It certainly is not free. I don't consider looking at ads to be free. Make no mistake; IBB makes lots of money off of us. Whether that comes from charging our credit cards are forcing us to look at ads, they get their money.
And the problem isn't so much that people are complaining and stomping their feet. The problem is that ever since IBB took over this place has gone to the crapper from a technical perspective. When Randy was running things we had glitches, but nothing like inoperable search for months...
