Typically, just as society collapses, RollOnFriday is doing better than ever.
With hundreds of thousands of lawyers free from their commutes, free from the prying eyes of supervisors and free from sensible limits imposed on their browsing time, a massive 50% more people than last year are piling on to the site each month, and spending double the amount of time noodling about once they arrive*.
It helps that more and more news sites are moving behind paywalls, closing down or dedicating themselves to pumping out drivel. But there are also thousands more people lurking on the RollOnFriday discussion board, where they're following the latest dramas, recommendations and requests for advice posted by roffers.
"Wow, we're doing gre-"
So thank you for your patronage, and forgive us for blowing our own trumpet while blowing trumpets can kill and while Trump is blowing up his country. Our only excuse is that it's the 20th anniversary of RollOnFriday this year. It appears unlikely, at this stage, that such a momentous milestone will get much of a look in when the history of 2020 is written. That's world-stopping pandemics for you - they giveth, and they taketh away. We hope you're doing OK, and thanks for reading.
*By the way, new readers, it's kind of the done thing to give us a tip.

Dear ROF,
You are not "news" and reporting on yourself is a Legal Cheek move.
Yours faithfully,
Laid off during Covid-19.

Discovered this site when I was an LPC student (07 - 08)… can't believe I'm still checking this site some 12/13 years later!
