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.

I''m sure there will be much eye-rolling and BOI bashing at the show when this all comes up, lol.

Yeah, and I'm sure all those doing the eye-rolling and BOI bashing will be the first ones here looking for help when they get screwed over by someone on a deal....

I have been a member for 5 years with 300 posts, not exactly a rabid boi watcher. I consider the BOI "for entertainment purposes only" as most threads here are full of worthless self important drivel. I check in at work when I'm bored as they haven't blocked this site. I have a few people here whose opinions I resepct, but most people here, especially on the BOI, I think are idiots. I have met Rich in person, I respect him, but I would bet even he knows the BOI is falling downhill fast.
You guys attack my honor, honesty, and integrity got stating something that turned out to be absolutely true. When it turned out to be true, no one but Nemo would even post on the thread. Perhaps because there was no more drama to cause or anyone else to bash to make you feel more important about yourselves. I call you out on your BS and more of the same comes my way. I should expect as much from people who hide behind the keyboard and call people liars, scammers, bad check writing scumbags and whatever else you say because when you turn out to be wrong, who cares. Well I care when you question my integrity, even on this site.
There was once a famous quote that "God created man, Sam Colt made them equal." Whoever said that had obviously not experienced the internet. Only on the internet can you saw anything you want to about someone personally then when you are wrong you just shrug and go off to attack someone else? There is no real fear of consequences and very little chance of real confrontation. It's a perfect medium for you too feel better about yourselves at the expense of others. You judge Allen by 3 or 4 transactions out of who knows how many hundreds or even thousands of transactions then went without a hitch. Like I said, no one cares about a good guy thread. You then attack me for stating the truth, which was that he would get paid. Period. When I call you on it, you further attack me because I have put a chip in the little globe of invulnerability you have as a judge and jury of the BOI.
I won't take your bullshit, nor will I stand silent while you attack my integrity and honesty. I have had one animal returned to me in all the time I have done business and that was at a show and it was because the idiots cooked the poor albino gopher. I still gave them their money back. You take take your self righteous presumption about me and my character and shove it up your ass.

Cyber, I have tried to stay out of this as much as possable but I must say I dont "hide behind a key board" and accuse anyone of writing hot checks. I tried to work things out with Allen over the hot check for weeks and could never get a response from him until I came on here. I never called him any names, I never posted one thing that was not true. I am still willing to post emails and records from my banks showing the check was not good.
Why does it make us "bad people" for coming on here and seeking advice and help? So it is you oppion that everyone of us who had a problem or post on here are just below your feet? That is no better than when Chris said everyone from NJ was bad. Not all breeders are bad people, not all Whole sale buyers are bad people, and not everyone who is on this board is bad. There has just been some bad deals that have taken place yet you want to cuss everyone of us who has posted on here or complain about a bad deal with Allen.

Mindy, I wasn't referring to you. I apologize if it came off that way. Someone on this thread did literally call Al a bad check writing scumbag. It wasn't a shot at your issue. Again, as before, I don't condone bouncing a check to anyone, which why I don't write them or take them in this business. I do understand as a self employed induvidual checks do bounce and in your an the other cases it may or may not be intentional. I don't know Allen well enough to say so.

Furthermore Mindy, I would NEVER suggest if you felt you had gotten screwed that you should just deal with it. I think you should post it here, as you are involved, and the complainee should be involved, and hell maybe even people related to the situation or are able to give good advice to help you out. IF I remember right, that is what the BOI is here for. What I don't like and the people who I think are idiots are the ones jumping in when they no nothing about the situation, have no involvement nor help to give, but just want to rip into someone big time for doing something wrong. I'm sure it's fun when you have no fear of retribution. I certainly do not think I am any better than anyone or think any less of anyone for trying to get help. However, when people act like that it cheapens you and your problem. IMO no one really cares at that point about your issue, just making a scene.

Apology accepted Cyber. And if I may say I think we need to let this Thread rest for now unless something else comes up. Everyone is getting angry at everyone and we are wandering away from the purpose of this Forum. I enjoy reading information that all of you post on this Forum but this is all getting so ugly it is becoming sick. I am not saying everyone needs to kiss and make up but Chris has his money so let it go.

Difference between self importance and self defense Ed, but thanks for playing. We have a copy of the BOI Drama home game for you....
I seriously don't think of myself as in any way important to anything involving this site. If I never came back after this post, I highly doubt anyone would even notice. I will not have my honesty and integrity attacked so some idiot can feel good about himself.
