I've not worked for Leapforce for a while not but when I was working on project Yukon and Nile got offered alongside it I don't remember it having an end date of any kind.

Thanks for replying, Jon.

I am on another project at the moment (1 hour a week) but when signing up to that there was a definitive "this project will last 12 months" - to paraphrase - but nothing like that when reviewing the initial documents for Nile.

I will have to wait and see, but hopefully you're right!

Nile does have a limit - like you say I think its something like 18 months @David H although I got booted from it before that. There is another similar project that is similar to Nile and a few people have done both, but as far as I am aware Nile is a one time thing.

Appen have a similar project too , so that could be worth applying for.

I have just been taken off Nile after 18 months which I expected but am gutted all the same.
It is an hour a week, minimum 5 days a week which they are very strict on.

It's definitely a shame you cannot do it indefinitely because it's a great income boost!

Though, I said to my partner that it's just the nature of that kind of work and I just have to become adept at finding new projects. It's also a struggle because you don't necessarily become reliant on that income but you can become more generous with your spending.

Hi everyone,

Did any fellow Truckee workers get the boot from the project yesterday? I was on it for around 10 months and out of the blue last night, I received an email to say I was being terminated from the project. I really enjoyed doing the project and the little bit of extra money each month. They said to look out for more projects but to be honest, in the 10 months I was doing this task there was never anything else to apply for on my Leapforce page. Do you guys know of any projects coming up with Leapforce or is it down to being online at the right time and finding a suitable project on your Leapforce page?

@Lizziew24 and I were also booted off yesterday so sounds like they've had a big clear out. Very disappointing as such easy work for good pay. I'm on project yukon which I enjoy but availability or work is much more variable and its not as convenient as needs the laptop.

Yukon and truckee are only projects I've been invited to in near 3 years with leapforce but fingers crossed something else appears. Not sure if the appen takeover is good or bad news but we'll see....

I’d like to think something will turn up. Appen website says there are loads of jobs but nothing ever forthcoming!

Oh no, it's disappointing to get that termination email. Yeah I am also registered with Appen but I never receive any invites from them.

Yeah the Appen takeover is a strange thing. I thought our payments were going to be received via Paypal this month but my payment came through today as a direct bank transfer.

Fingers crossed we get invited onto other work soon.

I have tried to log into leapforce this morning with the slim hope a new project may be there, but I’m getting the message that my account has been removed. I’ve yet to submit Septembers invoice. Anyone else who got ended recently had this? @Cclaire @pepsi9983

No, I have been able to log on ok. Did you receive an email around 11.30pm with the new link? I was able to log on via that. I haven't submitted my September invoice yet but I'll be doing it now! Hope you get this sorted.

Truckee appeared for me two weeks ago, tried to qualify for it but still says “Being reviewed by Appen Team - IN PROGRESS’.

Again this was 2 weeks ago, any idea how long it takes for them to get back to you?

How do I know when new projects come up please. I cannot seem to find a projects tab on Appen Global? I recently joined via a link to do the phone call one, I know there are jobs on the website you cna apply for but cannot seem to see how to apply for those if I already have a Appen Global account. Am I missing something here?

Hopefully that is understandable, I am not 100% certain what I am trying to ask!

The projects tab I referred to is on the old leapforce website (now rebranded as appen but different to the appen global website). I'm not sure if you weren't with leapforce before the acquisition by appen if you'll have access to that or not...

Dear Nile Participant,
Your appointment as a Nile rater is set to end today. Your appointment on the Nile project will not be renewed for an additional term.
The decision was not due to quality issues with your work. The project generally only lasts for one year for each rater. After that you may be removed from the project. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your service on the Nile project. PLEASE NOTE: Your Appen Contract, which may or may not have been recently renewed and extended, is what allowed you to work on the Nile Project. Even though you have been removed from the Nile project, you may apply to other projects as they become available under your Appen Contract. We encourage you to visit your projects page to view other opportunities.

We would like to remind you that you are obligated under the Agreement to maintain the confidentiality of the Nile program and any related information. Please destroy or safely discard all instructional material you might have downloaded or printed from FRT or the Appen website in regards to the project. Your FRT account will be deactivated immediately. You should also discontinue working on the FRT mobile tool.
If you happen to be working on a batch and were removed from FRT, you may still invoice for time spent rating stories up to the time you were removed.
If you have any questions about this notice, please contact us by email at Appen Agent Support.
Kind Regards,
Your support team"

Anything I can do to stop this happening? Really gutted as it was an easy £200 each month. Have had my actual contract with the company extended until April but just not allowed to do Nile stuff.

Is Tigris task roughly the same?
