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.

How dare I have a different opinion, I must certainly deserves your condescension. It is comments like this that lead to an increasing segment of the hobby having little respect for the BOI. I was listening to a well known pod cast that compared the BOI to a pack of petulant children. You don't understand it because you are so far removed from the source. While some people have quite obviously spent a lot of time try to convict this guy it is mostly nothing more than speculation.

It really isn't speculation if he said it himself... just saying

The BOI is well respected and widely read, and has saved many thousands of people from being scammed, by alerting them to the experiences of others so that they might make informed choices. Several people, after reading of Michelle's horrible experience with Ty, have posted here that they would never do business with him.
Your description? As you so aptly put it:

Hmm I am fairly sure I didn't say what my opinion was of it all, only what I heard said about it. Are defending this person purposefully being insulting, when I and another have tried to interject our opposing opinion respectfully? You are right everything here is speculation, but it certainly not good press when things like this are said on a national platform.

Truth be known, everyone (and there seems to be a LOT of them) who does value, respect, and support the purpose of the Board of Inquiry, really don't care what you and the other detractors you refer to think about it. Seems to me that many of the complainers wound up on the wrong side of the truth in a situation some time or another, and got their panties all in a big painful wad by having it exposed publicly. That is supposed to be the fault of the BOI? You make your bed and you sleep in it. Simple, no?
The Board of Inquiry merely allows all parties to have their say as long as they do so consistent with the common sense rules here. I don't care much what you say as much as HOW you say it. If some people don't like the way this works, then just too bad for them, I guess. Nothing will ever please everyone and I sure as heck ain't tryin' to.
But be that as it may, if you have any further words of wisdom to share about your opinion of this site, THIS thread is not the place for it. Please continue such conversations in the forum designed for such discussions -> http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...splay.php?f=44

Please name your sources, so they do not remain anonymous..
If you wish to discuss the site, there is a different forum to do so. The subject of this thread, as you see from the title, is BAD GUY Ty Park.

Oh no, not a pod cast!
This site has been around since before pod casts even existed, and will probably be around after the next internet fad comes & goes.
Everyone who discredits this site has had dirty laundry aired, or has a reason to want to hide on easily manipulated social media platforms.

Maybe instead of relying on what you "hear" you use your eyeballs and read the truth laid in front of you in the form of evidence. No specukation needed! Granted, you won't hear any buzzwords or ranting phone jockeys like you would on a pod cast but you'll be smarter for it and have a better grasp of the situation making your opinion not seem so.......meaningless.

Come on, am I the only one who will get scolded? Well I will at least show a little respect to your position and drop the discussion of that subject on this thread. Lucille I will take your avoidance of my question as confirmation. This puts you on the same level as the TY PARK supporters you so begrudge. I can see this conversation is going no where productive, and i think that what makes the more vocal of you comfortable. I encourage any future reader to judge for themselves, but take the posts of some of the regulars with a boulder of salt. I leave you to your "discoveries".
