• 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 working for anyone else..?..

Dang it!

I just went in and restarted the chat engine. It appears to be working again. PLEASE let me know if this happens again. It may be that the new and improved version I went to is just buggy. I did back up the old files so I can go back to it, if I need to.

Sorry.....
 
Ok, I still have the boxes and all the stuff that is suppose to be there except for the text. However this time I can see the participants names. I can still types, however once I hit enter it dissapears into internet oblivion.

hm, such a quandry...:confused:
 
chat rocks!

I downloaded it only last week so it should be current.

I just tried chat again and it seems to be working for me again.

Thanks so much,
missy
 
I had to restart the chat engine again.

I also sent an email to the guy I hired to do some of this admin stuff. He loaded in a different java engine and I have asked him to replace it with the one I was using previously.

I am beginning to get highly irritated.....

Nothing like trying to get interest built up in something and having it flop on its face every couple of days.....
 
so i just entered the (empty:)) chat room & a window pops up & tells me i'll be "kicked off for flooding".wth is flooding?
 
Jeff I have no clue on the flooding but we was in the chat lastnight and early this morning and it crashed or something it keep kicking us out.Part of the computer world I reckon.And Webslave I am not complaining at all man I love this site and what you do here is awesome everything takes time to perfect!!!
 
We are trying something with the chat board to see it if temporarily fixes the problem until I can find the install instructions for the other java server module. Every morning at 4 am EST, the chat system will be restarted. The current Java module being used may have a timeout mode that kills idle processess. So yeah, if you are on at 4am, you will get kicked out when the system resets itself.

As far as the "flooding" problem, next time someone gets that message could you cut and paste it for me so I can send it to the developer? Might be a bug in his software or it could be another problem with that java software.

Sorry about the hassles.....
 
I can't get into the chat either. It loads everything up to the point where it tells me how many people are in the room but it doesn't load the names of the people.
 
Maybe I should just give this all up and go live in a cave with some Tibetan monks. Some place where there isn't a computer for hundreds of miles in any direction.......
 
webslave

Would it be possible to room with you on the place ? I am having a mental breakdown myself lol i wish i could just for once send myself via email to the SOB's that sit on there duffs and write virus programs ...

Take a deep breath ... step away from the computer and put down the sledge hammer :smash:
 
Actually, I'm thinking seriously of taking the .50 caliber out and shoot it some tomorrow to "relax". I was going to shoot up my older computer, but I replaced the power supply and that fixed it. Dammit...... :AR15firin
