Sorry, but it’s been a very long time since I last logged in here. This place has changed so much, and don’t know how to hardly get around in here!!!
Anyway, SitePoint used to have a few different category sections where we could go and hire people to create websites, design help, websites for sale, etc. Whatever happened to those? Those were a great place to hire people! Did they get moved somewhere else or did they just get removed altogether?
The “marketplace” section of the forums was removed long ago - before I joined in 2011. When we made the move from vBulletin to Discourse a few years back, we changed some of the forum structure, and took the opportunity to reinstate a “Jobs” category. Unfortunately, it was not well used by genuine members and simply attracted Spam, so in the end we reluctantly removed it as being more trouble than it was worth.
