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

I bumped up our membership to Benefactor level last night. It was last minute, but I had to wait for funds to come in. I just hope it helps!!

Thank you to everyone else who contributed!

I would contribute more right now if I had the funds to do so. Honestly, I think the BOI has saved me far more than a couple hundred dollars. I fully intend to increase my level once my tax refund comes in. Even if the BOI goes away, I think it's fair to say that I owe it more than $75 for what it has already done.
 
What happens to the people who have paid, when the admin decides that not enough paid and he'll shut it down anyways?
 
As I understand it, if the decision is made to terminate the B.O.I. notice will be given that that is the case and it will be maintained for one additional year so that anyone who became a member in an attempt to save the B.O.I. would get a full year of it. Then it will be gone.

So what happened what was his decision? Just curious as I to wouldnt like to see the BOI leave but sorta makes you wonder now that it is 1 Jan 2010 and no word as of yet what his choise was.
