• 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.....

    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....

Applause,Applause,Applause!!!!!!!!!!!!

:iagree::iagree: Hark the Harald Angles sing...
 
NO QUESTION about that!!!

Harald is the "voice of reason" IMO.

On top of that, I've noticed that Harald knows when/what to post on certain threads which have a very emotional subject matter. Such threads can get real depressing, real quick. That's when Harald comes in and posts a witty joke to lighten the mood.

I think that's essential in keeping things civil and to help people not take everything so seriously.

:thumbsup: Harald!

Wow...thank you. Most people just think I'm a pain in the :bleep: that has no life (both of which are fairly accurate assessments).




(btw - giving credit where it is due, I may stick my nose in a lot things, but I get a LOT of help finding it all. You wouldn't believe the number of PMs I get from people that catch that first whiff of things going bad)
 
Actually, Harald seems to be doing all of the work around here. Every time I go to check on a reported post, he's already handled it. Maybe I'll hand over the new registration audits so I don't have to do a darn thing at all.... :hehe:
 
Stepping back...SIR!!!
You think you get a lot of name change requests now, wait til I start sending everybody to you to put their revised locations in...:rofl:

You are definitely appreciated Harald! ( even the spelling of your name is speshel :))

That's been changed. I just helped someone who PM'ed me (the "Room Monitor" I'm guessing :rofl:) asking me that question. Sorry if I stepped on any ones toes taking care of the newbie question.

As for the topic of this thread, I do have to agree, Harald definitely seems to have jumped right in the deep end and has been doing laps since. :thumbsup:
 
I'm about as apolitical as I can be. Leave my guns and my snakes alone, and stop screwing with me...hmmm, you know, I bet that platform WOULD get me elected.

Add knives to that and I'd vote for you. Don't see why I can shoot someone but can't stab them instead :shrug01:
