you getting a bunch of false caps though?

    Edit: I'm getting a ton and just returned one on accident, for the second time. I'm not having a good morning ha.

    It was tricky. I had to go Sherlock Holmes on it.

    I literally bought a plane ticket, flew there, walked to the house, talked to the owners, had a cup o' tea, and flew back just in time to submit with 00:01 on the timer.
