Is this like the kiddies website, before they graduate up to the big bad boys site here on Contractor UK?

Is there a criteria they need to meet before they can get involved on this site? Like min £300p/day and ability to give someone a royal roasting?

Quickly surfing the various boards, they don't post the kind of tulipe you get on CUK so I think we can conclude that this lot are motivated and happy in their work.

There seem to be quite a few "freelance" website designers on there - methinks I'll try and upgrade ny website for free - so they can add it to their portfolio !

Not as pretty as me though...

The clue is in the forum logo:

Freelance UK: 'Media, Creative, Marketing & PR'

Compared to Contractor UK: 'The IT Contractor Portal'

The distinction between 'contractor' and 'freelancer' is an interesting one. Admittedly whenever I have worked in media companies they do refer to non-permies as 'freelancers' (or 'permalancers' for the long term non-permies), whereas I suppose in the IT sector we do use the term 'contractor' (although I prefer 'consultant'). I had never really thought about how concretely these terms were tied to each sector though (Media or IT).
