I have been visiting this site daily for years, which is why I am so disappointed that they just started doing mischief. When one visits the site a spam window opens behind the main window so that when you close the main window, there's the spam window. This is virus-like action. STAY AWAY.

Clicking a link on this web site started opening infinite number of IE 10 windows until the whole system freezes and refused to shut down. So I have to make a hard restart.

Some interesting items - some not so much - and much sarcasm.

The operators of the site generally do a good job of keeping user data private as per the user agreement. However, on one occasion in the recent past one of the administrators, in what can only be described as a fit of pædophile-hunting hysteria, breached this agreement by disclosing the identity and contact details of one of the users. Though this caused quite an uproar at the time, this administrator remains in charge of the site.
