    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Mods who are SOOOOO smart they don't even have to read the guidelines

I didn't see a denial there my friend...but I'd love some stock market tips with that power. ;)
I didn't see one either. Huh, figure that. Two smart guys like us both not seeing the same thing.

Wonder if it's signifigant in any way?

As far as tips, buy real estate. The stock market is too easily affected by outside infulence. With a house, at least you get use out of your investment.

May I be of some ASSistance out Ca. way?
 
I think it is unfortunate that anyone wishing to contribute to Fauna by more than the Contributor level is now somehow tainted. The option is there for anyone to use and it is irrelevant to me whether they paid the money prior to or after the change. I personally haven't seen rampant abuse. I didn't agree with some of Wes' dings but it wasn't like there wasn't some gray area in the offending posts.

Ah... well test time, Wes.

On what date will you be fined and suspended from this site via the warning system?

It won't be via the warning system.

I'll finally irritate someone who has power to the point that they simply give me the heave ho.

Now as to who that will be and when, I won't tell you.

AHAHahahahahaHAHHAHHAhahahahahahAHahahaHAHahaHahahahAHah
 
To my knowlege only the Admin can do that and that's Rich. So only the date is in question.

Yeah, I have likely heard people use dumber things to complain about on this site, but I am having trouble remembering exactly which ones they would be. :nuts: This one pretty much takes the cake, I think.

And if someone does contribute to help out here with enforcing rules, that would be a BAD thing? Personally I would look with a jaundiced eye at anyone saying so. Obviously they are trying a bit of psychology here in order to make their predictions that this plan will fail a self fulfilling prophesy. Obviously they WANT it to fail by trying to apply that stigma onto anyone who wishes to pitch in and help that way. But hopefully the majority of the members here are smart enough to see through that sort of thing. As for those who would not have the mental capacity to see through this ploy, well chances are they wouldn't make good moderator material here anyway..... :rofl:

Now Wes, I thought you prided yourself with the claim of never lying to anyone. Have you now given up on that lofty goal? :D You are here claiming you can tell the future.

Prove it, please. I'm stating that you CANNOT. If you can't, then you have stated a falsehood, have you not? And what is the common term for someone who tells falsehoods, hmmm?
 
Jim O said:

No, that is not accurate. Any of the site moderators can ban a member here.
 
LOL, rich, you've made me laugh out loud.

JimO, as far as I know, or as far as I thought I knew, take that as you will, any of the Fab Four have that power. The Fab Four being Rich, Dennis, Ken and owens.

And rich, as well you know, not answering a question only proves that the answer has not been given, not that there is a definitive answer to the question posed.

I have chosen NOT to answer your question, to which there is, of course an answer.

In order for me to have told you a falsehood, I would have to have spoken an untruth, which I have yet to do.

Nice try there though, bucko, nice try.

Wait a minute, wait a minute! Let me cut and paste this......


"AHAHahahahahaHAHHAHHAhahahahahahAHahahaHAHahaHahah ahAHah"

So now you are making up definitions of reality on the fly, Wes? You can not only see the future but change reality to fit your needs? Aw hell, here it comes again....

"AHAHahahahahaHAHHAHHAhahahahahahAHahahaHAHahaHahah ahAHah"

So now, Wes, are you going to alter everyone's minds so THEY can't see that you are lying about being able to tell the future?

Yeah there IS an answer to that question and it is "I don't know". Yeah, I know, after the fact you will be telling everyone that you KNEW the answer...... :rofl: And of course it is far beneath you to use this gift for personal enrichment at the race track or playing the stock market..

So, was this just a new found "gift"? Certainly I get the impression that you did not foresee your first ban. Oh, I know, it's just another "game" you are playing....... You really knew but did not want to let on that you did. Kind of a "closet psychic", eh? What would your friends have thought of you and all that stuff..... Obviously you could foresee that and you pretended to be surprised.....

So why are you letting us all know your dark secret now?

Seriously where can you FIND this sort of entertainment elsewhere? :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks Wes............
 
I'm afraid you've lost me rich. I thought you were asking for a specific time. I could have supplied one. I imagine an insult of sufficient baselessness in regards to your wife would result in my heiny flying but I chose not to indulge in such stupidity. I could have said I don't know, but would that have been true? After all, I could, at any moment of my choosing, get myself kicked. To do so merely to satisfy your need to know didn't have enough value for me to do so, so I didn't.

Do you play with everyone this way? So much for fun with the zman.

May want to take a chill pill there dude. Or not. Far be it for me to ASSume to tell you what is right for you, whether I know for a fact what is or not.

This little snippet also, when read as intended, should let me out of the "only one who can tell the future" net.

I reckon even you, just a guy who breeds corns and has a couple of cool internet sites, could tell when I would be gone. Pretty simple actually, The mere pushing of a button if I recall correctly.

Oh well and what the hell, whenever it happens,today or 20 years from now, I, for one, won't be surprised. I can tell you that as well, if you care to know.
 
Wilomn said:
What makes you so sure I'm not playing my own game now?

Ah, I see.... Sorry Wes, I didn't realize you thought you had some sort of exclusive rights to being the gamemaster here......

Heck if everyone else can have fun here, then certainly I think I am entitled to jump in as well, eh?

So where were we?

Gee, the master of word crafting doesn't know what this phrase actually means?

Wilomn said:

That doesn't imply that your doubted your powers, Wes, that says pretty plainly that as far as you know, YOU are the only one WITH that power.

But, nice try to wiggle out of that "net".

And no, I wasn't asking for a time at all. Just a 24 hour period with a date attached to it will suffice. And yes, you CAN do something so abusive on that chosen date in order to try to make your prediction true, but would it? Would your powers of reading the future be able to take into account what I would hold to be more valuable under the circumstances, canning your butt or proving you were all wet with your "prediction" capabilities? But heck, that's what predicting the future is all about, eh? :D See the problem with your foretelling the future is that it would have to negate free will. Can you DO that, Wes?

Gee, suppose I was to suddenly be granted this power and figured out ahead of time when you were going to make that supremely abusive post? Shouldn't I then ban you beforehand? Golly.......... I wonder how I will know if I truly have that gift or am just playing a game where no one knows the rules but myself? :rofl:
 
woops,

I think I stepped into and episode of the Twilight Zone....or maybe a discussion of philosophy....

Sorry was looking for Fauna, you know the place with all the drama....


Or is some all powerful entity in control of my computer and I do not have a choice...But someone just said "Free Will".... time to take the Xanex and think happy thoughts.
 
Why do I have the urge to grab you both by the scruff of the neck and give you the Evil Mother is about to put the fear of Women look on you?

Oh I know.....
You two do too........... (insert evil look here)

NOW STOP IT!
Wes~ you shouldn't have started this. I've not read the entire thing~ it's not worth my time.....but face facts....it's time to appoligize (if you haven't already) you were mistaken. And for Christ sake stop baiting Rich! I swear I can see you in the yard with a stick poking at him and trying to get him to chase you!

And Rich~ Stop baiting Wes back! I swear I can hear you chanting "nanner nanner boo boo!" everytime you a get swing in!!

It's all fun and games until somebody puts an eye out.......

If you two don't have enough to do without tormenting each other then you can go wash walls (more evil eye goes here).
 
WAH! That's not fair! You want to stop the game JUST when I start playing too......... :crap: :crap:
 
Your too good at the game!

I like both you and Wes~ partly because I have a soft spot for the rotten kids~ but your both too good at the game to play it together. Someone is gonna put an eye out.
