Requirements
The site needed to allow visitors to join and be instantly displayed and ranked automatically without any human intervention. They wanted prospective advertisers to be able to see which advertising spots were free, how much they would cost and reserve them online. It needed to be very easy to contact all members with news and information. All referrals for both advertising and ranked lists needed to be logged and made available to the advertisers and members. It needed to be possible for members to "showcase" some of their collectibles for visitors to browse and search for. It was also required that every week 3 of the lower ranked sites would get spotlighted to give them more valuable exposure.

The Solution
A combination of Perl and ASP scripts were used to develop the site, the member and referral details were stored on SQL Server.
