    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....

Ok, now that Wes is at zero points I say we have a pool to see on what date Wes racks up 300 points and get suspended again. One dollar allows you to pick one calendar date. So if I put in a dollar I get to choose one calendar date, lets just say October 7th, 2008 as an example. That is now my date and no one else can choose that date. For every dollar you spend you can choose another available date.

For the tie breaker you have to guess which specific infraction Wes violates that sends him over the 300 point barrier.

I can easily set up a paypal account ([email protected]) and everyone send their dollars to it and the winner gets all the money in the paypal account.

:yesnod:
 
if your date is Oct. 8th and no one else can pick that date then there would be no reason for a tie breaker. with that said i would take DEC. 24th 2008

I would imagine, that if I chose October 1st, and you chose October 3rd....and it happened on October 2nd, a tie-breaker would indeed be needed. ;)
 
Thank you Cat!! I think that answered everyones question.

And I plumb forgot Wes could not post in here. Takes all the fun out of giving him a hard time.
 
Is it wrong that my immediate thought was to encourage you to up the pool to ten or twenty bucks a shot... then pick my date and try collaborating with Wes so that he arranges for it to happen on the anticipated day, in the anticipated manner- splitting the winnings with him and covering the fine required for him to return?

Could take a while if he can only post in the BOI. There's a lot more latitude there.
