• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Broken Link?

I just spotted one of the side ads that appear to the right of the screen for Reptile Racks new Ultra Series and clicked on the pic which brought up an unable to connect message. Ran the diagnostic learned there was nothing wrong with my connection which led me to believe the link itself might be broken.
 
I have not seen it pop up again since I posted. I was going to try it again myself. I believe the ads rotate randomly so it could appear anywhere but it will be one of the pictures to the right of your screen showing various gray colored enclosures on a black background.
 
Okay it just popped up again on http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/index.php
The best description I can give is as follows;
On a black background
“Repti – Racks
New
Ultra Series

Pic of a single enclosure
Pic of 4 enclosures

Repti-racks.com

Pic of a large single enclosure
Pic of an arboreal enclosure

Black Ultra
Now Available”

When I click on it I get;
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:

Don't know if this is helpful or not but there it is.
Thus far I have not had any problems with any of the other links leading from this site this evening which leads me to believe it is specifically that link.
 
If this is an ad that someone placed using my FaunaAds site, then they quite likely made a mistake when they keyed in the URL for their ad. This is something they will need to fix if they want their ad to show up properly.
