• 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.....

    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....

Paying for other members??????????

I would like to pay to register a few other people and i try to do it through the automated system it doesnt have a option for me to put in the other member ID so i can upgrade them. It keeps putting in my email address and stuff. Somebody please post the instructions on how to do this.
thanks

Sorry, but there is no way for the automated subscription code to be able to do this. It was designed with a certain application in mind, and unfortunately third party subscriptions was not in the design specs, apparently. What you will need to do is to use the PayPal donation button in the lower right hand corner of each page, or else just PayPal me directly at [email protected]. Just please be certain to enclose a note about who the gift subscription is for, using their registered member name. I will then take care of it manually.

Also, please note that the member you give the gift certificate to will receive the expiration notice at the end of the year, not you, so I'm not sure what you will want to do about that situation.

Yes, I too wish this were easier to do, but my programmer has already aged prematurely from all of the requests I have made trying to push this software beyond what it was designed to do. :)

Thanks!
 
thanks rich..

I just used the paypal donation button down the bottom and left you a message in the paypal note window as to who its for.
thanks
