    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Reminds me of a rave.

I think that's pretty rude. :/

I'm just voicing my opinions. You don't have to agree, but it'd be pretty cool if you were civil about it...

If only I was perfect. Woe is me.

Lori... I still don't know what happened with you, but I can't be on CS right now, so this site is just what I have. If you don't like it, might I suggest the Source? :/

Adam, you can't be on cs.com right now because you were banned for exactly this behavior. Do you realize how many people from CS come HERE as well? You can't hide from your mistakes, all you can do is take the advice of others and start over and try again, but you can't expect people to forget in the blink of an eye.

There's a story out there somewhere about a boy who used to say very mean things to people. His dad made him pound a nail into the fence every time it happened. One day he told his son to take out the nails. What was left were a bunch of holes in the fence. His dad said "that is what happens with your words. You can "take them back" but the holes will remain.

Now, I'm paraphrasing here, but I'm hoping you can get the general idea. You cannot dump all over people and then turn around twirling rainbows and lollipops and expect people to fawn all over you. You're 20 years old...how can you not have learned the consequences of your actions yet?

I'm not going to paint a target on my chest just so it's easier for everyone to shoot at me. I treat people how they treat me. I always, ALWAYS start out as kind and decent as possible. It's the way I am. It's part of my existance. What I am now is a reflection of the people I've seen on this site. And I don't like it. Hence my starting this thread in the first place.

Would whoever it was that tied the rope around this poor fellow's leg keeping him here, PLEASE untie it?
 
My only "mistake" is being socially awkward. And I'm sorry I am that way. I'm still learning what is okay and what is not. It's always nice to meet someone willing to help, but usually the "help" I get is an angry mob alerting me that what I've just said is unacceptable. :/

Lori... I apologized for my mistakes on CS, and you refused to accept my apologies... You know how upset I was over that. It still hurts me to think that you were so unwilling to listen to me for one second. :/ You were a very good friend of mine, and I wish it would have stayed that way...

I dunno. It's pretty hard to get anyone to understand what you're saying when everyone's all balled up together with their backs turned to you.

Thats okay though. I doubt it's gunna kill me.

Apparently he tied it himself.

He was able to go away for a week or so, right until he was banned from Cornsnakes- then he needed another audience for his whiney socially retarded crap and hey... look where he showed up.

How linked up are the CS and Fauna systems? I got some odd google results from ArmsLocker when looking up... well... myself, because sometimes I have too much free time... they seemed to be fauna messages showing up under one of your other domain names though.

You do maintain the sites as individual communities but... Well, if someone sets fire to your living room, would you really let them hang out in your kitchen?
 
ROFL! Now THAT'S funny!

Adam, I don't need an apology from you. You didn't do anything to me personally. I'm not the one who you should be apologizing to.

Like I said, I took a break from cs.com because you were all over every board there with drama. What is this "source" place? Are you a member? And what's "ArmsLocker?" It sounds like exactly the place I need at the moment.
 
I can't let this comment pass without being said...I would say Lori can say with confidence that she is a valued member of CS.com as opposed to you. :rofl:
 
...Wow. :/
This is the meanest community ever.

What am I supposed to say? Yay! Thanks for insulting me! You guys are the greatest!

:(
I dunno. I just don't know.

I guess I'll lurk around the site a little, but so far, this is a pretty hostile environment. I'm getting cussed at by people I've never even talked to. :/
And life goes on.

Adam, this is a GREAT forum from what I can tell. Everything about you is hostile...look at your signature! Does that convey warm fuzzies and bunnies? I don't think these people could be any nicer to you than they've already been. I'll ask you just this one more time to drop the drama and the attitude. Do that, and you might just be surprised.
 
...Are you kidding me?

Lori... I just went into chat, into a room full of people I have never spoken to in my life. They cussed at me, they made fun of my sexual orientation, and they were absolutely rude. All I talked about the whole time I was in there was snakes... And the name "Heather" :/

What about that isn't hostile?
I am really trying here, and I'm not getting anything back... You guys are telling me to give the site a second.. Third chance, and I am... I'm getting nothing back. :/

If this truly happened in the chat room, save the chat transcripts and report it to Rich. He didn't tolerate that sort of thing on CS.com chat and I can't see him tolerating that here in the chat. The chat is not HELL or the BOI.
 
Stephanie, I did not save the chat log. I exited out of frustration. I want to avoid blowing up again. :/

I don't feel welcome in there, and I don't want to start a big commotion, so I'm just going to stay out of there I guess. Although I am kind of running out of places to converse.

Oh well. Once again, it's not gonna kill me...

Who made fun of your sexual Orientation? I can save the chat logs if you want.

Adam, please read my earlier response again:

You don't dump all over a forum and then go into chat expecting open arms and hugs. Adam, I can see from your earlier posts that you're an intelligent person. Really, you're not THAT socially inept. Trust me, I have the social skills of a dung beetle, but it's really not that hard to get along in a public forum. Instead of starting out with "Hey, I'm Adam and you people suck!" you might try a different approach. Obviously your way is not working for you.

God how do I continue to let myself get sucked into the vortex of your drama?
