    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....

Ryan Trude aka Pitbullophis: Bad Guy!

So is this clown back on here or is he still banned?
Just curious. I have been following this thread with one eye rather than paying close attention.
 
He's still gone.

He's absent from this site only by the name of Ryan Trude...

You will find "bearnesssss" aka Sherri Koontz to be Ryan Trude.

This thread on a different classifieds forum will prove that Sherri Koontz is really Ryan Trude.

He is currently selling the 66% het albino retic that I traded to him. He claims:

He has all the features of definite hets.

In my mind, there's no question that he is carrying the albino gene.

Yet, he probably can't even tell you who produced it. And he certainly won't use me as a reference.

Isn't there a rule around here about using fake names?
 
Good Job!

Good investigative work Mark!

bearnesssss has been banned and all of his posts have been deleted.
 
"You're" ####ing site sucks anyway.

so he decided to make another screen name and utilize this sucky site.
I love people that talk #### over the internet. #### you. Pussy.

maybe it is just me having a convaluted definitin of Irony. But I find that rather ironic.




anyway the real reason I posted.
If you guys are gonna post about someone and their ads, give me a buzz. I have no problems locking it down so they can't erase it. One of the "powers" i am allowed or allow myself to excercise.
 
unfortunately...

...he has actively been trying to "hawk his wares" on the shhs website also...

he has been trying to unload these animals on venomousreptiles.org since this thread started...

hopefully anyone wishing to purchase from him will do a little investigation first...
 
clarification...

...he is not trying (that I know of) to unload the animals in question anymore on shhs...

...he has ads for other animals...

...what fool, who knows his history, would trust him...

he previously had the animals in question up for sale...
 
Ryan still has the Retic on venomousreptiles.org.

He already sold the Hog Island Boas, but I am in contact with the person who purchased them, and unfortunately, Ryan left out a whole lot of important details when he sold them to her.
 
Yes, the IP address matched. I have now blocked that IP address from the site completely.
 
oh it did match.

that search feature of yours is sure handy.

I wonder how long it would have taken for me to search all his posts to match that IP addy.

I just wanted to bring up a little history regarding Ryan Trude now that my memory has been refreshed...


Ryan was indeed banned from this site before. In may of last year, he posted a pyramid scam in about 30 different forums on this site

Firstly, banning him was no mistake, as he sorely deserved it. Secondly, the little liar's own admission tells us that his spamming the site was not a mistake...

It was deleted, maybe Ken remembers.

Sorry wrong thread

Dennis,

Not a bad "mistake" to have brought this to the top.

It gave me my morning dose of chuckles.
 
I think it is VERY good that it is back up. It gives people an idea of what kind of a guy he was, now that he has turned over a new leaf.
 
I'm sure anyone can read the first page and decide if that's the kind of person you want to buy from. I wonder how many sales he's lost due to this one thread. But I'm sure he'd say he has no problem selling.....blah, blah

Buyer beware with this one. :shootfoot
 
Absolutely correct on that one, Gar. No "problem" selling anything at all over the last FIVE years since this thread was started. Or if I did, I sure didn't know it. Hey by the way, where the hell did Mark and Aimee disappear to? Haven't seen them around here in years. ;)
 
Whoa...just read through a little of this myself. I was a bit of a pistol back when I was 23, wasn't I? I bet that explains at least a few of those Disorderly Conduct charges back then. Haha. Time sure flies. :)
