• 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....

Some people don't know what they have...

Maybe you, y'know - being the "pro" you are, should make it a goal to educate the masses. Or at least post all their ads in a public forum for ridicule.
 
Yikes, a day later, still can only hear crickets after that one...chirp...chirp

No response from the pro?
 
There's obviously an argument I haven't seen going on here, because this doesn't seem a logical reaction to the original post about the Craigslist $400 python...

Even the discussion in that link seems to stem from something earlier, it surely isn't JUST a discussion of a name choice?

No Helen it doesn't. It's the simple fact that Shadera doesn't like what I named my company so every time I post anything she makes some sort of negative reply.
 
Not sure where the photo originated from but that image has been around, and has been used by some scammers, for years. So, I would say that Ad is yet another attempted scam.
Although, due to wording, I guess it does fit with the title of this thread.;)

I'm not sure, I just like to post funny ads I find. Probably is a scam or something but still made me laugh! :rofl:
