Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Fetchnames - explain yours! :-)

Well I don’t doubt it with my level of creative thinking.

Seems like too much thought went in to that Dave...

You did cause Fetch to have to solve new problems in Tagging and so on. Along with 3M!

I started as Grrr for a while on Fetch. But there were complaints!

There're are a few that um and I've summarised from answers in the thread in a lovely Wiki article here:

Here is the list to read AND ADD YOUR NAME !!

Feel free to add your own name here and also in the article, in the style above.
