• 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....

That think it's a clique... well, if you conduct good business in this hobby you have nothing to fear about fauna.

If you DON'T do good business, then you stay away so less people know about your poor business practices!

If you are a scammer, bad guy etc then you post and OR just say negative things about fauna because you don't like the way fauna can make people accountable for their actions.

If you are a good guy doing good business, then you get exposure for your good doings which will benefit you.

You develop a good reputation (If you didn't already have one) and expose yourself and business (If you have one) to more potential customers!

Excellant site to check on a business or person before buying, trading or selling to!

Fauna is NOT a good place to be if you are a bad guy, but a great place to be seen if you are a good guy!
