• 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....

Please note there have been some changes in the Table of Paid Member Benefits.

I have just restructured the Paid Membership table stickied at the top of this forum, so please make note of the changes now in force.

A quick rundown here is in order:

  1. Paid membership is no longer a requirement for posting on the Board of Inquiry.
  2. The paid membership level icons are considered as indicators of those members being verified on this system via a payment vehicle to receive that status.
  3. The Karma system can no longer be used by nonpaid members.
  4. Uploaded attachments have been increased to 5 megabytes for Participant level members.
  5. Uploaded attachments have been made UNLIMITED for Contributor and above levels.
  6. Editing of posts within Discussion forums is restricted to Contributor and above levels and limited to 7 days after posting the thread or reply to a thread. That time limit may be increased in the future as conditions warrant it.

I think that is it. I also added the graphics for each level so there is a guide on that chart as to which icon goes with which membership level.

Thanks to all of you who have helped out financially with this site over the years. It is GREATLY appreciated.
