VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. 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.

My parents had to pay for my schooling, and that didn't make them decide that, every now and again, I should just skip a term or two because they wanted a new tumble-drier.

If a family has to choose between paying the mortgage, adequate nutrition and sending the kids to school, the whole society ends up suffering, because people who could be educated and productive will end up being marginalised.

I am more than prepared to pay taxes to fund a decent education for everyone.
