Never liked Fagex, remember back in 2007 when I bought an account there and put about 300m on it (Was a lot of money back then) the OMM we used scammed and banned me there.
I used to use Fagex quite a bit more than Sythe hence the lower post count, simply because in my opinion they had a more active community with better sections at the time.
Although Sythe has has always been around Unfortunately, I don't remember when Fagex closed down.
