• 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....

Slow connections

No, it wasn't your imagination. Earlier today it was just about impossible to get anywhere on Fauna. It seems much better now though.

I don't know if it had anything to do with it, but I know Rich is getting ready to do another server change.
 
Actually I had to reboot the server about an hour ago (around 7:15 pm). Loading was through the roof again with no real good reason I could see for it. I got the guy I am going to be getting the new server from take a look and he said he put some changes in the config file that may help. That was nice of him to to, when it isn't really his responsibility. Hopefully things will run better (for a while, at least) when we get on the new server.

This server move is supposed to take place on Wednesday, but I don't have an accurate target time for that to happen. At some hand beforehand, I am going to be making this site READ ONLY for the duration. Wish I was getting a $ for every email I'm going to get asking me why they can't post any longer on this site..... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Sorry about this. But believe me this is NOT my idea of a fun way to spend my time...
