    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 feel i am being bullied

I understand but it's those who couldn't separate the fact from fiction who wouldn't be convinced of otherwise anyhow. :NoNo:

:confused::confused: I know that there is a Fauna clique, I have seen y'all post to each other about the foil hats and koolaid! :yesnod::yesnod:

If a Fauna clique does/does not exist then there is no need for me to give up my day job, which I am in the process of giving up as soon as I find the Fauna clique which does/does not exist.:rofl:

Careful what you wish for. It's not all fun and games. We have weekly meetings about who we are going to bully (come on, do you really think we just pick someone randomly? It take almost the full week to determine which of the non-clique members we are going to focus our attention towards) for the following week and by the chance they leave for whatever reason we have to have a back up list of people to gang up on as well, we can't have down time with no one getting bullied. :NoNo: We also have to decide who gets what severity of our attention. It is all a complicated process. We wouldn't want to push someone too fast and shorten our fun with them leaving before we are done with them.

On top of that we have to vote on who is going to join our elite ranks. Other Fauna clique members can refer those people they think would like to see join to be voted on to join the Fauna clique. We will then take the following week or longer if need be to look over the potential candidate to determine if they will be able to fill the shoes of clique member of Fauna.

We as clique members have to pay a quarterly fee into a fund so that we have the monies to pay off Rich and the moderators so that they will allow us to get away with all the things we do that non-clique members can not get away with.

So see, being a Fauna clique member is not as simple as it seems to those who are not clique members. It is a complicated process to become a Fauna clique member. Once becoming a member you are expected to fulfill your duties of bullying non-clique members and you will be supervised by senior clique members to ensure you are bullying as a Fauna clique member is expected to do.

I can think of a couple of sites where this will likely be posted verbatim with their self congratulatory back patting for knowing about this all along... :rolleyes:
 
*putting on my tinfoil hat*
I knew it all along!! There's a big government conspiracy against all of us small time hobby reptile owners! You're the ones stealing my spoons!! ALL OF THEM!! Stop it! How can I eat my soup with no spoons? It's cruel and unusual and I'm sending all my ninja against you to steal all of your socks! Retaliation is nigh! NIGH!!!! NIGH!!!! *twitch twitch*

Ahem. I'm finding this amusing, and I have no doubt there's certain folks pointing and going "See, they messed up and admitted it! I bet they take down that post fast!" Now I'm going to go have an icy pop and see what sort of things my gecko is up to.

To skip being voted in send me five pounds of coffee and I will let you bypass the process. I will even type up an admission certificate that you can proudly display.
(only show it to other clique members.)
 
I tried that - most of it leaked out the corners of the box, the rest saturated the cardboard.
Needless to say, I didn't get in :(
 
Hey all I just had a meeting with Big foot, Elvis, Nessy, and a couple little green dudes, they wanted me to let you all know they hired Bobba Fett to hunt you all down and make you pay for letting the cat out of the hat on this secret clique!

I tried to explain to them it was Cat out of the bag and not hat, but after big foot threatened to break my neck for argueing with him, I fully agreed with "cat out of the hat".

All these people complaining about this clique are actually complaining about not being in it. I don't know what the problem is, getting in was easy, so easy a cavemen could do it. :rofl:
