    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....

Everyone just a heads up!! Ben Shotts has now made a new account named "whirlwind". I've compared his dragons for sale with pics of the ones from his old account and his fb page at Vivid dragons and am sure it's the same guy. Not to mention this new account was made right after I created this thread about him.

Here's his new page under Whirlwind:

And here's his fb:

Thank you for this and I apologize for missing this post before. Luckily, he drew attention to it like the shining star he is by trying to report another post in this thread. I could have gone years without noticing if not for his brilliant move. A round of applause for Ben Shotts outing himself under a duplicate account when it went unnoticed, everyone! Not only was that the stuff of mental legend on its own, it allowed me to make this response which brings it right back to the top of the page for even more attention. :D
 
FAUNA REMOVE THIS POST NOW. THIS IS DEFAMATION, SLANDER, AND HARASSMENT. THESE ARE PERSONAL PICTURES OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS STOLEN FROM PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROFILES. I'VE WARNED YOU MULTIPLE TIMES. YOU CONTINUE TO DRUM UO INFRACTIONS WHILE YOU BREAK THE ACTUAL LAW. I WILL SUE IF THIS POST IS NOT REMOVED. THIS IS ALSO CLASSIFIED AS STALKING ON SARAHS PART AND YOURE HOSTING THE HARASSMENT.
 
As we can all see the owner of this site is an ass who thinks he is above the U.S. law I went about this patiently and gave many chances. My lawyer will be contacting sarah gambino and her parents as she's a minor and the legal owner of fauna. I was not kidding you can't do this to people these laws exist for a reason.
 
You will be terribly missed. Sorry that reading and the rules were so challenging for you. If/when you come back, perhaps you should invest in the assistance of a patient tutor.
 
A nearly year later after you played a bait n switch on the OP and her very last post here about you, and you have the audacity to come back with a new phony duplicate account, you want to threaten with the "my lawyer" crap? :face_palm_02:

YOU are the one who committed fraud on that original transaction with Sarah, YOU are the one who made a new false account here, YOU are the one who chose to post your personal pics on a PUBLIC site and yeah, YOU are the one who dredged this up again, evidently. There is NO stalking, defamation or harassment on anyone's part. Only your obvious bait and switch way back then.

Yeah, take your "case" to your non-existent lawyer.

If what this 'Whirlwind' person posted is true, I'm most impressed that the owner of this successful site is a minor, way to go!

Lol, I went back to look at their post, and it's just terrible grammar. He means the girl is a minor, who will get a letter from his lawyer, in addition to Webslave also getting a letter.

Speaking of, so how's that going for you, Whirlwind?

Webslave is this sites owner not Sarah.

I'm aware of that? Whatever gave the impression otherwise? He's threatening Sarah AND Rich with letters from lawyers for different reasons, I don't understand what the confusion is here other than he has atrocious grammar.
