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 would call that making things right. I have asked Mike several (I mean several) questions on keeping frogs. I have always wanted to get a few for my 2 daughters. After getting to know him through text and messaging about keeping them and why I want to get them, heck, he offered me 4 frogs (my pick of morph) and he would send them to my daughter for free. All I have to do if pay shipping. Don't care what anyone says, that is an awesome deal and he did not have to do that at all. I have never met the man before in my life nor have I ever seen him. I would say he is ok in my book though for what he is doing. So, when my family gets done traveling this summer for our vacations I will be sending him shipping and then we will make our transaction. Great guy by me.

Any evidence to support that claim? Threatened by a ban? How and who exactly? The ONLY way I can see this as even a slim possibility of truth is if they choose to violate the rules for posting here. Primarily, that means complying with the rule concerning REAL full identity. If someone is inclined to provide truthful statements, then they should have no qualms whatsoever over making such statements using their real identity in order to do so. So with that in mind, false identities are strongly and actively discouraged here. Someone doesn't like that rule? Sorry, but maybe facebook is more suitable to what you want.
Other than that, as long as they don't act in an obviously derogatory and threatening nature towards staff or other members that is blatantly in disregard of the rules of this site concerning interpersonal engagements, then anyone is free to publicly post their thoughts here.
As for information being disregarded, well, how is that the fault of this site? Perhaps the information being provided is just not worthy of being considered credible? A lot of people here seem to have pretty capable BS detectors at their disposal. So that is strictly between the person or persons posting such information, and the people who are reading said information. We do not filter what is posted, and we certainly do not make judgment calls on such information.
If you have evidence to the contrary, I would like to see such evidence.

It is my studied opinion that there are quite a few people that the world could do without, much less this site. And when I encounter them here, I really don't shed tears when they get evicted. But honestly, I have given more than just a few of them more chances than some people would consider as being sane to prove the reasons for them being banned here were done in error. It is disappointing to see so many fail to provide that proof.
Fortunately, sooner or later, many those people tend to wind up sleeping in the bed they made for themselves, so it does seem that karma actually is a real force that has to be taken into consideration in life. And I would bet that they still cannot see the base reason for their failure to reach the potential they were truly capable of becoming. Is it really that tough for everyone to just be a GOOD person and do what is fair and honest to others?

There are a few post that are disregarded. Especially, when they don't agree with the majority. Then those members are attacked.

Please define "disregarded" and "attacked" for me.
The way I have seen it around here, "disregarded" often means "discredited" based on suspect content or source. Not everything everyone says is going to be noteworthy enough to earn a direct reply or comment.
And "attacked" often means "disagreed with" and/or questioned about suspect statements and actions. To some people, I guess those terms might be considered as functionally equivalent, depending on how thin their skin is to criticism and interrogation. But everyone here is subject to being disagreed with. The best defense against thinking it an attack is to not get emotionally attached to what you are saying thinking it must be gospel to everyone.
So I am curious about how you see those terms used differently to apply to what you have seen on this site.

Good luck getting straight, sensible, meaningful answer that has any basis in reality. Here's his hilariously dishonest take on just why he was banned from here in the first place. Apparently, you and the mods just wanted to try to win favors from a former porn star.

Disregarded as in ignoring the fact that this thread is over and has been carried on by those that have nothing to do with the transaction.
Come Tuesday morning when mr bumb receives his 9 replacement frogs and 15 free frogs it will be completely ignored on this site.
Why? Because by sending him replacement and going over and beyond what he is owed I am doing those that hate me on here a disfavor.
One less thing for them to complain about. They won't know what to do with there lives.

Yes, Wendy iwanow better known as Bianca trump told me that herself.... She was the reason I was banned years. She did say one thing that I will say rings true today "any publicity is good publicity".
And Dan graybeal keep wasting your time looking up as much Info on me as possible. Makes me feel good to know that I've gotten to you so much that I am consuming your day with fauna
I'm going to be off here for awhile. Have an Angels baseball game I won tickets to go see tonight

I think you have control issues. The way the BOI works, is that business issues are discussed and everyone contributes ideas. When the latest thread was initiated, I came up with this post:

Essentially insisting on proof of the accusations made. I just did that again in another thread when you were accused of violence.
But I insist that both sides act with fairness: the issues should be discussed here and not on editable FB.
What happened? You went off like a firecracker, insulting, making derogatory statements, acting like an ass. I think you should go to your sports game and return with a clear mind. Just because readers insist on decent behavior and courtesy from you does not make them 'haters'. Just because they state their opinions (my opinion is that those who accused you should show some proof) does not make them haters.
You need to calm down, take one issue at a time, deal with it, and if the other party needs to be refunded or compensated, just do so. I'm telling you, you are your own worst enemy right now.

Keep telling yourself that. You're nothing special; I'm treating you as I would any other degenerate who happened to catch my interest on here. Sorry to burst your fragile little bubble.
I can just about picture the blank look on your face as you struggle to comprehend this, but I suspect I'm not the only one who'll get a private chuckle out of someone trying to play that card after they desperately tried to recruit their pseudo-friends into an online mob against me.

And you consider her as a credible and reliable source of information claiming that she has ever had any influence with any staff on this site?
Good luck with that.
