"to get extra cash" sounds something completely different if you word it like that in a sense. --- End quote --- You said blockland forums runs on ads... |

I, and nearly everyone else, stopping using mediafire because of that issue. This is only the final nail in the coffin. Stop playing devil's advocate here, there's literally no reason to. |
