    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....

I appreciate the nomination and am genuinely flattered that people think of me, but I must respectfully decline. I have no interest in moderating here.
 
A few of the names I'd mentioned to Rich have already been nominated, but I'll step in and add LauraB to the pile
 
Please remember how this is going to work.
  • One or more members will be nominated by another member.
  • The nominated member(s) MUST accept the nomination.
  • Current mods can veto any of the nominations.
  • All accepted nominees will be listed in a new thread with a poll so all members can vote on them.

Just in case those details were overlooked....
 
I'd like to nominate:

LauraB
WiseReptiles
StrictlyExotics
Miss_Tuniwha
deborahbroadus
SPJ
Serpentsden
Twizted Paths

Wow, thanks guys...I accept :). It means a lot that you thought of me, and I really appreciate it...thank you!

I also want to throw a few names into the mix...(most have already been mentioned)

Annabella May (Twizted Paths)

If there was an FC feature, where Bell can be credited Karma from me anytime that she posts...it would save my index finger a lot of clicking :D. No matter what topics she tackles...her posts go a long way. She's very knowledgeable, and has a lot of common sense. I mean, even her posts in HELL have substance :). IMO, Bell would help you out a ton, Rich...and she is already well respected. Bell & Mod are a perfect fit. :thumbsup:

Deborah Broadus-Muskauski (deborahbroadus)

I've always wondered why she's not yet a Mod. She conducts herself very well, and (IMO) is a benefit to the threads that she participates in. I respect her greatly, and am sure others do as well.

David Gruning (DAND)

There are too many things to list as to why I believe Dave would be a great Mod. True, he has had his faux pas. However, if he was placed within the Mod rank, I do believe he would approach certain situations more appropriately. I'm confident that he wouldn't disappoint you, Rich.

Dean Stemple (StrictlyExotics)
&
Jeff and Christina Wise (WiseReptiles)
(with WiseReptiles, FC will be getting two Mods for the price of one :D)

These guys are vigorously campaigning, either for this site or for people who have found themselves in hard times. When Jeff is not jumping butt naked into a sewage canal for FC donations...him and Christina are tirelessly working towards helping Maggie and Rick out. When Dean isn't donating to the BOI fund...hes providing much needed support to Maggie and Rick, as well.

Such tenacity displaced by both, WiseReptiles and StrictlyExotics, shows that they will do everything in their power to help better FC. They are genuinely GOOD people, with everyones (including this sites) best interests in mind. I think they would do you proud, Rich! :thumbsup:
 
Looks like those that I would nominate have already been by other parties :D, with one exception. I nominate Alicia Holmes (Mooing Tricycle).

With the caveat that I am free to pick Harald's brain whenever needed (of course never during dinner though :rofl:), I humbly accept the nominations made for me.

Thank you guys. I appreciate the nomination, I believe in Fauna and it's vision. However, I am already a Mod at one forum: www.rcreptiles.com (an information resource only) and I don't believe that I could give Fauna the attention it deserves.

*Also, being a Mod here SCARES me! :) This is serious (imo) and joking aside, I hope people give serious thought to who is nominated to REPRESENT Fauna and all it stands for.

I couldn't agree more with the part in bold.
 
I'm too mouthy to be a Mod, it's fine for me just posting but I don't think I'd be a good full time Fauna Rep.

So in the best interest of Fauna I decline.
 
Just to make this a little easier on Rich, the following members have accepted their nominations:
Brandi Hockaday (Miss Tuniwha)
Rick Morro (TattooLost)
Dean Stemple (Strictly Exotics)
John Cordone (TheFragginDragon)
Nicholas Hrabowski (Polasian)
Maia Goldworm (JordanAng420)

(I'll update this list periodically)

i politely decline :) But john, thank you very much for the thought.

ive been taking a massive break as far as the forum stuff goes, and i just dont have the ambition/time to take on that sort of job.

Id like to say that i think Brandi would do a fine job, and John as well. Rick too.

Whoever gets the nomination, Good luck to you! and Congrats!! :)
