Until the verification code sent to the new email address is supplied, the account email will not be changed, the operation can be canceled at any time and the account will not get locked because of it.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
We wish happy holidays to all our users and partners.

- Non explicit sexual content; Strong Violence/Gore/Language
- Pornography; Excessive Violence/Gore/Language
Some ads have been automatically moved to "Teen", owners shall raise their rating if it's not correct.
Publishers shall modify the ratings and acceptance of their sites accordingly.
