    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....

Tired if stupid Internet crap like this:

Well I get an Im tonight, and I do not get many and only from people that I know who they are so I right off think this is one of those scams that Ill send you $XXX for something and you send me some cash back but it was even more annoying than that, here is the IM, makes me want to block the whole darn thing:

Codyremmyloo [10:08 P.M.]: reading your IM and looking at ads on fauna

t0uchback93173 [10:11 P.M.]: that's good
Codyremmyloo [10:11 P.M.]: why, do you IM people for no reason alot
t0uchback93173 [10:11 P.M.]: i dont mean to bother u but i found ure sn on my buddy list for reason
Codyremmyloo [10:11 P.M.]: I just don't know who you are
t0uchback93173 [10:11 P.M.]: we can still chat anyways
Codyremmyloo [10:11 P.M.]: and if you found my screen name how did you know that I sell reptiles
t0uchback93173 [10:12 P.M.]: a friend told me
Codyremmyloo [10:12 P.M.]: who is your friend
t0uchback93173 [10:12 P.M.]: You have been talking to a computer! One of your friends is reading the whole conversation and laughing it up right now! GET EVEN! Have the bot prank all your friends by visiting imprank.ebaumsworld(dot)com


Just petty crap taking up my time, not that my time is worth its weight in gold but its worth more than petty pranks! :hot:
 
Eh, it can be fun if you do it to other people. I've had it done to me, but I knew right off by the way it responded that it was only a bot. It wasted none of my time. Just pay more attention to the stupid answers it gives so you don't have to waste your time next time.
 
After I read it again I should have known I guess and if I had I would have close dit and blocked the person but I never thought about the fact that anyone would send me a bot IM just to aggitate me, maybe its fun or funny to some, just not me, and I have now blocked any IM's from people that are not on my buddy list.

And anyone that has IM'd with me or most who I have talked to know I hate to type, so I don't think anyone I know would do that just to be annoying to get at me.
 
Oh, it is just a computer acting as a person. I guess that is an alright way to put it. The computer program is created to act as if it were just like us.
