• 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....

I had a beardie for sale, which ended w/ a buyer on June 23rd. No payment ever arrived.
After 3 emails, with no response, I finally CALL this individual on the phone, in which the husband denies bidding on any auction. I see that they have beardies for sale on this site also, which, the husband also denied. I asked him to confirm the phone number I've dialed, which he does. I asked him to confirm his sign in name, which he refused.
Then, yesterday, I get an email, from this individual, the wife no less, asking info about the dragon she quote "BID" on. lol
I told them to nevermind, as the dragons' been re-listed for non payment.
Hope they don't care and treat their existing dragons as they do people and their own responsibilities!
 
Deb,

Welcome! Remember you need to sign with your full name when posting in the BOI. It would also be helpful to know the name of this turtle63 for future reference. Thanks in advance.

Regards. :)
 
Deb,

It’s up to you, but the problem is that without disclosing his real name your post will help no-one. New e-mail accounts can be created almost endlessly, changing names for business purposes is a little more difficult. But as I said that’s your choice.

Take care.
 
Deb,

Your full name (first and last) must be in every BOI post that you make. You might want to consider going to the control panel and filling your complete name in there. Then it will automatically appear in every post.
