FileFront to close on March 30 (!)

Anything newsworthy. Or newsworthy for being spectacularly un-newsworthy.

Whoa.
Who do you think you are? If you'd stopped winning, you could have been the Biggest Loser, if you gave up, you could have been a Survivor, if you'd stopped reading Orwell, you could have been on Big Brother!

This reminds me of when Stage 6 closed, that had to be one of the highest quality/best performance video streaming sites I can recall... sad times.

BTW is it just me, or is the "economic crises" kind of a self fulfilling prophecy... shits performing bad BECAUSE people think "ahhh a recession" and pull all their money stop spending etc....

It seems kind of dumb... but then I'm no that financial savvy so I'll shut up now.

It is definately bad at the moment. My company has dropped from ~150 staff to 100 staff over the space of 6months (redundancy) etc, and its going to get tighter.

I have companies ringing me up asking if i can pay their bills early.

I tell them to DIAF. Everyone is suffering and its one big giant circle that doesn't end -_-

To some extent, yes - which is why the various stimulus packages are supposed to help. The theory is that people will continue spending which keeps retail/small business people employed, and their suppliers in business, all of whom can still afford to spend money etc etc.

But that's only one aspect of the whole economic shitpile.

Stop watching South park.
Having an abundance of platonic relationships reminiscent of my man, Mike Plato.

I wrote that BEFORE I watched that episode... at least I think, it's something I've been thinking about for a while anyway.
