• 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....

Topsites listings.

I think a few of you may have noticed that I removed the topsites links on this site to the other reptile related topsite websites. The reason I was doing this was because those external links were causing a noticeable lag in page displays here. Even my own FaunaTopSites link is causing some delay, but I think I can fix that be removing all entries where the websites are not displaying the reciprocal banner graphic. That should cut down the number of entries the program has to search through in order to update the hit counter.

In any event, I had expected that the number of new registrations might drop because of the reduced exposure by not being on those other topsite displays. But you could have knocked me over with a feather when I checked and found that the daily registration count has actually INCREASED rather then decreased! I don't think I will ever figure out or understand this stuff....... :ack2:
 
I haven't noticed the fauna counter causing a lag on my site but some other top sites do slow the site down considerably..
