    **************************************************
    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....

Moderator (s) needed - apply within, please.

I spoke with Dave (DAND) on the phone today. He asked me to post that he accepts his nomination to be a moderator, and that he will be back in 9 days.
 
I think Chuck deserves his own special usergroup. How about we Angel him rather than Mod him?

Perhaps a fund to go to a herp vet student in his name?

This is the first I'd heard, my heart breaks.
 
Thank you for your nomination, Deborah! I'd love to accept the nomination.

I nominate DAND (David Grunning)
and Mooing Tricycle (Alicia Holmes)
 
I would like to nominate Chuck aka Critical Bill Posthumously.

He LIVED for the BOI

Holy :censored:
Talk about getting smacked in the face reading a thread. :eek:
I had no idea.
Now I need to go read the other thread. :(
 
I would third Shadera's idea.

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

And, I would nominate Gary O as well...he has experience with Mod'ing; he's tactful, respectful, and respected in the community.

Great idea!

*for setting up a fund for Herp Vet Students..that's a good way to remember Chuck and the love he had for animals/ plus educate/alert people to the presence of the BOI. Rich could travel and present the award to a deserving student at the college to be voted on (we could vote based on grades etc) so that the donation remains completely non-biased........


.....just taking the idea and running with it. It's an absolutely great idea!:thumbsup:
 
There you are!!

Laura Fopiano aka LoLo
Sammy Greg aka Shrap
Nicholas Hrabowski aka Polasian
Dean Stemple aka Strictly Exotics
JordanAnge420 aka aka Mia Goldworm

This is harder than I thought it would be...
thank you Debra, I would be honored to serve. It took the loss of my friend to make me realize that there's no place like home.
 
I see I have two people that nominated me. Thanks means a lot to me. If Rich and everyone would have me I would be honored to help.
 
I think Dean (strictlyexotics) as well as WiseReptiles would also be a great mods as well!!
 
I agree with Laura Fopiano as well. She's honest, level headed, and has experience as a Mod here at fauna already. :)

Several members that would make a good mod around here. Hard to pick just one. LOL
