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.

Ms. McGuiness,
Where did you get the idea that other web site names could not be mentioned on the BOI?
There are many many threads here where other sites are named in situations like this.
Heck I have even joined a few of them.

Which is a total load of crap and it should end. One for all and all for one.

Thank you Mr. Gregg. I was unaware of that situation.

Before Justyn was exposed here on the BOI for being the scumbag scammer that he is, he had ads posted on "the site which shall remain nameless". Ads which I had a lot of interest in purchasing from. Luckily I already knew about the BOI and checked Mr. Miller's name and saw (at that time) the potential of being strung along with no animals after sending Justyn money. I chose to hold off on ordering and watched the stories develop. If it weren't for the posters on the BOI I would have been duped just like the others.
Thank God that the community here has the balls to go to other sites and spread the word. How many other people have been/will be taken by Justyn because they aren't aware/don't utilize the BOI???? If a site doesn't like what's being said, they can ignore it, delete it, ban users, etc., but saving one person from sending their hard earned cash to this loser seems to be worth whatever the consequence may be. Hell, I wish I would have seen his new ads on the "other" site. I would have gladly taken whatever punishment the mods wanted to give me by outing this POS once again.

Other websites can be named here on the BOI... except one. It stems from a more than two year resentment by the owner of this site that is claimed to be resolved, but apparently isn't. The other website "that shall remain nameless" gets filtered out whenever it is typed here on Fauna. It's a shame, because there are many links from that site to Fauna and especially the BOI in situations such as this one with Justyn Miller.
I am a Moderator at the "site that shall remain nameless", and I banned Justyn Miller permanently from ever being able to post his pack of lies and scams over there, and closed his threads and classified ads and gave links to this thread here on the BOI for reference. As a reputable, responsible, and ethical member of the reptile community, I cannot and will not support him or allow any other innocent person to get involved with the likes of Justyn Miller without giving full disclosure of his reputation and business practices.
The BOI is the best resource for exposing liars and scammers in the reptile community, and I support and applaud Fauna and Rich Z. for providing this website. We are ALL affected when members of this community are ripped off, and we should be able to rely on one another for open communication... even if it is on another website.

OK, Marcia, I've had enough of your taunts about this issue. But rather than continue to take this thread off topic as you are intending to do, I carried this conversation over to where it really belongs. -> http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=116110
