ok, thanks for the answers... I've actually been looking through this site, and the only really legit service seems to be ****... which is wwaaaaayyyy outta my price range :P

I'm thinking a lot of coffee, and a few sleepless nights are in my immediate future

*sigh*...there goes my st. patty's day :P

do you know of any that are legit. and in a lower price range?

is there a thread somewhere that ranks the various services?

seeing all the bashing that takes place on this site, that seems pretty random...

are there any objective websites that you know of that would provide such a ranking?

could you email me a recommendation per chance?

I've been very busy as of late (student council is such a bloody waste of time), and any help would be much appreciated

ok, thanks anyways

if any1 can help, it would be appreciated

you know, looking around this website, I get the feeling that contrary to what you say, you couldn't care less about the clients, you're just upset about jobs going to people outside of North America & the UK

see, you could easily send an email, and no1 would know, instead you choose to only shout out "scam scam scam" at nearly every link posted.

you *really* need to meet some real people... maybe learn what it takes to be a real person yourself

Gee... what a shocking response.

Someone who spends all their time discussing essay writing services on the internet has called me a moron, whatever shall I do?

Helping people really feels better than being a dick(or in your case, a *****)... you should try it on for size, provided that sitting in front of a computer screen all day discussing essay writing services allows you to fit into anything other than a moo-moo.

Have a good night (day?).

I am so glad I came back to see if any1 had posted any insightful comments... I really am.

btw, saying which sites are legitimate isn't giving a recommendation... it's stating a fact, which is what you claim to do in all your bashings anyways

what do you think helps people more? telling them what sites not to use or telling them what sites to use...

there are a limitless amount of fraudulent sites on the internet, the best way to keep people away from them isn't to name a very finite group of scam sites but to suggest the legitimate sites.

If you really want to stop scams, you direct people to legit sites, as well as warn them about scam fraudulent ones.

I'm gonna go back to my essay now...

well, I'm over halfway done at this point, with almost exactly 48 hours left to go, and my sister, who has several degrees, editing my work... I recently had a setback that involved a battery running out of juice and a large portion of work not saved... which is kind of annoying, but also means that some of this will get done faster.

I do think that your suggestion is a good one though, with all the money going into my education already, what's another few hundred, eh? :P
