• 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 just did some checking and found that there were 110,000 (!) thread subscriptions on this site that were older than 30 days. Many from members who haven't been here for a while, and many for threads that have been inactive for a very long time. Certainly a bunch with invalid email addresses as well.

I just deleted ALL of them that were older than 30 days. Too much clutter and it needed to be cleaned up.

If anyone has particular threads they want to keep tabs on via subscription, you will have to renew it for that particular thread.

Sorry, there was no other way to do this.
 
I'm not sure what you mean by deleted, but I still have subscriptions dating back two years. I have notifications turned off on them though. I went through my subscriptions a while back and deleted all but the ones that I needed to keep track of for whatever reason.
With the notifications turned off a reply still shows up in my CP but I assume the server resources aren't taking a hit without the emails being sent out.
