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.

Sad but not surprising and I would just like to thank you for the many years of dedication to the BOI and the adversity it generated at times .
It will be missed by those who know it will be missed.... if you know what I mean.

I have to honestly say that I certainly won't miss all the headaches.

On that point I would concede!
Good luck with your future.
Still be around as long as Fauna is around buying and selling.
Much preferable to that other rag………..

So I think it fair to give them an option that might better suit their needs in the limited time the BOI will still be available.

After due reflection, I decided this was a waste of time and effort. The BOI (in all it's forms here) will be gone on 02-02-2020. So no sense overly complicating things. I've seen all I need to see. I had hoped perhaps the restricted access would be a signal flare that would mean something to some people not aware of the future plans for the ending of the BOI, but apparently, this will be a an insignificant event for the overwhelming majority of registered members here. Oh well, can't say I didn't at least try.
Accordingly, I have just reopened the BOI forums as they used to be to all members, since it really doesn't matter anyway now. This decision is now set in stone.
Honestly, had I not made a commitment to keep the BOI open for paying members as of 02-02-2019, I would shut the Board of Inquiry down right now and be done with it. But it is what it is.
Sorry about the apparent waffling trying to figure out the best way to handle this.

On question. Once the BOA is gone, you will be deleting everything? Not archiving any of it? I feel that some threads might be worth keeping. But I understand if you just delete everything.

Okay. More than one question. Sorry.

Just out of curiosity, "worth keeping" to whom?

I'm mainly wondering about some of the big threads. Like the Ty Park's one. I know some people still refer to it in some groups when people ask about him.

Sorry but I don’t buy any of this as a valid reason(s). Recently Facebook had a massive crackdown on all animal sales and has deleted many Reptile groups. I have noticed a big influx of users online here on fauna just in the last week. Personally I feel the BOI is a priceless tool for the online herp community. It really sucks to see it go. I am sure the scammers and scumbags are relieved to hear that their past transgressions are about to be wiped clean from record. One them even had the audacity to come to one these threads and hint about possible coming legal trouble for the owner of the site. As much as I dislike this person I think they were telling the truth. Rich, would you like to come forward and admit that’s why you are getting rid of the BOI? Have you been served with papers or have you received paperwork from a law firm giving you a last chance to delete the BOI or run the risk of being sued? I look forward to reading your reply. Thanks!
