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.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

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....
Wes "Wilomn" out of control ?

Why all the animosity lately?

The question would be, when were you last hit, or anyone else for calling someone a scumbag?
It might not just be Wes getting a little slack for these warnings. Look around a little before you cry wolf.
varnyard said:
No, that is not the question. Let's take one question at a time; it clouds the issue less.
Bobby, see post 10.
jsrocket said:
Yes, I see the post.
What I see is that Wes posted his opinion, whether right or wrong, it was his opinion of Bud Mirkey.
Not that I agree, or disagree as I did not comment on this.
I do not want anyone to think I have same opinion, or that I am taking sides.
Then I see Dave having a problem with no warnings being issued. Is there something else I am missing?
It was decided that we were being a little too rough with the warnings. They will now be a little more relaxed by me and most of the others where the BOI is concerned. We would like you to express your feelings a little more without the fear of drawing warnings.
This is not a excuse to attack the Admin, Super Moderators or Moderators or other Members. As well as running around using foul language, or threats. All of the rules are still in place and can draw fire. We are just letting up a bit on you having the right to express yourself.
This would be the reason for Wes not drawing fire for calling someone a scumbag. I hope this clears things up a little.

Jim o, The photo was funny 
But in a way it sort of proves a point. The photo was funny but childish and in away off topic. But thank you for you input.
If the rules have been relaxed then that is fine but does that mean that no one will get dinged for name calling, again? What is the number of times a person call call people names before the points are issued? Now , I do understand that people are tired of dinging Wes because it does no good but the rules should be the exact same for every person on this board, do you agree?
Jim o, I am not crying about anything nothing that Wes, you or anyone else post on here about me effects me in the least. People have concieved thier oppinion about me based on what, a 15 year old arrest, the ravings of a man that robbed his Daddys store 3 times, a lady that got in to trouble with the HCSO for posting a doctored document and making a false police report or a girl who had me charge with a crime and those charges were thrown of of court for having no merit. If I have done half of the things people say I did I would be in jail. But niether here nor there non of it mattersthere is no fun in it if I am innocent.

I ahve another question for whom ever moved this thread, why was it moved to start with? Just wondering.

you will find the answer to that question in post #3Dave Lawson said:I ahve another question for whom ever moved this thread, why was it moved to start with?
Go read the recent threads in the feedback forum. All the questions you are asking about the rules have been asked and beat to death there. There is no need to drag that discussion into a 999th thread to beat it some more.

Ok, I have read post #3. which now brings more questions to mind. This thread was buried in the sounds off section because it has noting to do with a deal (good or bad) or is not a asking for input of a persons or buinesses dealing correct?

You're kidding right?? Is this an inquiry? A good or bad business thread????? Or just a man who has an ax to grind
Dave, you have been around here long enough to know and understand the rules, yet you insist on breaking them and then whine when your thread gets moved? Pulease........

No, No Laura, I am not in the least upset that this thread was moved
As far as the rules go, it is hard to follow all the changes in them. As was pointed out earlier by a mod. There was a meeting and all the mods and Rich Z. agreed to change how and when the rules apply by relaxing them. Well when these rules are changed us regularmembers need to be notified.
But back to the point at hand, How does this thread differ from oh lets say this one

"You're kidding right?? Is this an inquiry? A good or bad business thread?????

The above was posted by you Laura.
This thread about Wes is in no way different then this post about me but yet this thread about me has been in the BOI for years. why wasn't it buried here? Acording to the rules quoted by you and Dthomas it does not belong there either.
Will you move it now or doesn't the same rules apply to me?

The general membership was made aware at the time of the enforcement change - it isn't anything new, and there has not been a significant change of the rules, to my knowledge. What changes there were are have been included in the TOS for the BOI. (I think most of it involved the list of warnings). The condensed version, since you must have missed all of this, is that for some time, the rules were strictly policed...then, for a variety of reasons, Rich decided that it was time to relax the enforcement of those rules on the BOI (which, in essence, is a relaxing of the rules). Of course, the there was mixed opinion from the membership - with some preferring the more controlled version, some the lesser. Enter the WWW (Wild, Wild West) threads. Grab a cold one and settle in for the afternoon...apparently, you have some catching up to do.Dave Lawson said:
What Bobby was referring to was a reminder from Rich that he had "relaxed the rules" on the BOI. No new plan or strategy, no redefining of lines or policies (sorry to all that seem to be looking for further definition...there simply isn't one)
As for the rest of your questions - I have not followed that thread to any extent & I don't know you or your history...nor do I care to investigate that history. Something tells me though, that if I were to read that thread then do a few searches, I might come up with the answer to your queries. You though, have a distinct advantage...you already know, all you have to do is think about it. Give it a try, and if you still have questions let me know...I will open a few threads & see what I can find out about you.
now that I think about it, I believe there may have been some new rules added during the period of stricter control of the BOI...those rules might have been changed or relaxed to match the new guidelines. The bottom line is the same though...the current rules are posted.

hhmoore, Thank you for your answer and your time. The question about the post was that it met none for the topics that Laura mentioned it was niether a about a buiness or about a deal but rather a rant that was proven to have no merit. At the start of the thread The thread starter even said it may have bben in the wrong area. It is the same as this post about Wes so I simply ask why it has not been moved?
Dave, so you are comparing criminal activities to name calling. You have a thread about your criminal activities on the BOI, I might add not without proof. IMO they are not even remotely close.
So Wes called someone a name, then you ran here to complain. This is not the same in my book, nice try, but not even close.
