• 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....

Site will be shutting down Tuesday 2:00am EST

Well, did that get your attention? :hehe:




Well yes, this site WILL be shut down then, but not permanently. It's time for one of my all time favorite things to do -> SERVER MOVE!!

Yes boys and girls, it's about time to be moving to a brand new server. Bigger, faster, and lord have mercy, even less expensive. And this new server will be plugging a security hole that I will tell you all about afterwards.

So at or about 2:00 am EST on Tuesday, I will be shutting down the site so the server techs can start migrating the files to the new server. I'm not sure how long this will take, as this site is pretty big, and it's not the only site on my server being moved. Figure on at least a day. And hope snags don't show up after the move, which honestly seems to happen more often than not. But let's just hope for the best.

For the duration, nothing on this site will be accessible to anyone. So the only thing I can suggest is that you keep on trying to get back on here, and when the site is back up and running finally, then you will be successfully able to do so. Sorry, best I can offer. Too many variables involved to even try to make a realistic estimate within a few hours.

So, try not to be creating a post or new thread around that time, please. There is a good chance you might not post it before the site gets closed, and all your typing will be for nothing.

Now, I hope I don't FORGET about this. The brain cells just aren't what they used to be lately..... :eek:
 
Yes, you do indeed rock Webslave. However, I almost had a apoplexy when I read the title. But, again, thank you, for the new safer server. I know this is an inane question, but, do you pay for the website/server space out of your own pocket? I would assume so, but, I just wanted to ask.

Thanks again kind sir.
 
Income from my sites pays for the services and devices needed to run them. So in effect, all of YOU are helping to pay for this site. And honestly, even with the blood-letting caused by FaceBook, we are still running well in the black.

I do SERIOUSLY appreciate everyone who helps out with memberships, sponsorships, advertising and the like. And that includes the moderators who volunteer their time and efforts to help directly with managing this site. No way I could even come close to doing the excellent job they all do all by myself.
