We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Día dhuit
Your friend was being very kind to you. Beannacht is Blessing but in the phrase Slán agus Beannacht means Good Luck - so your friend was saying Goodbye and Good Luck.
