    I enjoy it, and although I still get a lot of work done during the day, I find myself reading this place a bit too much.

          what he said

























          actually gfy has been very helpful and has provided me with some very interesting ... stuff
          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                There are no mistakes, only learning experiences.
                I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR.
                                          Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
                                          Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                                                      Letting T1 costs hold us back from completing our Voyeur Cam program/site almost a year before Voyeur Dorm launched. Had the girls and everything. T1's were just too expensive and re-broadcasters were non-existant. Now look Candid is one of the biggest companies.
