Who is guilty? No one forced them to create competitions. They had a contest for 10+ messages, after which he said that they will pay only after 100+ messages. But the 10+ contest also stayed. They changed everything on the go. Do you think that everything was done specifically not to pay?
I'm glad for those who were paid, but we were not paid.
How many posts did you made on the forum? since they started paying members which had at least 50 posts during the activity period/campaign. And they're trying to wrap up the due payments before they make another announcement on what will happen to the site.
