• 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.....

    =====================


    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....

Email bombing...

I've been getting a few server error messages lately having to do with email that my server guy has been looking into. It appears the server is under some sort of email bombing attack through one or more accounts on this server. Fortunately the firewall and spam blocks are taking care of most of the crap, but it is still putting a load on the server. This is my server guy's specialty, as he is the one who pulled this site out of the fire during that DDoS attack a while back, so he's on top of it.

But in the meantime, I may have to disable email from my various message boards to try to reduce the overall loading on the server through the mail engine. This will disable all email functionality, including reporting posts, and inter-member emails, but unfortunately this needs to be done.

Sorry about that, but apparently someone(s) has a grudge against this site and/or me....
