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 have a right to have those rights respected. Last I heard, I wasn't the one that was accused of a crime.
I did not "accuse" you...I used it as an example of neutrality and why I trusted Kelli's post more so than the rest of the posts that went to the extreme of trying to prove that Ed fabricated an IP. I am not going to talk about that convo anymore..it would be he said/she said except for the point that people came in and witnessed. So..that's one reason that I didn't bring up the first convo except for you claiming that "somebody" called you a scammer in chat.
About your wife cussing..I don't have a lot of faith in people that can't use English to get their points across, and I have been upset with someone that messed with my husband..I didn't have to get her in front of an audience and show my backside.
You are correct, there are a lot of victims in this crime...can we PLEASE focus on them? The best avenue is still the one laid out in the BOI.

Deb, thats where you do NOT understand me. If you were NOT the only one in chat, I am almost guarantee that Christina has spoken to them. I never once spoke about you making a private chat, in fact, I am glad it was you who did it. You pointed your finger towards me and if she cant convince you that I was involved, then she wouldnt be able to convince anyone else.
As for the "other" thread, I made a total of 4 post in that thread Deb. I am pretty sure I was impartial and only reacted when ALL of the evidence was shown. You chose only to believe one side of it, not the other. Well, I chose the other. Fabricating an IP is not hard to do, especially when using a third party site like Kingsnake to do it from. Again, YOUR choice not to think so.
As for my wife not being able to use the "English Language" to get her point across. You sure ate up the article she wrote in the Wise thread right? Should I post your comment regarding that?
As for the BOI and the victims of the Wise's, I wasnt the one who decided to derail it from them. I didnt have a private chat with them trying to see who else could have possibly been involved. I handled my business with them OUT of the BOI thread and through personal contacts.
This thread was created because you and Brian feel compelled NOT to post what was said in the private chat that deals with DIRECTLY speaking to the Wise's. Oddly enough, neither one of you had anything at stake regarding the Wise's or the Wise's auctions. But, for some reason, you two feel like you have the right to hold whatever info that you have so dear to you. I would imagine that you two feel this compelled to do so because all it was could make you two accountable for what you have had to say.

That might have worked with Deborah, but did you really think I was going to tolerate it? Now, you can play the victim if you want, but you were still in the other chat (separate windows, DaveyFigXXXX) for some time...I know that for a fact because, after I banned you from Deborah's room, I went back to the main chat and looked. Maybe you got booted for inactivity, the system kicked you for some other reason, or you simply closed the window - but, once you were gone, you couldn't get back until the ban expired a couple hours later.

Harald, I gave out the password because I thought it was stupid that Christina was given a safe haven for discussion, and I figured out the password on my own. If I were given the password and asked not to share it, I wouldn't have. I was banned from the chat room after Deb asked who shared the password. I was not being disruptive, just answering Deb's question. At one point I thought I had lost my connection, and returned to the chat to be banned. I wasn't trying to come back in after being kicked out. I didn't know I had been kicked out. Deb was the one kicking Chris out, and she said I could stay as long as I was quiet. Like I said, I was quiet til she asked who was giving out the password. Interesting that when you went in and Deb was asking you to do something about Chris, you just told her to "kick him", but banned me. Was anyone else banned? I didn't even say anything when I returned. How did you get the password to the chat room?
I am not trying to be a trouble maker, and I mean no disrespect. I am however confused as to why Christina was protected while she made accusations against others, and I got kicked out just for being there. The chat log would show that I wasn't being disruptive in that chat. It may also show that I ignored your warning, but I assure you that had I seen it I would have left.

I honestly don't see what the hang-up is about sharing what was said in chat. The reasons given for not sharing aren't making much sense (and are somewhat contradictory).
1. "Nothing new was said" ......ok...that wouldn't be a big surprise, really. So why not prove it by letting everyone else see that nothing new was said?
2. "She accused others of bad things and it would be unfair to drag their names into it" ........ I agree it would be unfair to just toss their names out without the full context of what was said. BUT...if she's going to try and implicate others in her twisted schemes in order to deflect heat from herself, I think that is something everyone should know and see in writing and the people she has accused (if there really are any such) should be allowed to have their say.
3. "We're waiting for certain 'evidence' to be e-mailed to us and then it will be reviewed by a select few" ........... since when is BOI-related evidence only meant to be reviewed by a "select few"? Since when does a "select few" get to decide what is "worthy" to be shared on the BOI?
What's done is done....and hollering at Deb or Brian for deigning to consent to and facilitate a private chat with Christina is pointless. But I'm telling the both of you....whatever your motives were going in, all you're accomplishing at this point is shooting yourselves in the foot and making the entire mess even more muddier than it was a couple days ago.

I agree with everything Judy has said here.
I also wanted to ask a question. If Christina isn't privy to this part of fauna, why NOT post the chat log here? Or at least make it available to the people Christina was pointing the finger at.
To me, it looks like the people who had trust issues with Dean are only withholding this information to continue to point the finger at him. It's obvious they have something to hide, otherwise the accused would have had this information already.

Kimberly, I too agree with what Judy has said and I somewhat do understand why they do not want to post it. If its nothing tangible, why drag other people into it while if it is tangible, I am sure that they would post it in the BOI.
They can continue to point at me however they want. We were all cordial towards each other in chat when I decided to pop in. I am not even upset about the fact that they had the chat to begin with.
What I am upset about is the fact that NOT all of the truths are being told about why it happened to begin with and that they both do not see that the reason Christina sought them out or chose to speak to those two. The other people that were excluded, is because they arent the finger pointers. I hold no ill will towards Deb or Brian regarding their chat with Christina. Now, that doesnt mean I think its fair for them to try to figure out how to involve me without reprocussion(s) but hey, its not my site and I see that posting in other threads that have nothing to do with me is not in my best interest anymore.

I was in the chat, so I saw it all, and I have it all saved on my computer and a thumb drive in the form of screen shots in a Word document.
1. Christina was not calling the shots on anything.
2. She accused at least four people of doing one thing or another. I will not mention names at this time. It isn't fair to them.
3. Christina did not create the private chat room.
4. There was no FREE PASS offered here. You people are assuming way to much.
5. Christina never posted any screen shots in chat. I took screen shots of the entire chat because I don't know how to use all of the features in chat, so this was my way of saving it. I have recieved a few screen shots within the past few hours that came from Christina in emails. These are screen shots that she is trying to say back up her claims. This information will be reviewed by a select few, and then a decision will be made. None of the people she has accused will be in the select few that I mentioned.
6. I am not going to guarantee anything will be shown to the public. If it is decided that it is bull crap, then there will be no reason to share it. It will only cause more distractions, and more derailing of the facts. The waters are muddy enough and don't need to be even dirtier.
7. I explained to Christina that both of their accounts (hers and Jeffs) had full access to the BOI. She knows she can come on there.
I happened to wonder into chat and she was already there. All of the people in the private chat allowed her to speak without name calling or attacks. Some of the people kicked out were being somewhat disrespectful. So then all but Deb, Harold, and Myself remained. Whether we agreed with her or disagreed didn't matter. We allowed her to talk freely without negativity towards her.
I assure all of you. If there were in fact more people involved with this scam, then they need to be exposed. I am not siding with anyone here. I am only stating facts, and they need to be looked at. If anyone had a role in the deception, then they need to go down as well.
So everyone needs to relax a bit, and be patient. Stop assuming, and keep things in focus.

Actually your wrong here... it goes to add more proof to her MO. She is trying to hide the truth with lies... .just like the bogus check and bank statement.
Either way... it needs to come out. If she is lieing.... why protect her. Burn her.... and more evidence to show a pattern.

I was quoted on the BOI thread, and since I can't respond there, and it pertains to this, I will respond here.

I posted the above because it was stated that there was no way to ban Christina from the chat if she had access to any other part of the site. I think people think that I am whining about being banned. I'm not. If there was reason for the ban, so be it. I have been kicked out of stuff before. Live and learn. I keep bringing up the banning because it is repeated that Christina could not have been banned when people ask why she was protected in the chat room.

So lets not continue to make it out to appear that this site in some way allowed the Wises some sort of private platform to speak from.
The only way to ban them from the chat room would be to ban them from the entire site. That would only hand them the excuse that they couldn't defend or explain themselves because they weren't allowed to.
As it is they only have access to the BOI, which is a constant reminder that they are not posting to this thread by their own choice. Unfortunately access to just the BOI still includes access to the chat room, and the features that it contains. nothing can be done about that.
I would also add that entire chat sessions can be saved easily, if someone present thinks to do so. It's not entirely temporary, just not automatically permanent.

Any emails yet? Guess it takes Christina a few days to create the evidence?
I don't see why anyone would want to protect Christina and Jeff. Sorry, but that's exactly what it seems like certain people are doing, but "not disclosing" anything for whatever reason. Unless there's something said or shown that might make you believe she had a good reason for stealing all that money, why help her? Is it just to be in the limelight? To have people wagging their tails at your feet, waiting for you to throw out a little piece of information?
I've avoided that BOI thread pretty much, and Fauna in general. I already hated taking charity, though we needed it and it helped greatly. Then all this crap happened, and it's turned into a three-ring circus.
I've got some dear friends thanks to this site. Luckily I can still keep in touch with them without all the drama.
On a final note, thank you to EVERYONE that donated, to us AND to Maggie. Even if it all didn't get where it was supposed to go, the thought alone means a lot. Thanks, from the bottom of mine and Sandra's heart.
Cya.

If you chose to be silent, the one silencing you, is you yourself and no one else.
I have never accused you of anything, but I have found some of your statements to be somewhat questionable, and others have as well. I would love to see a happy ending to all of this and to see those responsible pay for their actions. If more people were involved then they need to be exposed. I don't remember Christina saying anything about me staying or not staying. Maybe Harold saved it all and he will show it, I don't know. In my opinion if this all leads to crap, then it will be of no use what so ever. It would only create more garbage to weed through. Nothing can change what has happened. People can think of me as they will, but I have not done anything wrong here, and I am protecting no one.

I have to disagree.... it will show a pattern with these two. It goes towards building a case against their character in a court of law. It should be shown for that if for nothing else.
