I think that the idea proposed earlier about advertising porn was relevant...I have a friend who owns a strip club in Vegas, perhaps he could get a banner ad? After all, he has a lot of $$$$$

Dennis,

This is from the "New Posts" list.

Gotta love the "...but we still got fangs!" part. :>Puke<:

they still have fangs. classy

That's all I have to say about it.

<!-- / message -->Whilst I agree with your general premise, the meat behind that is exponential, and promotes disruption to the rest of the forum at large.

If Rich accepts my money then he must, in all fairness, accept my application for a banner ad on this site, if he does not then that should be spelled out, verbatim, before I donate said money. It's my money, I should know what it entitles me to, even if my name is Christian Reina.

Fauna members,

I signed up for an account on this website a few months back after a friend told me there was some talk about the website I created. At that time, I had no idea what Faunaclassifieds.com was all about, but I wanted to post my response in reference to several opinions stated by members of this forum. Unfortunately, I've come to realize that everyone is different and regardless how many times you try to explain the purpose of your opinions, there will always be a person that will think the opposite. I'm ok with that and I'm actually happy we are all free to express our opinions here in this forum.

I've been busy in RL with several issues from work to family and only a few days back I realized there was yet another post about something I did. Anyway, I'll keep this very short. After reading the policies towards posting a banner on this website I decided to give it a try and advertise here before next week's Hamburg show. I figured it would be worth a try to generate more traffic to my own website and also contribute towards the great services this website offers. There has been an increase in traffic incoming from this domain name, but not nearly half of the traffic comes from people clicking on the banner. Perhaps some of you might be happy about that, but that was not my goal. I don't make any profit for keeping the website or updating it. I simply wanted an online place for people to find information about venomoids and that's really it. If only one person clicks on the banner and finds my information useful, that's a win for me.

After reading this post, I sent a PM to Webslave about removing my banner so i won't cause any issues for them. I have no problem handling questions or concerns people have with the site I created, but when it involves others who have nothing to do about it and it could cause a problem, that's when I rather take a step back. However, Webslave made it clear and he said that I don't have to worry about it even though he also agrees with many of you about venomoids.

If anyone on this website finds it offensive that I've paid to post a banner linking my website, I want to apologize and I would ask you to simply refresh your browser and my banner will go away. For the rest of you who might think the information I provide on my website is wrong, sends the wrong idea to young people or new herp hobbyists, I welcome your opinions and I'll be more than happy to make changes if needed.

Thank you for the time to read my reply and hopefully some of you attending Hamburg might want to consider checking out my table and maybe discussing opinions with me in a professional manner. I am not an expert, I am not a herpetologist, I am not a biologist, or a veterinarian. I'm simply a reptile enthusiast that wanted others sharing my hobby to find a common place to find useful information.

Christian,

While I completely disagree with voids, I admire your response to this thread. The intent of your post and the level of maturity shown is very refreshing.

Well written, truly...but, I still find the action disgusting.

While I have to agree that this post was a refreshing change from your norm, Christian, I still don't connect the whole idea of being a "reptile enthusiast" with supporting the torture of them.

Seems a bit backwards to me.

Who wrote that and what have you done with reina?

IF you mean all of the above, go on over to TRR and ask some questions there. Ask Gary or Scott by pm at first and let them know you're on the level and want REAL information.

If you're just fooling around they'll thrash you and then give what's left to me.
