Thanks for sharing this, I didn't know about it! What was the selection process, and your experience? Very curious to know!

The selection process was awful. It was like a college final with the feeling of a stage audition.

The experience wasn't bad, but people were a bit more polite on the internet back then and usually paid up even when they weren't 100% satisfied with the answer.
