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.

Infopop. I've already e-mailed Site Guru about the idea of using that service. A good example of this service is <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.robkamphausen.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat=">http://www.robkamphausen.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat=</a>

I think this might be just what we're looking for.
