Subject: A retraction

Okay, I've thought about how slick this "free forums" is...

how can they offer unlimited bandwidth? 99.9% uptime. And no ads? etc.

also how they have top ranking on Google...

All of this takes big bucks.

and yet, with zero cost for the user and no ads, how do they make money?

In addition, their terms of use limit free speech and even mentions that users may be sued.

And since it was recently revealed that the U.S. was actively monitoring forums for "terrorist" activity and we all know they utilize entrapment - it makes sense that they would create something like this in order to be in complete control - and have all the IPs of anyone who posts anything.

So, good ol paranoid that I am, I've decided to kill the site I set up (and suggest no one use this service).

Anyway - sorry for all of this. It's a very slick site to be sure - very easy to set up, manage, etc, but it seems a little too good IMHO.

I'd rather stay with Voy for now.
