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.

Don't hold back on posting just because you can't (or don't want to) contribute right now. As a registered member, you are part of the Fauna community and welcome to post in the forums.
I saw that post about the mentor program, and agree that it sounds like a good idea. Hopefully, (if it gets started) people will take advantage of it.

Simply time
I was at one time quite a blabbermouth on the forums. I actually long for the time I was able to spend on Fauna. I made some good contributions, and made some stupid mistakes. I was (am) accepted and treated according to my own actions/comments. The time I needed to be smacked upside the head with a 2X4, I got it. I received the needed encouragement to quit being Judgemental and engage my mind more fully before letting my heart rule my thinking. I love all of you and wish I had the time to spend posting again.
I still come to the forum frequently, I just don't have the time to hang out and comment. I do the research I need, usually get the answers i am looking for, the bam I am off to work again.
I am still working my Full time job and have started up my full line pet store. I also have the hubby, 2 teenagers, 16 various pets at home that all want a piece of my time. Keeps me hopping. I am very thankful that I know where to find accurate information quickly. I hope to be able to quit my job in another 18-24 months and just work the store full time. then I will probably be back in force.
Sorry for the long answer.

I used to be a lot more active posting on the forums across the net, but have slowed down quite a bit mostly due to the fact that I am non confrontational and I do not particularly care for redundant postings. I know a lot about chondros and my local native snakes, but that's about it and rarely have anything significant or educational to add to existing threads.

Believe me, you are not alone in that. Unfortunately, many people are of the mind that "researching" means asking on a forum. I still do find myself suggesting that people do some research, utilize the search functions on the forum, THEN post remaining/unanswered questions. I don't intend to come of as confrontational, or scolding, but I probably have at times (I'm working on that, lol). As some of us have discussed, we can't/shouldn't ignore threads/posts just because we have responded to the subject matter 14 times in the past 35 days. And sometimes, getting the same advice from several people is what it takes to get through to somebody, lol.

You might be surprised...even something as seemingly trivial as a different way of doing the the same thing can be of major help. Me, I'm more of a generalist...I keep a variety of species. Always have. I have tried to narrow it down, even to specialize, but I keep finding my attentions turning to this or that. The nice thing is that there is room for all of us, and we can all help somebody
**AAAGH. What is this sicky sweet, nice thing that has invaded my crankiness? : Next thing you know, I'll break into a chorus of It's a Small World After All or We are the World

I do appreciate your input, and that you expanded on your explanation a bit.

Mark made some good points and I too have thought that the Forums would get more attention if they were noticed, heck I was a member for a month or so before I noticed most were down there. Randy

You might want to put a bit of a twist on it to make it your own, lol- I have also copied this same thread to the Feedback Forum (or if you want, I can put it there, too, lol)
