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

Success always comes at a price....

Things have been really hopping around here lately with new registrations and the classifieds being quite active. So while I was away this past week, I started getting notices from my server that the backup volume was at 91 percent of capacity :ack2: Obviously that means the main drives are running close to the edge as well, so that means a hard drive upgrade will have to be in the works pretty shortly. Hopefully I can do this without a complete server move, but with newer and faster technology available, this might wind up being the best choice. Certainly not for ME, however, as server moves always have my yanking more and more of those "short in supply" hairs out of my head for weeks afterwards.

Anyway, just a heads up that SOMETHING is going to have to happen REAL SOON.

Probably a good thing I wasn't away for a month. Not sure what would happen if those volumes filled to capacity, but I suspect things would come to a crashing halt...
 
Just get one of them unlimited plans for 1.99 a week. THey say unlimited everything LMAO...

Man I don't miss that stuff at all bro!
 
Haha.... best reply ever!!

:rofl: i had just seen it the other day and i thad to say it.. i know this is off topic but did anyone ever notice that in the background of the sports almanac Back to the future which i believe is part 3.(not sure though) it says on Wrigley field that in 2003 the cubs would win the world series and that was the same year of " The Bartman incident " funny stuff :rofl:
 
Well, it appears I dodged that bullet this time. I think they just cleaned out some garbage from the backup drive and then made some changes in the way older backups are retained. But I'm sure I'll get to that bridge again sooner or later.... Hopefully not when I'm planning on taking a trip somewhere for a couple of weeks.
