• 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.....

    =====================


    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....

What matters most is that you felt like doing it THIS Christmas. I'm not sure exactly how many were banned and who they all are, but I'm hoping that those you welcomed back will not disappoint you.

Happy 2007, Rich!

Thank you.

I really hope so. I did some SERIOUS cringing when I unbanned a few of them. I know no one will die if they get banned from here, but I guess all I can hope for is that this site proves interesting and worthwhile enough to be a deterrant to people who may get banned by future actions on their part. Enough people have asked to come back after being banned that perhaps that is the case with at least some of them...... :shrug01:

Time will tell, I guess.

Well, you aren't the last to know....I was off on vacation over the holidays, and saw that there were some old familiar faces around when I returned, but didn't know why or how....and reading this, I must say I am very pleasantly surprised.

Welcome back to those who have returned, and kudos to you as well, Rich. :thumbsup:
