    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....

Let's PARTEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!USARK sign-up !!!!!!

Would like to get 100 people signed up to USARK today!!! So let's have a virtual party and get it done!
If you are already a member, show off your Tshirt. Anyone getting the notion can start a wet USARK t-shirt contest!!!
PARTY!!!!!!!! :?party:

They have this great deal:


Bronze Sustaining Member – Individual ($5/month)

Receive newsletter
2 USARK T-shirts

So I signed up using Paypal, $5/month. And I get two Tshirts :D
I can donate more as time goes on and we see evidence of performance. Plus I'm hoping we can volunteer our labor and skills too, if the new USARK is what I hope it is, participation can mean more than just funding.
 
Sarah Haynes and I already signed up today so let's see 98 more!! You only need to have $5 to start the deal above where you get billed every month so it is a painless way to start. And you get TWO t-shirts!!! You could send one of them to Harald!!
Harald, I'd love to see you in a USARK t-shirt :)

I usually do the $40 a year, declined a 2011 tshirt, asked for a 2012 but didn't get one. here is an old photo showing some USARK pride in my 2010 shirt:

I signed up today as well. Declined the shirts as I already have a couple, but no pictures of me in one. (Sorry, I hate having pictures taken)

I'll give more as I'm able to, of course, but I think the $5 a month sustaining member level is a fantastic idea.
 
Yay!!! A signup from Shadi!!!:D

96.

I'm usually a lurker around here but with the recent events (Wyatt, Foose, etc.) I felt I needed to start to contribute so you can add me to the number who signed up today.
 
I will definitely try to get a pic of me with one of my snakes once the shirt arrives. :) That would be a fun thing to do for everyone that joins.
