    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....

Add site not working

Yeah, I got tired of deleting the spam links put on there, so I just renamed the program. Until I can get around to putting in code to wipe the spam crap, use this URL to add your link: http://www.faunatopsites.com/edit_pass.cgi

Sorry, but the spammers are just getting way out of control on the net. Or maybe the reverse.. maybe they are now IN control... :rolleyes:
 
Sorry.... I'll deal with this when I have some time to do so. Maybe later tonight....
 
Well, honestly, I am thinking hard about just going to a different script entirely for the FaunaTopSites program. The one I am using has some notable deficiences, the most glaring of which is the lack of any spam blocks whatsoever. There are others, which are more minor, but honestly, I think it may just be time for me to move on to something else.

Problem is that the data in the old system will not be transportable to the new system and ALL current members would have to sign up again for the new system. Unless I can locate a programmer who would be willing to tackle such a job. But I doubt it would be worth the money I would have to spend to do that.

The biggest chore is going to be making up a bunch of new banner icons. Unless I decide to recycle the old ones, which quite frankly, I am just tired of seeing.

Anyway, just thought I would let you know my thoughts on this. I'll post more on this site once I make a decision about what I want to do.

Thanks.
 
Well if thats the case then ill join when you redo it yea your better off doing that im kinda a programer no to the extent of this but it really wouldnt be worth the cost i would just start over it will be the same site and banners for you or you changeing that too
 
Webslave,

email me at mike at scaly skins.com and we can talk about the programming you need done. I think a good PHP and MySQL database system would be rather easy to do.

We can also talk about moving the existing data into a new system...... I am also willing to work for trade :yesnod:

Mike
