VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997.

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.

From here -- <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://invisionfree.com/forums/support/index.php?showtopic=44762&st=30">http://invisionfree.com/forums/support/index.php?showtopic=44762&st=30</a> -- a member of InvisionFree's Global Support Team said: "I can pretty much assure you that the forum in question was not shut down for what you think it was."

Given that several GAFF posters were, in broad terms, referring to "a spammer/troll that posted something in violation of the TOS, then reported it" (the Anne Frank story?), I don't think the spammer/Anne Frank thing was the reason why the board was closed. GAFF regularly broke these two rules: (j) Pornography, nudity, or sexual material of any kind; (k) Excessive profanity. These rules were being broken--and there can be no real argument that they weren't. I don't think there's any need to conjure up any fanciful reasons why the boards were closed--the TOS was violated by GAFF posters, and that's reason enough for InvisionFree to withdraw their service.
