I agree (not about your cnstant plugging for YAPF) but that since Tim left this place has been going down hill.
Actually, it started right before Tim left when they got rid of the ability to search and sort user profiles for people looking to find Developers.
The loss of that feature (as well as the Help Wanted Section) really pissed me off.
Why?
Because the employment/contract section was a nice place to find PHP work as a contractor. I got a nifty 6 month contract in Seattle off that board shortly before they took it down. Fortunately for me, I'm in the Bay Area, so I just use craigslist. If it weren't for that site, I'd be having to be a wage slave and would have had to sign over all my IP just to get a paycheck.
To be fair, I've gotten a couple clients off this site since (the last was in November... and still ongoing)...but not enough prospects
here for me to even worry about updating my profile, considering on Craigslist alone I get 3-4 prospects each week for PHP/Flash/MySQL and they all tend to be corporate so I don't have to listen to them whine about how much money it costs. The prospects here tend to be small time (except for my gig at Bazillion.com, the now-defunct national DSL-provider)
Seems all of this started just prior to Internet.com's aquisition. And considering that the damn manual here hasn't even been updated for over a year, it would seem the only thing that keeps the site going is this damn forum, since every day that goes by, the non-user contributed info here becomes ever more meaningless.
Way to go Internet.com!
