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.

Show your support by donating any amount. (Note: We are still technically a for-profit company, so your contribution is not tax-deductible.) PayPal Acct: Feedback:

That's cool. We appreciate everything you've done for us.

There are a couple of places that do pro hosting (a board license would be extra, unfortunately) that would host this place, but that requires money, unfortunately.
<I>Exceptions are made for educational sites, sites providing only links to other sites, and text materials of an adult nature, although we reserve the right to make further restrictions at our own discretion. </I>

and several other paid hosting sites...




We're just pissed off and it's just going to be a _real_ bitch to go and try and recreate everything that was there... (sighs)
