Sigh. I apologize to everyone reading this thread; I let my emotions and my beliefs in the site and its continuing purpose get to me in my responses -- I should not have replied to the first post, but I felt that my beliefs were being attacked, and that I had to defend. I should have just stayed quiet.

Everyone just needs to know that this site is extremely important to me, for it is what I love to do! I will do everything that I can to keep it community-oriented, keep it focused on useful information, make it available for free to anyone who wants to see and search the hints, and keep it online for as long as I can do so. Yes, we have banner ads now, but that doesn't change my mission, vision, or feelings for the site one bit ... and it gives me more time to work on it for all of you.

That's my commitment to the community, and that's all I have to say on the matter.

Rob, it sickens me to see people criticizing you for doing what seems to be the best thing for this site.

I for one, truly appreciate this site and don't mind donating a bit of bandwidth and screen real-estate in return for the incredibly valuable service of almagamating and editing the hints into this lovely site.

If I wasn't unemployed, I'd be happy to donate money to the site even though there are ads here. Some people like the idiot grandparent poster just don't know how good they have it.

Thanks for the great work so far, and I hope that your ads generate enough revenue for you to keep the site as useful and clutter-free as it is now.

You, and all the hint submitters do fantastic work Rob, and I hope that one day you can make a living doing what you love. :)
