• 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....

April 1, 2005 - NEW Classified system will be fully implemented.

The reputation system really has nothing at all to do with how someone does business. It applies to the types of messages people post on this site and what people think about what they write. Matter of fact, I would take steps to curb that sort of useage as not being appropriate for what it was intended, if I see it being used that way.

Although some people may interpret if differently from what it was designed for, I would rather not support that sort of usage in people's buying decisions by tying it in with a system where it really is not appropriate.

I agree. I myself have given people a "disagree" vote here and there, but it is just that, I disagree with their post for different reasons. Sometimes it's for things like profanity, other times just because I think they are way on the wrong (in my opinion) side of the fence, other times it is because they are outright @__holes, or unethical, etc. In the case it's because they are @__holes, or unethical, or whatever, I definitely wouldn't consider a purchase, but look at times when people like Dan S., and what's his name? (the crutchfield worshipper) I think he had some red for a while when he first started that crutchfield thread, but I don't think either of them, and some others, were ever "bad guys" as it pertains to the actual hobby.
