    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....

Nicknames.....

Some of y'all chose some fairly strange screen names for use on this site. But, if you had a choice in the 'real world' of a nickname of your choice, what would it be, and why did you choose it??
(Be careful, if it matches and we like it, you may own it, lol....)
 
I used to use Draco online, described me well since i was born in the year of the dragon. Then i switched to RedQuake....i like that. Its what i mainly use online (except for ballpythonchick sometimes........but not often and not here). Chosing one for the real world....well, i still like ~Red~ but without the quake LOL.

Ok so i'm rather boring in my choice but thats me :)
 
I like the name I use here... it's my own name. :)

Some nicknames I've used in the past...

When I was a young college student I needed an alias to go by... couldn't think of one for anything... opened a book up and randomly chose a page and a location on the page... my finger landed on the word "Arcade" so I feminized it, and it became "Arcadia" .... I was that for a long time.

Then later, after I got my first computer, I needed a name for the "Bulletin Boards" I visited... so I first chose the name I'd given my computer: "Isophecles" and later, when I realized that people thought I was a guy heaven forbid! so I then became "Kittenish" (Kitten was taken)... I was "Kittenish" for a long time and then sort of departed from the need for screen/nicknames.... when I returned I used my old standby of "Isophecles" but had to change to a feminized form, so I used the name of a character from an Odyssey-Like poem I wrote for a college class: "Lady_Lithia" which became my name for a long time. Later I started selling stuff at Yahoo Auctions, so I went back to the more masculine sounding "Isophecles" .... and then I went offline again for a while...when I came back, I've been "Sasheena" ever since. I like my name quite well enough to just use that from here on.
 
I'm not very creative, and neither were my parents. Oh well. At least people can't accuse of using aliases to cover my tracks! I use my real name for just about everything I can think of.

The only nickname I've ever had was "Pookie". No, I didn't like it. I got it one night when I was bowling with friends, and a drunk girl who was entering our names on the lane computer decided we all needed nicknames. She chose mine, so I chose hers. Hers was "DrunkGirl". I think her real name was Melinda or something like that.
