    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....

I do not understand why these cities want to Ban reptiles. Do they have any clue what this would do to local mom and pop businesses. There is already a problem with the economy why do they not think or care about the big picture. I have a family business that sells reptiles and it is one of our ways of survival. We care for the reptiles and who they are sold to and would never jeopardize, the industry as well as the care for the reptile. I have a deep feeling there is a bigger problem than what we can see. I believe big corporations are killing off small businesses to become kings. I am tired of these people killing jobs, and taking advantage of us mom and pop companies!!!!!!!!! I want to thank USARK for really stepping up and trying to fight this! I have so much respect for them and pray for their success!

I have suspected this for a long time. corporations have a vested interest in doing this, not only to squelch competition, but also because they would rather have us be their wage slaves rather than starting our own mom&pop small businesses.
