• 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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Hey all, dunno if this bothers you or not, but yazookadaj is annoying the crap out of me. He posted in almost every single ad in the leopard gecko classifieds thread to trade for his bearded dragon, in addition to his advertisement, which was placed in the wrong section, for this potential trade.

Now, I don't know what the official rules are on spamming, but this sort of over advertising is a bit ridiculous, especially when the entire post is obviously copy and pasted since it's always addressed to "Karl". Could an admin or facilitator or someone with more authority than measly 'ol me please tell yazookadaj to cut it out? He's probably new and doesn't know any better, but this isn't exactly the best forum etiquette.
 
Double posting again, sorry!

Problem is, the exclamation mark isn't showing up in the classifieds. I just checked his profile and there's nothing that I can click on either. I suppose I could just email him myself and tell him of my concern, but I don't have any authority to do that here and I sure don't want to tread on any administrative toes. He's stopped for now, so perhaps the problem has passed?
 
He's starting to bother me too. He's emailed me three times asking for a trade, and each time I tell him I'm not interested but he keeps on emailing me.
 
I just sent the webmaster a message. I'll let you guys know if/when he/she gets back to me!
 
Nope, I haven't. I prefer to let the admins deal with spammers since they're the ones most familiar with the rules and have the most pull with people. I've notified people in the past of certain minor violations in other forums and I've had mixed (and not always positive) responses, so yeah, I just pass off the responsibility now.
