    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....

Did somebody get a spanking?

Seriously though, is the OP just going to hide or is he going to man up?
 
Nope, I don't see the OP returning any time soon to respond. He's the one whose been "spanked" and he has no reason to return.


So ... how 'bout we let this thread just wither & die since it really is has no substance; nothing to offer in the way of buying/selling; has gone completely OT and has basically served the purpose of (rightfully) totally discrediting the OP.

I'm thinking: hide like a rat in a big tub full of hungry monitors saying "I am a piece of pine bark, I am a piece of pine bark".

Dude! I went to bat for you. C'mon. Man-up already. Don't be lizzard chow. You pooped in your bed, but we'll help you clean yourself up - ok, I mean you can help yourself get cleaned up...


*Must... stay... on.. topic...*
 
JEEEEEEEEZE what a stupid thing to post in the BOI about. Its hard to stay on topic when the original post was so far off topic from the intent of the BOI. I actually asked a mod the same exact question as I am bad at navigating forums and couldn't find the reason although i already had a good idea. I recieved the same response while it may come off as harsh i fully understand the reasoning with the mass amounts of PM's they were probably recieving they probably had the answer copied so they can paste it into the responses. I appologized for waisting the time of the mod and that was the end of it. Imagine the time everyone could have back had this person handled it in the same manner. Pardon this but what a rediculous post!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
You know, it's really a shame he just hides like a coward. There was another thread today I was posting in, and one of the participants was a 15 year-old seller who was being hounded by the buyer basically because the dragon that was sold was possibly an inch shorter than the guy had estimated in the advertisement. Well after about 5 or 6 pages, the OP (buyer) realized he was on the losing side, so I posted something like what I posted here about a apology, which at first the guy scoffed at (I think I would rather sand-paper a bobcat's butt in a phonebooth than have to apologize publicly), but about a page or two later, and after he cooled down a little, according to him, he had thought about the situation, and wrote the kid a graciously sincere apology. What did the kid do in return? He basically apologized as well for any misunderstandings. There wasn't any 'told-u-so', or any more hostility. We all exchanged underwear and sang Kumbayah, had a group hug, and now all is lovely to look at and delightful to hold. All because the OP was man enough to admit he screwed up and was not perfect.
BTW, I also coined a new term for the syndrome where someone posts a bad-guy BOI thread prematurely without thinking it through: Premature-e-postulation. :rofl:

Ahhhh - I crack myself up...
 
So, I have a simple issue with replying to inquiries on my advertisements...I forward my question/concern to the moderator as I'm sure is appropriate and here is the reply I get back..

ME: Why is it that whenever I try to "post-reply" it tells me that I do not have sufficient privlidges? I utilize the PM but I would also like to use the before mentioned option as I should be able to.

ME: "The link provided was inaccessible to me and the part that I could get to just went on-and-on about BOI stuff"....My email reply was: What does this have to do with my question?...can I just get a straight answer without having to decipher the inner-meaning of the boi chat....I just want to do business.

FAUNA: Did you read the thread I provided a link for?

ME: It just ran on with people bitching about the boi...

FAUNA: Read it again, please, and TELL me what the very post in that thread
> that I made SAYS in relation to the problem you contacted me about.

ME: Just forget it...I thought this could be a simple fix but all this back and forth is taking longer than it should have....I wonder though, if I were a contributing member would I receive this level of service?

FAUNA: And yet you continue to waste my time rather than READING and trying to comprehend the thread I pointed you to. The answer to your original question is there, but you seem to be having quite some difficulty
grasping it.

Sorry that I am apparently unable to get through to you.

***ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT THIS STARTED OUT CLEAN AND ENDED UGLY....WHAT A &^%$!......THIS MADE MY DECISION NOT TO BE A CONTRIBUTOR VERY EASY....

Translation, "I need someone to hold my hand" :bawling: "and since you hurt my widdle feewlings I won't become a contributing member now" :bawling:

:nopity:Awwww, tough $@#&!:nopity:

Becoming a contributing member would be more to your benefit then to this site's benefit, but hey it's your decision and you have every right to screw yourself. Good luck selling anything by limiting yourself by NOT being a contributing member. :rofl:
 
Men, have you had problems in the past with poor online performance? Have you ever had a time when you wished you could have held out a little longer before you started that BOI bad-guy thread? Have your partners ever mentioned to you that they wish you could have held off a little longer before making a complete mess of your reputation. What you could be suffering from is premature-e-postulation, a completely preventable condition that is common among individuals ranging in age from 7 to 70, and can be cured with a new treatment option known as apologetics.
Yes apologetics has been found in several clinical trials to cure premature-e-postulation in both men and women! No more wishing you had just held off a few minutes longer and thought about what you were actually typing away. No more banishment to unknown places where less-than-savory individuals roam. No more hushed whispers behind your back by people who actually do think before they type. Yes with your first treatment of apologetics, you'll notice a 'load' taken off your shoulders. You'll be able to hold your head up high knowing the next time you post, it probably won't end early with people laughing at you rather than with you.
How do you get started with apologetics? Well that's easy. No 800 #. No money down. No payment plans. Just two easy words to type: I'm Sorry. There, now doesn't that feel better?

Disclaimer: Apologetics is not for everyone. Only those who possess true character may benefit with this treatment option. Apologetics is dose-dependant. In other words, just because you use apologetics once does not license you to make a butt out of yourself afterwards. Those using apologetics may feel a slight tingling sensation and feelings of euphoria afterwards. It is ok to operate automobiles and heavy machinery while on apologetics - in fact it is encouraged. Please allow 15 minutes minimum to pass after taking first dose. Side effects may include a better self-image, increased friends, and mustache growth.
 
Sounds like another/new scam from the Cult of $cientology to me...like "Dianetic$", etc.

I'll stick to behaving myself so I don't HAVE TO apologize!!
 
OK gang, time to cease with the sideline posting here. The OP has apparently abandoned this thread and ridden off into the sunset, and I think everything that needs to be said, already has been said.
 
Well, what do you know? He DID come back. And doesn't seem to have changed one bit, in my opinion.

You're absolutely correct...You are in no way an asshold to people on here...You only bitch and complain every time anyone asks you a question and complain about how you have to waste you time answering the dumb questions...It must be exceptionally hard being as sophisticated and educated as you are while being surrounded by us ignorant-ass people.....Whats funny about this is you have the balls to make a post on the BOI about how the trend of people being treated poorly should stop and you're taking it seriously when YOU are one of the main reasons why people dont post......I'm quite sure it must be a terrible existence to sit on your ass and answer questions people might have....Funny thing though that my trader rating only went to shit after arguing with you a couple months ago.....Either way, no need for you to waste your time and reply..I know you're a jerk and you dont want to waste your precious time.....I cant believe I just contributed $25....That will have to be my bone-head move of the year.....Take care.

That was a simple answer. Sorry it wasn't simple enough for you. Did you or did you not ASK what the best way was to ask this question? And when I answer you, you want to get all huffy on me? And you call Me RUDE? :rofl:

Perfect example of why I think you're rude to people on here....A simple question that warrants a simple answer....

Why do I have a -100+ trader rating and a red block but I only have one positive comment and zero negative comments? If this is not the manner of asking questions please let me know what the best way is....?


:rolleyes:
 
FWIW - I STILL get PMs from members asking why they cannot post replies in the classifieds...
 
Ok ZOO I am farely new hear and I have to say, it took alot of homework to figure out the site. I did alot of reading and self teaching to get things right. This is a site to SELL, BUY, CHAT, SOCIALIZE, and LEARN. Even I had to LEARN buy reading, you are no different than the everyday person who comes to this site and has to learn, NOT BE TOUGHT! LEARN! I am very satisfied with all the information on the BOI. The BOI is a tool, you wher given the tools to get all the information you desire. Do not put yourself above learning something new!! Except the help you wher given and LEARN the way we all have.
 
FWIW - I STILL get PMs from members asking why they cannot post replies in the classifieds...

I'm sure you always will. It's the easy way, or the lazy way, whichever you prefer. By sending a pm, they don't have to do the research themselves. This site is pretty easy to figure out really. I think this site has gotten more user friendly lately. I don't have time to post much any more in forums, but if someone has been on a lot of different sites, they should find that this one is easier to understand then a lot of them out there.
 
in the time it took him to write that PM to you Rich, he could have posted in the feedback forum and I'm sure someone would have explained the difference between trader ratings and karma...
people do try to help around here.
;)
 
I am glad he cleared one thing up, Rich...I was under the (apparently mistaken) impression that people weren't posting and/or were leaving because of me. It's your site, it's only fitting that you should be the one pi$$ing them off.

Kind of odd that after all his posturing he went and became a contributing member.....and I'll never understand the logic that leads a person to antagonize the owner of a site (or a business) that he uses. Talk about :shootfoot
 
On a scale of 1-10, how wrong would it be for me to give him negative karma because that PM hit "particularly bad" on a couple of levels. I could probably manage to get him an extra red box, and make his number drop enough to get a good whine out of him :dgrin:
 
Before anybody gets any ideas, it would be bad...he didn't post that message publicly, so it isn't really fair game
