Do you need a friend?

I visited ITcontractor earlier today. It used to be called NamesFaecesPlaces.

What was interesting was that they had 1000s of members but actually no posts. When I looked I noticed that loads of the posters on here from CUK were actually on there. But had never posted.

So what was interesting was, either the boys at CUK sold their list of members to Gerry or he scraped it or it's pure coincidence.

Their highest poster(s) have 2 posts each, spread over 9 threads. Most recent post was 11th March, and there are some from July that have never been answered (e.g. who should I use to setup my company?)

Wouldn't you think that the admin / owners would at least answer some of the routine things to start making it look busy?

Mind you, everyone has to start somewhere

Is it just me, or are there some really ugly fuglies in IT?

I think CJ was referring to their faces.

Bulldog & wasp come to mind.

It's boring - it's got no bear pit

All seems far too sensible.
