I think it is the Marines that use the Harriers, not the Air Force. :eatpointe

Jeremy: Thank you for your kind words and names

Sam: the Harrier Jet reference was in fun, a reference to the Pepsi Point law case where someone collected Pepsi Points and tried to redeem them for a Harrier Jet they had seen in a Pepsi commercial lol.

Thank you, Rob, for the list. You really have gone above and beyond in making this contest a success. Ans all who have taken time on this thread are much appreciated.

I have another fave to ask of the folks who wish to help Fauna: I am thinking of *perhaps* opening the forum this evening, and I am asking that any of y'all who can, if at all possible, put up a small item please do so, to get this going the right way.

I found in another forum this morning where Webslave was explaining some of the reasons that Fauna's operating costs are rising. I thought it might be appropriate to put it here, to help explain why I am all of a sudden taking all this time and effort to promote the idea of this new auction forum to help Fauna:


*****************************************************

As long as the donations and people paying for the extra bells and whistles I have set up give me the pocket change to do what I need to do with all of this, paying the bills as they come in, then I don't have a problem from the financial angle. But I have to admit that traffic here is growing all of the time, and sooner or later I am probably going to outgrow pretty quickly even the new server I have set up now that we will be moving to sometime next week. I have seen some REALLY huge vBulletin sites on the net, so maybe I need to do some investigation to see what sort of hardware is needed to run those sites. I guess I had better have a ball park figure in case we continue growing as fast we have been in the past. Maybe the people running those sites are just independently wealthy...

Heck, we are adding an average of 20 to 25 new members every day here. On January 5th, we had 51 new registrations on that day alone! This is unreal. We are getting over 50,000 raw hits PER DAY lately on this site. That's 1.5 MILLION raw hits per month. In December of 2004, FaunaClassifieds transferred 137 Gigabytes of data that month. Every month ALL of these statistics are growing!

Yeah this all sounds like a good thing, because YAY! the site is growing like a weed, but it's darn scary when the costs for all of this have to come out of my own pocket, if the optional charges I have set up just flop on me. Quite frankly, if it weren't for the advertisers, hosting, and donations, I just wouldn't be able to justify pulling the money to run this site from my REAL business. I just hope that this all can stay ahead of the curve as my expenses increase as traffic increases.

So there it is. I myself did not realize how many people look at this site daily, it's a LOT.

I will be putting a lot of time and effort into the new forum, to help this site. I have come to REALLY like Fauna. Please, please help me.

Thank you,
Lucille Hollander
 
Thanks for the pat on the back, Lucille. It made my day!

About the rising costs of running this site, I knew that it had to be a pretty huge undertaking just to keep the site going and running smoothly. I thought I saw somewhere that there is something like 117,000 members that are register with fauna. That number is mind-boggling! I know in that my spouse and I are logged into Fauna many times each day, and are constantly viewing posts, searching the classifieds, etc, and we are only 2 people! I know that Bandwidth and webspace quickly add up, so it's only natural that the cost incurred would keep rising with more and more users registering and using Fauna's services.
 
Okay, I just found the site stats, and my what I thought was 117,000 members was actually the page views, and the number is around 170,000 give or take a few. The stats say that there is over 16,000 registers users though, and still when you think about it that is one HUGE number!!!

All I know is that Fauna has been a very valuable resource to me, and I know the same goes for almost everyone that frequents the site.... that alone should motivate people to help fund a service that they use and appreciate.
 
Wow this turn out is great...But I have a question,Who is the "Impartial Judge" who is going to Pick the "Name" of this new forum? There have been a lot of good names some funny some serious but all cool I was just curious Whos going to do it? :raspberry
 
Lol David I was trying to do that same research....you beat me to it but that would be coolif every body that visits a forum donated a buck or something along that line or a pay for what you think the info in that forum was worth to you....just a thought
:bolt01:
 
Webslave has the ultimate authority as to what is on his site but I have gathered a list of favorites to recommend. Some names are completely ridiculous "Lucille's Tea Room and Lizard Lounge" but there are MANY which are really good. It will be difficult to pick.
