The site needs to be setup regardless if its fully running or not. The sit needs "Bots" To index Keywords,Tags Etc. So they can be found with simple searches like "Fico""Score" Etc. Also IMO its beter they postpone now,then when the site is up and running with thousands of people.
Starting Score: EQ 729 TU 727
I see that the website is down, does any one know when it will be up and running?
I absolutely mean no offense, but I honestly doubt that any of us have much, if any, experience starting a business. Anyone who thinks it's either easy, or follows a straight line, or makes it to full production operations without a massive number of hiccups (or worse) along the way, is either completely blessed, or substantially naive: on the order of 90% of all startups fail.
The only reason we care is because this is a very small niche in the population, of people that are near fanatical about their credit reports and scores compared to the overwhelming majority of the population. The hype was overwhelming on this forum, and oi vey, they didn't deliver. It happens.
Everyone here is bought into the fact that credit scores are a long-term proposition with very few instant gratification opportunities (if any) in the entire process. Why are so demeaning of this site which is theoretically planning to offer us a service, which is part of the long term process? Why do we need that service right now? We're not going anywhere (presumably) and neither are our credit reports or scores.
Shoot, if they had their application coding remotely correct, even a buddy and I together could fix any of their infrastructure and operations issues: this is a solvable issue, they'll get it fixed sooner or later.
Anyway, when it goes live, I'll make an objective decision as to whether to purchase their services or not; however, there's so many better things to be worried about in the meantime, that this one is utterly inconsequential

It seems funny why they wouldn't use the free trial from these website security firms to at least test their SSL and other attributes.
I'm no IT Guru, so I could be totally off base here, but I mean, how unprofessional are they going to be ?!!
They certainly haven't shown much, so far.
They're not live yet, and SSL (besides the perfomance penalty on a sloppy website design) isn't a difficult implementation.
