If you would like to be removed from the mailing list, please PM me your email address and I'll go ahead and do so. But before you do that, think about this for a minute:
1.) Sponsors help with the bills that keep AllDeaf free to you guys.
2.) Sponsors help with the contests where we give away valuable stuff to the winner(s).
3.) I'm picky when selecting sponsors, so it's not like they're sending junk, like porn links.
4.) I rarely send out sponsored emails and newsletters.
There are several ways for an organization to support AllDeaf, and one of them is via sponsored email. You, as a member, the least you can do to support AllDeaf is by just checking these sponsors out every once in a while, and either you try 'em out or not -- whatever.
Advertisements can be a hassle, I know, but I'd rather have them around AllDeaf than having to charge people to become members and be able to use all the features available here. I was recently told by the datacenter that the reason AllDeaf has been crashing lately is because the CPU load is so high that I need to upgrade. That means I'm going to have to get a powerful server soon to prevent the crashes from happening, and it ain't cheap.
Ok, enough with my babbling, sorry. Like I said, PM me your email address if you wish to be removed from the mailing list.
