• 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....

Chat Rooms Simplified

When we did the upgrade here, I decided to eliminate the direct links between the various discussion forums and the chat system, since they were mostly going unused. 99 percent of the rooms in the chat system were not being utilized, so I felt it was senseless to keep them around. I couldn't see the sense in paying my programmer to do the coding necessary to bring that functionality over to the new system.

So, just a few minutes ago, I removed all of the superfluous chat rooms and consolidated them into generic Meeting Rooms #1 thu #3. I suspect they will not be heavily used either, but they are there if a few people want to get out of the lobby for a chat with some people away from the *crowd*.

I believe the CornSnakes, Ball Pythons, and Leopard Gecko rooms are still being used, so they have remained.

If anyone believes that another chat room is needed, get 50 signatures on a petition, attach it to a $20 bill and send it to me, and I will consider it..... :)
 
g/d it - I misread that........I got $50 together and 20 signatures.......Now I need to make 30 MORE friends! *sighs* I'll NEVER get my coffee room at this rate! :crazy03:
