• 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....

Be sure to check the original post date on ads before replying!

I know it's usually over-looked, but occasionally people respond to a classified post that is over a year old. Sometimes the advertiser hasn't even been on-line here at Fauna since the day they posted the ad, so they may not see your response here. Your best bet is probably to send them an email, especially if they provide an address in the ad. Otherwise, you can click on their user name and select "email" from the menu that pops up.

If you need help posting an ad, please feel free to ask. Also, if you would like your ad thread locked after you've sold the animal/item, just let me know.

Thanks

Can't you delete the new ads after you've sold?
 
I'm not sure if you can completely delete them or not....but even if you cannot, I would think you could at least edit the information to read SOLD...?

To the best of my knowledge, only certain memberships can delete posts. I could be wrong. Also, instead of deleting them I think it would be better to leave them up for reference, especially if members want to link to the ad when they leave feedback, etc. Mostly though, I just wanted to stick a reminder at the top of the forum. Quite a few people have responded to ads without noticing the posting date, which is understandable since the ads don't automatically expire after a certain time period.
