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

Don't be so quick with the applause, please. If history here has been any guide, I fully expect him to come back after his temp ban has expired with a profanity laced swan song for his final exit from the stage.

So there you go. It's not often that I give someone the opportunity to prove me wrong..... :D

But no, he will not be allowed to advertise his animals for sale here any longer. He will need to find some other place to do that.

I don't feel that anyone should profit from a site that they have done so much wrong to the owner. If you can't be polite and understanding to the OWNER, then make a donation, then turn around and dispute that donation, you should no longer be able to profit from that site. He needs a swift kick in the butt.

As anatomically improbable as it is, I think he has done that to himself. When people come to the BOI to check to see reports of his transactions and how they went, and then read this thread, who in their right mind would do business with him and actually send him money for anything after seeing his underhanded, ungrateful, fraudulent shenanigans here?

:iagree:
 
Unfortunately, not everybody checks the BOI and a bad guy thread only works if they do. I for one am happy to see folks like this guy not able to advertise at all.
