    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....

Info Contributions 'n Stuff

Thanks to those who participated and many thanks to those who contributed funds to benefit Fauna.
I've done everthing I could to make this thread funny and appealling.

Those who don't have funds, I hear you, for many people right now money is tight.

But not everyone is destitute.


There are over a thousand people a day who visit this site, and I'm thinking that a few of them could have kept this thread going, and funny, and contributed even a dollar. But didn't.

I guess I'm sort of bummed about trying so hard here and have so few people help in what is obviously a funny fundraiser.

So, why?
 
I don't know lucille~ I tried too. But~ as it happens I know I can help........

Expect my payment....and please feed them an all corn diet for the next couple days~ if corn finished beef is good then corn finished hamster should be great!
 
Thank y'all, and Cheryl you have been very generous, I just sent your additional contribution to Fauna (although since all the contributors have been very specific about not wanting to take possession of these adorable hamsters I'm sure direct funding would be OK)
 
Hi Everyone! If it is ok with the moderators, I would like to offer the reptiles previously listed in an auction-style manner. I will offer the following reptiles with a starting bid as listed below, and on Tuesday September 1st at 5 pm PDT the one with the highest bid will get the reptiles. We can ship them FedEx overnight for a flat $35.00 or they can be picked up at the NARBC show on the weekend. As mentioned before, the sale of the reptiles is between Switzer Reptiles and the buyer. Money received for the reptiles (minus shipping and paypal fees) will simply be donated to Fauna.

Linda, if you want to place in ad in the appropriate classified sections with a link to this thread, that would be fine too. So those looking in the individual sections can find this.
 
So we have the go-ahead to do some fund raising as long as the deal is between the buyer and ourselves and we make sure everyone is happy before the money is donated to Fauna?

If so, I'll go find a couple snakes I can part with and put up an ad.

All bids raised. Actually there is a couple things I really want on there.
I like this idea.

The only thing I have no desire for the bearded dragon so if I happen to win the whole lot I will happily put the dragon back up for auction or sell raffles for him/ her at the next show I do and donate it back here.
