Hey James – the script is not AR memberscript at all. This is a completely custom job to move away from a very insecure and un-scaling script.

We could have fixed the script yes, but all it would cause further down the line is more ‘hacking’ at the script making it worse and worse – so the decision was to re-code it entirely and bring the site up to stratch and independant of any bugs that may be lurking around in scripts such as AR. :)

David – I’ll post up about my new job soon don’t worry :)

Nice job Jay!

Where are you going to be working? I’ve been gone for the greater part of the month and don’t remember you saying anything about a new job. Good Luck!

Im not trying to bash anyone, but seriously from viewing the website- it honestly was NOT worth 2500usd. Seriously.

The memberscript is called the AR memberscript, and after viewing narutocentral, it still seems as if there were no modifications at all.

and yes, i was saying 100usd and i admit i was exaggerating. maybe 500 max. i mean the things you listed up there that were ‘improvements’ couldve been easily fixed by simple PHP coding. thats all im saying.

lol, 100 usd for that? you must be either really desperate for some pocket change or have way too much time on your hands.

thats the problem these days – too many people willing to do big jobs for shit money and dont put the time or effort in that the job needs, ending in crap results. all it does is either a)leave a big mess for a real coder too clean up down the line when it falls to bits or b) keep real coders who wont work for peanuts out of a job!

No sunset it doesn’t, I was given a very relaxed deadline so the price wasn’t as high as $2500.

That said – my next job cracks that goal.

James – a lot of people could’ve done the job for $100 but they would have produced just that – a $100 job. Which was the problem I was fixing in the first place :)

Great job. But from browsing narutocentral, it seems to me that a job like dosent come out to cost $2500. I couldve done that for about $100!

I’m freelance Jared – i’ll be starting my next job on the 27th :) And I was paid a single fee spread over the time it took me to complete the site.

in the mean time i’ve got a nice holiday in Lanzarote to look forward to and some nice free time to spend with my girlfriend.
