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.

That didn't work out to well for you though did it?

That was not pleasant at all.
Lead by example, that's an excellent bit of advice.
Change by sniping and snide comments and little signs, well, maybe not so good to anyone but the schmarmy.
It's the real world out there and, if I recall correctly, YOU used to be my #1 fan. I haven't changed anything much, which you were all for when you thought I'd blindly go along with whatever you did or said.
It seems your tune changed when I said something about you and your inconsistencies, abuses of position and lying.
It's fine when it was someone else but when the worm turned and you were the target, all of a sudden it was NOT the best way to behave.
Tell shrillomn I said hello and good riddance too, that was rather pathetic.

Wes, Wes, Wes, yet another example of your penchant for swinging wildly without anything to back it up other than your bloated ego. Both Monte and Lucille make valid points here. Instead of responding to them like an adult considering another point of view, we get to have ringside seats at your latest explosion of petulance. Gee....what a surprise.
This site can take a giant step towards being the sort of resource it could be once the need for petty outbursts like the one quoted above are the exception rather than the norm.

I really think that Rich has made it pretty clear as to how things will be done around here....and exactly why I have said "lead by example" Am I happy about the way some folks behave on the BOI? Heavens no! I joined "Hell so if I really felt that I needed to be a potty mouth, I could do so there.
I find no need to argue with other fauna members on the BOI, and find it counter productive. I can agree to disagree and will usually stop posting on a given thread that has truly warn out it's welcome. The TSE thread is a good example of that and so is the Allen Belcher thread.
In closing, I agree with everything that has been said here in this thread, but, the bottom line is, it's Rich's site and all of us have to live with his rules. I can disagree with under moderation or overmoderation, but Rich is the boss here and I respect him for all that he has done.

I caught an incredible amount of antagonism and abuse from people who felt they had a RIGHT to post derogatory and abusive messages on this site. I have been belittled and maligned for requiring paid members only to have the ability to post on the BOI in order to filter out most (if not all) of the false registrations that plagued it before and after, in an effort to make it more credible. And quite frankly the pittance I received did help pay for some of the effort I had to expend in order to do the cleanup, if not in the amount, but the gestures made by the people paying the fee. I saw plain and obvious signs that traffic was declining because of people just flat out refusing to pay the minimum $10 in order to help fund the effort required to do what I felt was needed to be done. When I noted the number of people declining to renew their paid memberships, it was a clear signal to me, that the value of the BOI to them, as I was trying to make it in my cleanup efforts, was not quite the price I had set.
I can't say you are all getting what you want here, but you ARE getting what your (in a broad general sense, no one in particular) actions have indicated you asked for. Yes, I am not happy with the way the BOI has become at all, and I know it could be "better". But from the results of the required paid memberships and the flak I caught because of it, the effort needed to reach that goal is not worth the pain it would take (on my part, for free) to get there.
I have learned my lesson, and I can see absolutely no reason whatsoever to repeat that attempt again.
Again, this is not directed at any one person. This is the result of a balance sheet of factors covering every aspect of this site and the conclusions I had to come to based on those factors.

Pez Wollock AKA Nobody, I see you are still looming/trolling without stating your real name. You have things to say, but your words have no meaning. Is it that you are ashamed of your real self? Or is it that your real name has too much smut?
I hear the jellyfish are here this time of year, too bad they have no back bone. They just slime along trying to see where the current will take them.
Sorry, but there is no excuse for your actions.

Nice attitude for a moderator, Bobby.
Funny thing is, based on your own posts, I believe we probably feel the same way about many of the issues here...and after all, it is the policy of the site in which you are a moderator that allows me to exist here anonymously anyway.
Hows that for irony!

Shrillomn, that is funny!! But I have a habit of calling a spade a spade. I will not see you as more than what you chose to be. It was you choice to be nothing and in doing so, you will be pitted as such. It has nothing to do with moderation, but it does in life.
Good luck on your future anonymously.

Face it guys, cowards abound and frankly, I'm obviously too good for this coward, this loose wheel in the gears of the machinery of life itself, if you will, to face me in the open.
It's not the first and likely not the last we'll see of cowardice when it comes to meeting me one on one.
It just comes with the territory, cowards flinging poo from the cover of their hovels.
It must SUCK to be so afraid of ME.
