    **************************************************
    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....

Is there any way to renew an ad? Or do you have to just cut and paste and then repost the add?

The way this is supposed to work if via a program running on the server that sends you a notice when your current ad is getting close to expiring to give you the option to renew it. Quite honestly, I have no idea if that works or not as I haven't tested it.

Has anyone actually gotten that renewal notice for their expiring ads?
 
This is one of the failings of the program, and one of the reasons I am not emphasizing it's use any longer. There is a CRON job (for those of you who know what this is) that is supposed to run periodically to check on expired ads, auction bids, etc., which just is not working properly. I paid the developer to do the install and get everything properly, which obviously was not done. One of these days I may look into it myself to see what is needed to fix it, but quite honestly, the bloom is off the rose on that software package.

Some people still like it, so I left it active for those who prefer to use it. But it's offered as an "as is" condition.
