I periodically go through and prune my Subscribed Threads list. Apparently, I have been lax - I added a subscription so I could easily check back on a thread from my home computer, and was surprised to see that I am (well, was) subscribed to 748 threads. Yikes. Go ahead, fess up - to how many...

half of your coworkers look at this with a blank expression

Yesterday, I took down my moderator colors & changed my user title to make a post that at least one person would claim was inappropriate for a moderator. Truth be told, I was half expecting that it might turn into a handful of posts - and I wanted to make it obvious that those posts were from...

We've been having a bit of a run of scammer accounts lately. I don't always post BOI threads about them...but this time, I can't resist. This newly registered account posted 2 auctions - one for a spotted python and dotted albino ball python; and the other for a few Cuora species. I knew when...

I'm only making this thread because I was posting in the ads(consider this a big hint to those of you that enjoy doing hit & run posts in the classifieds - follow through...THIS is the place to be posting, not there). Tillery registered yesterday (more on that later). Today, "she" posted an ad...

Yet another Aldabra tortoise ad using images pirated from the internet. The first image used can be found in scam ads all over the internet, as well as informational and picturepages; but it appears to belong to toucanjungle.com http://www.toucanjungle.com/Tortoises.html The second image...well...

A flurry of disruptive posting and an accusatory BOI thread brought this person onto our radar. He was called on his multiple accounts in that thread; but further information made it obvious that a thread in his name(s) is required. These accounts are by all appearances, the same person...

jamesreptile appeared yesterday. His profile indicates the name James Johnson. He is using the email [email protected]. He posted 2 ads, showing a total of 4 images...all of which were sourced from other sites. When confronted about that, his response was simply, This morning, I reached...

It's true - this is the email he sent me: Just so wrong :(

This is something that comes up semi-regularly...most recently in a BOI thread. (Let's leave the names out of this because it's a generic issue - it really doesn't have anything to do with specific individuals. There are a lot of people I don't particularly like seeing here - it doesn't...

Testing....1, 2, 3

Same person Both accounts were created this morning - using locations in NJ and CA - under the names Chris Hansen and Jons Lynton, respectively. There are several similarities linking these accounts, which I am not posting (why help him make it harder for us). Both placed ads featured highly...

This is a long existing policy that, no matter how many times we post in threads, simply continues to be ignored. (I realize that, in most cases, people are simply ignorant of the policy...but there are some that continue to use photo hosting services on the BOI after being told to how to...

This account posted ads today for baby spider monkeys and African grey parrots. The images used in both were easily found in ads showing locations around the world. (I didn't take the time to locate the origin of either, but the links below show the image use) spider monkey photo African grey...

The title asks the question. A lot of people "say" they want the best looking animals they can get for their breeding projects; but, when push comes to shove, and it's time to lay down the cash (or break out the card), their tune changes. BTW - the poll is anonymous. People can see the...

New member, posted an ad filled with pirated images. The email used was associated with an ad on Pangea, which has been removed. I also found this one LinkedIN

Comparison shot of 3 babies from the same clutch - all have fed the same number of times. The two on the left were twins; the one on the right had her own room. 60+ gram difference between the middle and right at hatching.

A quick check of the email makes it pretty apparent what this one is all about: ads for horses, capuchins, dogs, baby (human) adoptions, passports, driver's licenses, birth certificates, international personal ads, star search casting...and that was just on the first page of hits. Buyers beware!!

Pretty sure these are grey tree frog tads.
