Since alexi started SKA I have probably pulled in double any money he has got into that company and I don't have to pay any one back anything.Originally posted by d000hg View PostAs opposed to boasting on a forum about having a better version you knocked up in a weekend but won't show anyone or actually use.
It's a screen scraper with a persistance module, if he was not doing that he would be searching for life on other planets.

SKA never got there so now we have this SEO company with it's pricing all wrong. I mean he is telling us he is second to google and holds all the info in the world and then punts off competitors back links for a tenner.
