• 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.....

    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....

We would like your feedback!

So we continually try to ensure that our website is running as best it can (we made the website ourselves, no developer).

We are interested to know what you think of it and especially would like to know how fast it loads for you. We recently updated some parts that gave us a 100% speed increase and it's always good to make sure it is working for all.

We ask that you load it twice, so what you need to do is go here http://www.virides.com.au, letting it load completely. Then press the refresh browser page button to let it load again. Can you then tell us how many seconds it took from clicking our link till all elements loaded. Then how long it took to full load after clicking refresh. Also if possible can you tell us what your internet connection speed is as this will greatly affect your loading times.

The reason here is that the first load generates the locally stored cache (think small files that help the site load even faster on next visit). When you refresh this represents a second visit to the site.

Also if you notice any bugs or typos we do not mind you mentioning it here :)
