    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

2 mini female hamsters, 10 gallon cage, exercise wheel, bottle, top.

While female California rabbit 3 months about 6 lbs.

7 gray reptile bowls

Make offer, Houston area only, no shipping. Proceeds will be contributed the Fauna.

Please consider making this a contribution thread and offering your own stuff.

Please consider buying a membership even if you don't buy my hamsters :)
 
Excellent idea.

I've got a near new Mantis 2 cycle tiller I'll offer up. Was used once for about 5 minutes, and then has been in storage in my basement closet. Me = not much of a gardener. :rofl:

Take a look at what these retail for, and make me an offer. Pickup only, zip code 26301. I could possibly meet a little ways out. Payment would be sent directly to Rich/Fauna in support of the BOI, and I'll hand over the tiller. :thumbsup:

I will put up my holdback dumeril boa female from last year. $60 + shipping via www.shipyourreptiles.com. I live in the north Tampa, FL area. Willing to meet within reasonable distance.

She can be a picky feeder and only eats live mice so far. I haven't put much effort forth to change her over though. She was the biggest and prettiest out of the clutch last year. I have pics of the parents if anyone would like.

Maybe, running these as individual auctions in the classifieds might draw more funds for Fauna? I know we had a pretty good time and if I recall correctly darn successful when we had the sub-forum for auctions just for Fauna.
 
Honestly folks, I appreciate the gesture, but I really don't want to be smack dab in the middle of these transactions. If payment is sent directly to me, then I'm kind of the middle man. Suppose something goes wrong in the transaction? What then? Do I have to decide if the money gets refunded to the purchaser? This could be a very awkward position to be in.........
 
I agree with web-slave. It is an excellent idea, but once again he is put at right in the middle of things. The idea of contributions is good, BUT it needs to be modified so that web-slave is no way responsible for the transaction in progress. Or maybe only contributing members can access the BOI, AND click an agreement waiver. Pretty much waiving any and all liability on web-slave...just a thought.
 
Ok - send the money to me if you want one of the posters, and I will donate it myself. And I will post it here so everyone will know.

Will that work?

Ohhhh, I get it. Peeps are casting aspersions on my hamsters, right? Thinking that they may pay good money (I was looking for five bucks or so) and get second rate hamsters?

Well, FINE. (Any time a woman says well fine you know you are in some deep doodoo).

Buy the dang hamsters and give ME the funds and I'll send them along.

Better yet, just paypal five dollars to Fauna and say in the paypal note:

No thanks Lucille we don't want your stupid hamsters but here is a contribution fo Fauna or
Lucille, you're just a nice person so here is five bucks for Fauna on account of we like your posts.

My posts are worth at LEAST ten dollars so five bucks is a half off sale. :rolleyes:

Let's see some action here. Or I might threaten y'all with some polls :D.
 
Guess nobody wants hamsters OR posters, lol!

I will let my offer stand until somebody takes me up on it, or until Rich decides to definitely close the BOI, whichever comes first.

I forgot to add if anyone actually contributes to the above please notify me so that I can thank you from the bottom of my heart that I can keep the stupid hamsters or that (hopefully) you enjoy my writing. I of course cannot actually see any paypal note that you send to Fauna.
 
I said nothing about your hampsters for sale. I simply said that the contribution idea is good, BUT it needs to be modified so webslave is no way involved with the transaction if something were to happen.

Very understandable! Imagine having to deal with that BOI thread?:eek:

Who would be blamed? :no_evil01
