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 reply to: Hammersmithender 's message, "We don't work 7 days a week any more. We have extended holidays now -our forefathers had nothing like that. Back then you only got to eat fish and chips if you lived by the coast. Of course we live longer now than 200 years ago. We can even pay to go to football matches now when we want and have few beers. All of this is too obvious." on Wednesday, April 22, 10:28:19am
