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 do not think he owes anyone an explanation. It is certainly none of my business. It does appear funny, though, and that leads to easy paths for speculative directions. Chances are that one of those could strike true.

True enough, he doesn't owe us an explanation. I can say with out one the chances of dealing with him are slim.
However, he did bring up the shady business practices of Urban Gecko.

Indeed.
I, too, think there are only a few probable scenarios and most of those would not be, in my eyes, set in a favorable light.
Thanks to the nature of the BOI, the matter has durability, so I am glad I could read about this as well as the situation regarding the party that was said to not have been compensated for his serpents.

Their MO seems to be dealing with problems by offering credit towards something else. Hopefully he didn't go for that.....didn't seem to work out terribly well before.
I'm glad it's resolved but not sure why the secrecy....if the Urban Gecko made their unhappy buyer whole, you'd think that would be something to share happily?

One would think.
The secrecy about it is what bothers me.

I needed to take a break otherwise I might say something dumb that I'd regret. After I invited Craig to come comment on here he basically said he would not explain his position on a public forum. He also said that I don't understand the magnitude of what's happening here. He said that I had one day to call him before his lawyer contacts him going ahead with the lawsuit. I called him and he just fed me a lot of I'm doing damage to his company that's been around for 20 years and that he's made huge improvements to the reptile keeping hobby. He didn't bribe me. That being said if he feels so threatened by some kids videos that he's serious about suing that's his problem. At the end of the day I don't have the time nor funds to deal with this how I'd like too. You also have to decide if it's a battle that's really worth fighting over a couple hundred dollars. I wish I could do something but what's a guy supposed to do? Maybe if I wasn't still in high school I'd try something. Thanks everyone - Sam

I feel like I'm being bullied into silence so they can keep doing what they're doing. I hate that I had to fold and take down the videos but that's really my only choice. I am not a happy camper.

You are being bullied into silence. That's their tactic to get you to take down bad reviews/videos without them having to pay a cent or lift a finger other than typing some threats. If your experience with them was depicted accurately, it isn't slander. They don't have a case against you. They just want to remove negativity surrounding their company. And the censorship really speaks volumes about what kind of company they are.
