    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....

Glossary of Terms?

I am new to this site. Many of the posts contain terms and acronyms that I dont understand. Is there a glossary anywhere on this site that explains them?
For example, many posts are followed by other posts that just say "bump" or "bump###" or some variation of that. What is an OP? Just wondering.
 
"Bump" is just a tern used to basically move a thread back to the top of a forum, basically "bumping it" back to the top. You see that a lot in the classifieds section, where people try and keep their ads at the top.

As for "OP" I believe that stands for "Original Poster", the person who started a thread in the first place:)

Not "tern", Term, lol

Yep. :yesnod:

As for a glossary, no there isn't one but you can always post here asking about any further ones you come across and I'm sure you'll get an answer shortly.
