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.

Now I regret downgrading that infraction to a warning...new guy, huh, everybody look over at Wade's join date.
(next time, don't poke the tired and cranky moderator when everyone is saying how great he is, lol)

Well I have been here a long time but just didn't have anything to say until I found this thread praising Mr. Moore.

Wade, the TOS for the BOI is to stay "On Topic". Its an infraction when you do not, there is no give there. Also, when you berate a moderator, thats a LARGER infraction, so dont toe THAT line either. Harald giving you a warning, instead of an infraction, well thats typical Harald not "Cranky Mod". Trust me, I know the difference.
BTW, Harald, I will take my warning for going off-topic

I’m a regular on the CS forum and am pretty familiar with how Rich’s forums operate. I haven’t spent much time here. I know on CS there is nothing we like better than for a new guy to come in and tell us all how we ought to be doing things.
You guys seem pretty rigid here, don’t have much time or patients for the casual. Dean, I appreciate you keeping me on that line. I know how important it is for some people to point out everyone’s shortcomings and flaws. In my short stay here I haven’t felt very welcome, I am obviously not part of the in crowd. Sorry if I don’t get to read your response.

LoL Shawn, I can how you would come to that conclusion however, I dont necessarily think I am the best to fit that position. As for the teasing, I am always game.

Wade, we are mostly just yanking your chain. Check out my posts, I will generally always try to help a new person around here. I am hardly what you would call rigid, although I do know how you might feel that way. If you are referring to my previous post about keeping it on topic, well this is why. I do know that I am way off topic now, but for good reason. There is no reason to feel the way that you do Wade, we are all here to help you.

Wade, I suggest if you want to discuss how this site is operated you take it to the feedback forum.
You get a warning, not even an infraction, for breaking a long established rule on the BOI and you think you're getting kicked pretty good?
Should Harald have given you a pass for some unknown reason when anyone else would have received the same treatment if not more?
Two years on the site is plenty long enough to take a minute to read the rules. Harald was more generous than I would have been.

I have purchased 4 snakes total from Harald and I would not hesitate to buy from him again. All snakes were picked up at hamburg, but I would have no reason to worry about his shipping.
Harald is a stand up guy and I have not only recieved awesome snakes from Harald, but learned a lot from him as well.

My comment was actually on topic, we were discussing the relative merits of Mr. Moore, who I find to be a reasonable and intelligent person. "Berate A Moderator" is a very large phrase, when both he and I understood that my comment was made in jest.

Now this comment is in fact off topic. Neither Shawn's comment, nor your response pertained to the subject at hand. Nor did you find it necessary to "Berate" Shawn for picking on the moderators.

So staying on topic is paramount unless you feel it is for good reason. I understand how I might misunderstand that.

I do not want to discuss the operation of this site. In general I don't like new guys that come in and start giving out advise.

My comment made to Harald was obviously made in jest, he understood that and so did you until you got on your high horse. If I break the rules I fully expect a moderator to call me on it. I have communicated with Harald about my warning and he fully understands my attitude on the subject.

If you would like to discuss you term of stay, you will notice that of my 16 posts made, only 2 of them are more than 2 days old. As I said I have not felt the need to spend much time here. You might notice that my post count will not change much in the future. I came here to use the BOI for what it was designed for, I've done that. I am sorry I upset your little apple cart.
