    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....

I say trash the other animals.

WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A REPTILE SITE.

While I get the format, I hear from other people ALL THE TIME that they dont. Theese are other ks users, people at trade shows, and now people at the shop.

As for getting people in the discussion forum, I dont know that that will happen anytime soon either. Lets face it, people are creatures of habbit, and if you have a group you allready post with on another forum, why post the same thing on another site.

I personally dont like to have the same add running 10 different places. Too much to keep track of. I have over 30 adds on ks right now, keeping up with them is hard enough when running the store, careing for animals, ect. Plus trying to play on a forum to boot is a time killer.

Back to the discussion forum, I know I follow the boa forum at KS. Thats the ONLY forum other then the BOI that I look at on the web (well plus mine now I must admit). Why no time for others. The only reason I still go to the boa forum on ks is because the TOP BREEDERS in the country post on it frequently. You see new exiting stuff, and its worth going. Ive done it for years, and dont see that habbit going away soon. Now if I post here, at best the only people who generally see it will be people who know your format, die hard herpers, who likely would have seen it on ks allready anways...lol.

I love your site, but I say again, kill the other animals. Dumb down the front page to IDIOT LEVEL, and then see what happens.

As to Rich Luna's selling his snakes here better then brokering on ks through a friend. THATS AGAINST TOS (SORRY COULDNT RESIST) Actually my point was going to be that you have such a GOOD STANDING HERE people trust to purchase from you, soo I can see it paying off. However from personal experience, and from other friends accounts, the adds dont pay off for others.

I will try and get in the habbit of posting adds here, and I will put specials on each one to gauge where the sales are from. If it works I will let others know as well.
