I came up with this idea months ago, I had a succesfull website running, but the hosting company I was with went down and I lost everything. I can’t believe this has just been sold for that much. I’m a poor student and that would have been brilliant.

InviteShare a pump and dump site scheme or worthwhile service?…

Historically as a webmaster it’s been inefficient dealing with the invite-only system many of these new websites are employing.
