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.

In order to be legally compliant, material unsuitable for non-adults must have appropriate disclaimers at the very least. Best disclaimers for GAFF would merely be statements stating "over-the-age-of-consent-requirement" for certain sections, and "not-responsible" for the entire site. Furthermore, also helps if GAFF doesn't post pics but, instead, links to pics, along with "not-responsible" disclaimers for anything found outside GAFF.

There are several other threads that address this issue, notably the alternative boards thread.
