don't sigh too much Chris, we can't point scammers because we are not the victims... and i think lasto made his point already, so adding more on his side would be useless, as this thread is not about scammers but about a better system somewhere else.
i could buy a vB license and start a real freelancers site, but it was done before without any result because Jelsoft was not supporting it... but i'd be ready to start one if i'd be supported..
