    I did a search through some recent business websites and discovered the name of the (big!) multimedia company that bought the site – and how much they valued it. Whilst I am glad that you managed to make so much money, I am very disappointed that this site is now being commercialised in this way. Although the article stated that commercial elements (subscription, commission, advertising etc.) would not be brought in until after the summer, I am extremely upset and feel like the entire community has been betrayed. I for one will be turning to the new google-maps feature MapQuest for my mapping needs from now on.

    LOL! Hope you were in on the joke Jacktannery or well... just LOL!

    Seriously though... all websites should have a My Little Pony theme by law.
    Royal: I'm very sorry for your loss, your mother was a terribly attractive woman.
