Why are you asking for Date of Birth on the Registration page?
- You must be at least 18 years of age to use this site -- children should not be using this website.
- We feel that we have a duty and a responsibility to maintain the integrity of our online community AND to ensure that the people purchasing our products are legally permitted to do so, by ensuring that our site members are of legal age. The best way to do this is the request Date of Birth to calculate age when members register.

- Parents: if you are concerned about controlling where your children are browsing, consider using tools such as: Net Nanny, Cybersitter, Surf Watch, or Cyber Patrol
Why do we have to wait for a Registration Confirmation Email; why can't we Login immediately when we Register?
- This is done to prevent Spammers/Bots from bombarding the site with fake User Registrations. If we didn't do this, the site could become unreliable as 1000's of fake accounts could be created within minutes.
Why is there a countdown and a popup when when we click the links on this site?
- It is the old method we used for earning money from the advertisements -- most of those links should no longer exist at the site.
- If you find a "pop-up" link, please notify us so that we can remove it.
Is the site finished? Is this the final look of the site?
- No. We are constantly enhancing the site to provide a better User experience for you. Let us know what you think we should improve.
What is a "CAPTCHA" and why do you use it?
- Here is the technical definition of CAPTCHA and ReCAPTCHA. We use CAPTCHA/ReCAPTCHA to prevent automated programs or "bots"/"web bots" from clicking on our links to create dummy User Accounts, etc.
- Bots are often used by hackers and spammers to crack or disable computer systems. We utilize the CAPTCHA to protect the integrity of the site and to help us maintain a secure online experience for our Users.
