Back then, you could search and apply for jobs for free. Now, they're charging a riduclous sum to even find out which of their Elite companies are hiring. Give me a break.

My guess is that they aren't doing so hot. Like you, I created an account a few years ago, but never visited. When it comes to social networking, I'm not sure that 'exclusivity' is a good thing. I think it scares more people away than it attracts. Isn't the whole point of networking to have a large, diverse group of contacts? I didn't see that happening with Team Doostang.
