    Hi everyone. Several hours ago the site RentACoder.com (the biggest freelancing site) disappeared for me - I mean that I can't enter the site. All browsers I try say that server drops the connection. Can please anyone try? (just try to load the www.rentacoder.com) Thanks in advance.

                It's also the biggest site for customers ripping off developers who deliver REAL code. But, moreso, the biggest site for "developers" to go show customers that they really can't write code.

                    I felt a great disturbance in the Force...as if millions of substandard developers and cheap arse clients suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terribly good has happened.

                                  Couple questions, if you don't mind. 1. Are you making a living off of it or is this part-time work? 2. 30 projects is a lot. How big and long is an average project? 1 month? 2 months? 3. What, on average, do you get paid per hour for the work?

                                    Average first project - less that a week. Average next projects (after you're proven reliable to the buyer) - about 1 month.

                                    I'm paid per-project, not per-hour. First project (see above) - usually less than $100 ($70 on average). Next projects - $500+. I'm a C/C++/ASP.NET/Javascript developer.

                                      Hi everyone. Several hours ago the site RentACoder.com (the biggest freelancing site) disappeared for me - I mean that I can't enter the site. All browsers I try say that server drops the connection. Can please anyone try? (just try to load the www.rentacoder.com) Thanks in advance.

                                        Hi everyone. Several hours ago the site RentACoder.com (the biggest freelancing site) disappeared for me - I mean that I can't enter the site. All browsers I try say that server drops the connection. Can please anyone try? (just try to load the www.rentacoder.com) Thanks in advance.

                                          Is that necessarily a bad thing?
