• 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....

Trades

This section is actually for trying out different features...
Are you just testing text size & smilies, or is this a real question?
 
Not everybody is open to trades, but you can always offer (I recommend making any offers, trade or $$, privately). There really aren't hard and fast rules - a lot of people try to live by the "I won't ship first" rule, but somebody has to, lol. My personal stance on that is that the person suggesting the trade ships first...if somebody approaches me, offering a trade, then tells me he won't ship first, I end the discussion right there.
It is highly recommended that you do your homework before buying or trading with someone you don't know. Check them out on the BOI, ask for references, whatever it takes to make you comfortable. Don't send anything to someone that won't give you a full name, and use caution if the name they give you doesn't match the one they're using (ie, if the name on the account is Harald Moore, but the email says Joe Powley or you are told to ship to Gary Clark)
