I'm pretty confident this is it (based on the similarities of the text on the page). You'll have to click cancel on all the login prompts. They have recently put it behind windows authentication.

FWIW, One blogger seems to know a little about Ivorex.  The site was discovered on 4/9/08 and then windows-authenticated the next day.

ETA: and as the blogger mentions, ivorex is an IOU Central clone.  To wit:

At the bottom of one of the p2ptechforsale.com pages it says, "We are not lawyers by trade, but we do have an intimate understanding of the prevailing regulatory implications of P2P lending in both the USA and Canada..."

The CEO and founder of Loanio is a lawyer.  He has a Law Degree from Brooklyn Law School.

Loanio missed their first planned launch last fall and again in the spring.  They are supposed to present at FinovateStartup tomorrow.  I was going to attend but won't be able to make it.

I just sent an email to Michael Solomon from Loanio - I'll let you know if I hear back.

maybe it's this guy
http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/misc/BidRequests/ShowBidRequest.asp?lngBidRequestId=902658

Ive seem him around for quite a while on various sites looking to "clone" prosper.com. maybe he finally found someone who accepted his rates which were rather low.

Here are five other recent attempts to find someone to build a prosper clone.

I googled the person who was emailing me and found her linked-in profile... it hadn't been updated in about a year.  It did not say IOUCentral...  It was very clearly Canadian.

I believe that they had not launched yet.

I think bama's gonna hafta retract "Loanio.com for sale".

And a retraction from bama would be a news-breaking event in itself!   :P ;D

IOU Central was originally a P2P lending startup from Denmark called Fairrates.  Fairrates was built in 10 months by Arkadiusz Hajduk and opened in April 2007.

I've been contacted by Loanio, CommunityLend and IOU Central - it's not any of these companies.
