• 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....

A word about signature boxes..

I was just looking at a thread where someone put a whole list of their animals into the signature box. Now I know that goes on over in my CornSnakes.com site, but I want to nip that in the bud right now before it catches on here.

Please limit your signature area to NO MORE than 4 lines. That's four (4) SHORT lines at that. It is very distracting to see a page all filled up with text in the signature area and I do not want that happening on this site.

This is a signature area to help identify yourself, not a place to put down your life history or a list of animals you own.

Consider this a warning. If I find messages that are infractions of this request, I will have no choice but to edit them myself. I probably won't take the time to notify people of the infraction, so if most of your 10 line signature area mysteriously vanishes, you'll know what happened.
