• 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.....

    =====================


    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....

Read the DARN rules, please!

Seems to be a real flurry of people posting thread and messages in the BOI recently that are in violation of one or more of the rules. The RULES are clearly posted as one of the top most threads here on the BOI. READ THEM. You are expected to have read them, understand them, and follow them when posting on the BOI. Many of the requirements apply to all other sections of this site as well, so it is advised that you become familiar with them.

Deletions are going to become more the norm than they have been in the past. I've been trying to play nice with people who won't take the time to read the rules, or just think they don't apply to them. No more. If you want to waste your time painfully pounding out messages here only to see them delete, go right ahead. I can delete ANY message anyone can post a lot quicker than they can type it.

No more Mr. Nice Guy.
