If only large organizations with lots of resources could afford to host discussion forums, then all discussion would be limited by the biases and agendas of those organizations. Pressure from advertisers and shareholders might influence their censorship decisions. Under those conditions, speech is no longer free. Grex hosts forums on such topics as music, the arts, cooking, writing, consumer information, finance, small businesses, philosophy, living with disabilities, men's and women's issues, and games. Anyone with a computer and modem or access to the Internet can use Grex for free, anonymously if they wish.
Funding comes almost entirely from donations, which are tax-deductible.
Grex gets no money from advertising. Because Internet bandwidth is limited, users are not allowed to store pictures on Grex.
