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.

I'd like to just add, in case I put my foot in my mouth anywhere else or I forgot to say this before: you did a good job on this forum, Dena. It's only been DOWN down once that I know of, it sees fairly heavy use, it's free, and while it's a bit sluggish it's not unusably slow.

I had considered offering to pay small fees for some kind of paid board. If anyone knows of any (or if there's some sort of option for better response out of this one), and it would be cheap then toss me an email. (Don't expect me to reply too quickly, though. Acen approaches.)
