• 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....

Final poll on the membership fee program

If a membership fee is inevitable, I am willing to accept the following:

  • $10 yearly fee to view and post on the BOI. Classifieds viewable to all, no posting ads without fee.

    Votes: 28 15.7%

  • $10 yearly fee to POST on the BOI, viewing still allowed. Same as above for the classifieds.

    Votes: 107 60.1%

  • Posting on the BOI and classfieds MUST be free or I have no further use for this site.

    Votes: 43 24.2%

is this website getting close to being closed down?
Click to expand...

Nope, not even close. Contrary to what some uh, "reality challenged people" posting on some other sites would like you to believe, nothing can be further from the truth. More like wishful thinking on their part, I believe.

Why? What would lead you to even think that could be the case?
