    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....

They're "Good People"

Ahh you are sweet Robin, you are invaluable and irreplaceable on a lot of threads! Not sure if I like the spell check though, one of the fun parts of my day were all of your typos lol
 
There, now doesn't everyone feel better!?! Hopefully at least a little bit. I thank you all for helping turn the thread back into the positive thought that it was originally intended to be. I am especially proud of both Robin and Lucille for moving on. There have been a few other threads listing the 'bad guys' that come and go (and come and go under different names) and I was glad to see that this one was started to point out the people that make Fauna the informative and supportive resource that it is. I can't agree more with the names of people who have been mentioned in the last few pages as some of the good people, and I thank those of you who mentioned me as well. I'm glad to play a supporting role in any way that I can. It's nice to know one's efforts are recognized and appreciated.
 
thank you but i only have been using it like maybe half the tim not always.... i forgot one other person


Chuck and homie the clowns father

I think that is a good, well thought out list, but in all fairness, I think you should have included yourself, David, you are Good People too.... :)
 
I agree Dand is good people for sure! A previous customer of mine joined a little while back and was scared to post, then on one of her first post DAND helped her out and she emailed me and asked about him, I told her he was one of the good guys!

Very true, David is certainly a "Good guy".

I'm happy to see this thread has gotten back on track. It was a great idea Lucille and I hope many others come here and post about the "good guys".
 
OMG I can't believe I have not mentioned him yet.

Jim O is a great guy. I enjoy reading his posts and respect him a lot. I have learned quite a bit from him already and I know I will learn much more from him in the future.
 
I am humbled to have been mentioned by more than one of y'all. Thanks so much.

I wouldn't know where to start. I had a bit of a rough beginning here but most people have been forgiving and friendly and helpful and even supportive.

I think with the exception of a few notable dumbasses, most everyone here is "good people". The dumbasses know who they are so I need not mention them by name.

Evidence of the goodness of people is how a few people, and you also know who you are, rallied around Tere Salazar and her baby, Apollo, when Mitch Triana was terrorizing her. Of course she is still my nominee for "Beardie Mommy of the Year".
 
That is a great list. I will just add your name and call it mine.

While I may not agree with or condone the some of the blatant, antagonistic rudeness and vulgarity of some members of this forum in their responses to certain posts, I tend to appreciate people that at least have the integrity and forthcoming to come through the 'front door' when stating their opinions without mincing words. At least I know where these people stand on issues, since they do not run away and hide between the legs of their superiors while exercising their perceived authority.

When so-called moderators use their 'authority' by making administrative decisions based on personal issues rather than a non-biased sense of fairness, it is abuse of that privilege. Pure and simple.

If this changes some folk's minds about me being one of the "Good People", then I hope to have the opportunity to prove otherwise. For those that still have me on their list, I am humbly grateful.
 
I don't think that I could make a list of good people (way too hard and I wouldn't want to leave anyone off it on accident). I think that most of us know who they are. There are some people that I respect more than others but in the over all scheme of things I appreciate everyones input on this site. Now that I have taken the easy way out...

Webslave thanks for this site, you are the man.

Wes for being able to smack you in the back of the head for doing wrong and then reaching out with that same hand to help you up after you realize it.( if you are really looking for the help, take his hand, he won't smack you again unless you mess up).
 
Wes for his humor
Mike Greathouse, Denis Hultman, Chris Johnson for all the knowledge they bring to the board.

Ok, Wes brings some knowledge too.

I'm sure I missed a couple people. I'd also like to thank my agent, my wife for always sticking with me through the tough times... <cue the music>
 
Jamie,
Thank you for the kudos, but I assure you, I have learned far more from everyone here, then I could impart in a thousand lifetimes.

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

To everyone here: Thank you for the life lessons and for the free education.
You guys are the best!

Anyway, Thank you Robin S. for the mention. You're a sweetie and I luv the way you keep it real.

Now ain't that the damn truth and very well worded.

Wes is the man and even though some may think he is all out to get everyone he really isn't (IMHO), he just has a way about him and how he says things that scares people (me inculded sometimes lol) but when he is done with you and done knocking you to the ground for your mistake, he will and does help you get back up if you really want his help and do the right thing!

One I did leave off is Critical Bill, he is one of my favorites on this site and I hold very high regard for him!

(Jeremy you were included in my the leo forum "click" lol)

I know you have bad eyesight and I feel for you, I am -275 in the right and -325 in the left but I can see close up and about 20/40 with contacts.

My moms vision is like yours and she has to have glasses to find her glasses lol

Your typos really make my day by making me see how much you put into this site without being able to see very well and it has to be hard at times so I know your typos are earned by taking time to post all you can to help others and an inibility to view everything you type!
