    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....

NEWLY IMPLEMENTED picture quota?!?

Talk about being rude and inconsiderate. I have no problem giving Rich support for this site, It's been a godsend!

Suck it up and pay it, for christ sakes. Stop being cheap. It's going to Rich for all this blood, sweat, and tears into this site. Not to mention the countless hours he spends monitoring this site, keeping it up and running. Heaven forbid he's able to put a bit of food on his table.

I may not have the money now, but instead of pissing and moaning I'm going to upgrade my membership LATER (yes omg you can do that!) and also advertise to help myself and business out not to mention to help Rich out.
 
It has been listed all along at http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64541

Matter of fact, the numbers reflected in the chart aren't accurate. I boosted the limits by a factor of 10 (I believe this is true for all of the levels) not that long ago.

Like everything else there are always compromises that need to be made. Yes, it would be in my best interests to have everyone able to post unlimited photographs at will, but is this really feasible? Heck, I have been to other sites in other lines of interest where NO ONE can post attachments at all. Others don't allow nonpaying members to post ANY attachments. Generally the larger the site, the more restrictive they are about protecting their resources and charging accordingly. Sorry, but it is just a fact of life.
 
Rich do paid and unpaid have the same tab in their user C.P.?

Go to your User Control Panel. Last button on the bottom says “attachments”, open and delete.

yeah but now, I've even exceded my limit and there's no way for me to delete old pics, which I would gladly do to continue to post new pics of my beautiful babies,

no. i already have 30+ megabytes. it wouldnt make a difference.

Oh well........... 30 megabytes of free photographs stored here for free and you are complaining because you can't get even more? :ack2: Heck I don't know, but how many other places would give you 30 megabytes for free storage?

But bear this in mind as well, that when you pay for a Contributor level membership, you can also edit and delete old messages within the discussion forums. I haven't tried it, but I assume that means cleaning up those old attachment photos as well. So not only does it give you more headroom for posting photos, but you can create even more headroom by removing those older photos, giving you virtually unlimited attachment space if you manage it properly.

So no, a $25 per year paid membership WOULD make a difference to you.

BTW, if this thread vanishes sometime in the future, it is because I have moved it to the Feedback forum in the Admin section. That is where this thread really belongs anyway.

I'm not really sure. I would guess it is tied to the permission to edit or delete a post, but never having tried it, I really don't know. Perhaps someone who is a registered unpaid member could check it out for us.

Yes they can. I just checked.

Tonya, you have the ability to delete attachments in your user control panel.
 
I paid for my membership, and a lot I might ad. But I believe in this site and I want to see it around for a very long time. (Sorry Rich I know you want to retire...LOL) But I don't use the storage for my pictures, I use my own website to do that. That's just my personal preference. My images are usually large files anyways, so it's just easier for me to host them on my site and just link them.

Rich, I have to agree about that VETT! Love it, but if you ever decided to trade it in for a 63' with a split window, let me know I'll be single in a heartbeat...LOL JK

Actually I am more inclined lately to root for this site surviving then I was a year or more ago. The workload of hatching out 4,000 to 6,000 corns each year is wearing me down as well as my wife, and I just don't know how much longer we can put up with the grind. Plus every year I wonder if THIS will be the year that some medical problem puts me out of commission at the worst time of year. Going in the hospital for surgery right at this time of year up through September would likely deep six SerpenCo for certain. If this site could bring in enough income to keep me from having to live off of dog food, maybe I could think seriously about toning down the corn snake business and becoming a normal person before that happens. I know it is just a matter of time. Funny how things can change over time. Last year this time I was thinking that events would prove that letting this site go would be the best thing for my future plans. I knew it was a toss up as to whether it would survive after I implemented the paid memberships. I guess you just never know what tomorrow may bring...... Sometimes good, and sometimes bad.

Shoot man, I'd be REAL tempted! I really like the looks of the original Stingray Corvette. But unless a 63 has been fully restored, it's a lot of work to get a 40 year old car roadworthy and reliable. See above. Hell, we would BOTH be single because my wife would absolutely kick my butt. She is 10 times more protective of that car then I am. I thought she would be kind of "iffy" about my getting it, but she loves the heck out of it. Shame it's a 6 speed because she isn't that keen on a stick shift and I just haven't taken the time to teach her and let her get used to it. Probably deep down inside I am hoarding the driving time for myself...... :hehe:

I posted some photos in my personal forum here that you may want to take a look at. Why don't you post some pics of that '63 there for me so I can look at them?

Thanks.

ps: Sorry about taking this so far off topic. Just feeling chatty tonight for some reason.....

Oh you must know how hard it is to find any of the split windows. I don't know why people would have taken them out back then, I think they are great.

Here's mine! lol YES I COLLECT HOT WHEELS!

LOL Didn't you notice I logged offline right after I posted? I needed to reply, just had too. Man did you see that vette? LOL


I'm sorry too that we took this thread off topic. I've just been a nut for vettes since I was a kid.

Back on topic: There are plenty of places to host your images, most people on this site use photobucket. LOL I just checked my disc space on my server, I've used 245 out of 300. Time to add some more, or start deleting images.
 
Hey Rich,
I wasn't being ignorant about it, I was actually being understanding, and I didn't know I could use the gallery to do that, if you'll notice, I've never posted anything in a gallery and if you look at my post, I WAS planning on upgrading my membership. I've never questioned your motives, I have no idea what it takes to run a site of this caliber. And like many of the people who post on your site, I like to post a lot of pics, and did a lot before I thought to shrink them down. If you're concerned about the pics that are being posted taking up so much room, then you should restrict the size of the photos, since there's a lot of people who accidentally forget to shrink them down. If they had a reminder, there would be less space taken by the pics that they post. Say a limit of 50 kb or something like that, it would help take less space on your harddrive
 
Click on "user CP', then down and to the left side, under CP, at the bottom of the list of items, under "miscellaneous", click on "attachments".....from there, you can see and/or delete all attachments you've posted.

and where on the CP can I delete my attachments, I've been looking through it for 3 days now, since this all started!!
Click to expand...

I found it in my user cp. It is listed in the column on the left hand side of the screen under the title "Control Panel" . If you scroll down there is a section titled "miscellaneous", continue down and it will say "attachments". If you click on attachments it will list all photos you have as attachments and let you delete them. Hope this helps. :)
 
There is a checkbox on the right-hand side of the list of attachments. Check the box of the items you want to delete, then scroll down and click on the "delete selected" box at the bottom.
