VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

I stumbled upon this website while walking through a graveyard... not what you think. I also did a search through VO-BB archives and found no reference.
Voice Per Minute
Is this an unusual way of doing business, or is it just a different spin for a P2P website?

Bad spelling throughout the pages I've checked out. Talks about the commition owed on a job, etc....I get a little suspect on stuff like that.

Anyone follow it through far enough to find out what the per minute rate is for something?

As far as the particulars...

Site was registered through Go Daddy.

I also saw the many spelling errors, and it appears you have to get registered before you find out information about rates.

From what I read in the FAQ section, it's not a pay 2 play site. It's free to get on it but they check your audio before you are accepted and they take a commission. You set your own per minute rates.
It's all ok until they say that they'll pay us within 60 days of the client approving the audio! I'm not working to see my money being put in an interest account for 60 days in a far away foreign country. It's much harder to recover money 60 days later than straight away. Also, I don't want to work several jobs for two months to discover that they don't pay. It's a very long time to wait for us to know if they are trustworthy.The 60 days aren't fair. The rest seems fine.
I think I might write to them and see if they'd accept to change their 60 days policy for me. (who doesn't ask, doesn't get)
