Early History
4NoCash Network was originally founded by Josh as a referral-based website offering free WiFi Music players. He later expanded to offer free mini-refrigerators.
In 2005 Josh announced the closure of the 4NoCash Network. iTunesSongs4Free.com owner Mike Richardson offered to take over the network so that nobody would lose their credits. The exchange was completed. Unfortunately, to sustain the site Mike was forced to raise some referral requirements. Although this angered some customers, it did allow the site to stay afloat.
To unify the brands, iTunesSongs4Free.com was renamed Points.4NoCash.com. This arrangement continued for several months. Another referral site was opened, offering free iPod nanos.
GoGreen Merger
In late 2005 the 4NoCash.com referral sites were merged into a new mega-network called the GoGreen Network. The points site was NOT merged into GoGreen; instead, to continue the 4NoCash brand, it was renamed to simply "4NoCash.com". Unfortunately due to a variety of issues the GoGreen merger arrangement failed and the referral sites were closed down with compensation given for credits.
4NoCash.com in 2006
4NoCash was a very popular site during 2006, attaining the level of Grade B on Anything4Free with the support of users and moderators on the forum. The site was opened internationally welcoming users from countries such as Germany.
Decline of 4NoCash Network
Even though 4NoCash.com represented the great majority of traffic and income for the 4NoCash Network, the network was moved from Grade B to Grade C on the forums as a result of the referrals site, which garnered less than 100 signups. 4NoCash.com has never recovered from this move. The site has been in life support mode for several months due to reasons, if mentioned here, will simply be edited out again.
Recently 4NoCash.com was moved even further down into the sub-forum section of Grade C.
Software
4NoCash.com is the one of a few sites to run the phpRewards software system for running points-based free gift websites.
Parent Company
4NoCash.com is a unit of Revenue Networks, a provider of affiliate software to companies such as The Free4Me Network, LLC and LeadGains, LLC.
