    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....

It is what it is, but certainly not what it was.

Looks like there was a problem at the server/data center this morning. My server guy says it was a network issue at the data center, because he was able to access the server from some networks on the west coast, but not from any on the east coast. Not sure WHY, but hopefully it's fixed now.
 
Well, not all west coast access was good. Couldn't access the site from AZ. Glad it got all worked out.
 
It lasted for quite a while - I was PMing Rick at around 02:30 and the message didn't go through. From that point, until at least 09:30, I was unable to access the site. (I went to bed at around 11, but I'm not sure if I tried to access Fauna in that last hour)
 
I just want to add that I tried to post a Good Guy post on the BOI and it keeps telling me that it is a duplicate post and redirects me back to the forum
Yet the post did not and does not appear there

I got that message on my first "submit post" attempt and when it did the same thing the second time after I found that it did not post on the forum
I came looking for any info and found this thread

Thanks for posting this!
I will try again later as I have the post saved-lol

Good Luck with getting everything back in order and I hope that it is nothing very serious and complicated
