Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

What Ty did here shows me what a narcissisic, power hungry celebrity would do to those less fortunate that lack the worship he needs. Fill that void Ty. It won't last long.

It is a pattern with the big names in all hobbies. They hide behind their so called fame, and think they are untouchable and will be fine. News flash, you are nothing special and unless you are banking MILLIONS, you are EASILY touchable in court.

Ty in inextricably part of this debacle also, putting the IRCF in the position they are currently in by refusing to award the advertised prize.

It is actually refreshing to see one of Parks supporters at least have the courage to come here and make a statement, kudos to you for that Susan.
Pity Park himself cannot find it in him to do the same....

It's great that Ty has helped people in the herp community. Nothing wrong with that- in fact it's highly commendable. But, that does not, and should not, absolve him of his obligation of awarding the prize that was rightfully won in a raffle that he operated. The perceptions of his character will be, or should be, based on that as well.
Likewise, that a conservation organization is non-profit does not (and should not) absolve it of liability or obligation, if any, in matters such as this. When there are legal issues like this, it is common and expected for plaintiffs to "go after" all parties which may be involved. Doing so as a matter of protecting ones own rights can hardly be considered a character flaw, at least by most reasonable people.

That's a lovely story and all, but I say prove it. Based on Ty's behavior and his apparent greed I would love to see empirical evidence because I, quite honestly, don't believe it.

All it now looks like to me is that Park is doing this purely for malicious spite and has dug himself in deep.
He just gave away 1/3 of what it would have cost to have made all of this go away.
Hope he explains that to the judge and the ircf.
Pride cometh before a fall
What a star...........
This does not show him to be the charitable person he wishes and expects all his followers to perceive him as after that act but a vicious , vindictive self styled mogul who has the money to try and play games.

David, I am sure Ty has done good deeds for people. But the real measure of a man, as has been said many times here, is how he behaves when there is a challenge or an issue, not how he behaves when everything is going right.
He grabbed the expensive hatchlings for himself, that was greedy. And once that action was questioned, he kept on compounding the problem, and now the IRCF's reputation is on the line because they too, did not see to it, as they should have, that Michelle got the advertised prize.
I'm sure they do good deeds too. That does not change the fact that both Ty and the IRCF dropped the ball when it came to handling this raffle, and now they are suffering increased adverse publicity for their own actions.

Ty seems to think that money makes him a good guy. Notice how he has to make a public show of donating more money. Why is that he does not value good human character? What is that worth?
