• 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....

I tried to leave a trader rating for someone and got a message saying that I am not allowed to leave one. The deal was great and it would be nice to be able to leave positive feedback regarding it.

Is this now a pay option?


SPJ, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Yep, been that way for over a year now. There is too much opportunity for abuse if just any unverified registered member could post on the GGC polls as well as the Trader Ratings. It would be a colossal headache having to field complaints from participants in the GGC program when someone registered a half dozen false accounts here in order to blast someone they didn't like with negative votes just to get them booted out of the GGC program.

Thanks but no thanks. So I figured an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure in this situation.
