I am glad the people I work with have the confidence or at least the FAITH in THEIR OWN decisions of trusting a desgner. Geez man, you guys make designers sound like crooks, not some, ALL OF THEM.
It's funny how the designer gets the bad rap, when I wish I had a nickel for everytime someone wasted days of my time talking to me about projects and blah bnlah blah, or everytime I have to CHASE DOWN clients for money.
I'm owed more than your rent right now ;)
And you want to know why I ask for money up front?
hahaha because there are WAY TOO MANY SCAMMERS AMONGST YOU.

INDEED
But the most amazing thing is that some people goes nuts trying to catch the "great deal" instead of working with known and trustable designers, then come here crying "I was scammed" He-llooo-oooo! Notice for you: 90% of these "good deals" end with the so called "designer" (or programmer or content provider or sponsor or traffic broker) dissapearing from the face of the Earth. This is not intended specifically to you, swedguy, I really feel sorry for you and if you want I can help you with your stuff, but I mean in general. Hope you (and the rest of the people here) learnt something, even if you had to learn the hard way. either way, did you try to recover the funds via Paypal? Maybe you still can
For the record: everybody who's in the mood, do a search for any "great deal" and then try again looking for the supposes "next big thing" when a couple of months later he/she is vanished. And if you don't learn now, well, OK, your loss
PD: Out of the top of my head, I can think of Fletch, TGF, Tom and us (of course) as the ones for gallery making. Maybe one or 2 more names, but next time play safe
Ah, and again: tra-la-la
