What does it cost to use this site?

[Graham]

It is now, and will always be, absolutely and 100% free of charge for everyone to make use of the Web Forums and IRC server at Communicate.
It does not cost anything to read posts, nor to register on the forums, nor to post new topics and replies into the public forums.
It does not cost anything to connect to the IRC server, nor to join and chat in public channels. You may register your IRC Nick free of charge using NickServ, and start and register your own channel free of charge using ChanServ.

You may notice Ads by Google as you surf around this site. The money from clicks on these ads go towards maintaining the server and website, and you are therefore encouraged to take note of these ads, and use the services provided by the companies concerned. This is, of course, not compulsory, however, and you are free to use these facilities in any way that you choose, provided your usage is in line with the established rules and guidelines, and does not interfere with anybody else's usage or enjoyment of Commuinicate.

So come on everybody - Let's Get Talking!
