It is. But you can lose the ads and we do have another forum that you get access to. I think Chat is only for members, too. So it's like socialized medicine -- but with the ability to buy some concierge service on top of that to get a bit more and avoid some annoyances.I thought this website was free. Like healthcare.
P.S. Your money also goes to a great cause - the mod team's hookers & blow fund. We thank you for your support.
