What's the email address of that representative? Perhaps if we mass emailed him it might annoy them enough to get off their asses...

I would advise against that action.
I seriously doubt he can do anything
A 5 minute search on Freelancer will get the same page.
I have a more cunning plan.
We find the Products and Software people and ask them.
Then we follow that trail.

Or we find the people who worked on Freelancer at DA. Some of them are mentioned in the the Freelancer fan pack.

keep up the good work! the squeaky weal gets the grease, or in the cast, the source code!
I like Hyung Soong's idea, we should try to follow that up.

I have an idea to try the new CEO as well. He might not care about Freelancer and just say yes!:)
Rant to microsoft! - stewcool - 08-18-2008
Oh im still trying!

That's illegal + really really hard.
Source FTW.

I doubt MS is going to give it out
