Full review

This site has been around for some years now and was by many considered "the" source of carpetbagging information. Many campaigns were conceived here and for a while it was awesome.

Then things startyed to change. The Building Societies got their staff to sabotage the site with stupid postings to try and discredit carpetbagging. In particular Brittania were very devious with some of their tactics. Also The Mad Butler was allowed to use the site as a Soap Box, and this also served to discredit the movement. Slowly the regular contributors moved away (I was one - Mr AMP!)

Now things are improving again with www.themoneybag.com, which has quickly established itself as a worthy replacement to carpetbagger.com. Content is great, links are better. Go to both and make up your own mind. Carpetbagger still has its moments, but I find themoneybag far superior.
