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 never met Chuck either, but his posts were always entertaining. He usually got the point across better than anyone else. He will definitely be missed! RIP Chuck...and my condolences to his family...

Chuckisms ....
He made me laugh, made me grin, made me think, and inspired. He even made me wince a few times ... but he never failed to be true to what he believed and cared about.

Stuff like that can launch a war in here and its exactly what Rich is trying to detract from this site.
Not that your feelings don't count, but my idea is we make a thread Hell where we can all lay out our feelings for one another and what puts each of us off about each other.
Maybe we'll understand where we all stand and not do the things that get us clawing at each others throats in other vital areas of the board."

I don't know what to say....I have read through all of these pages, I have to admit - alot I couldn't really read because of the tears in my eyes. The picture of "Vince" was the best - made me laugh, which I didn't think was possible right now. Also, some of his quotes, they were wonderful, as was he!
Rich, please don't be mad at me for saying this - I know the only thing that would have made him happier about this place was to have Wes back. I know a lot of people will not know what I am talking about, but he truly admired and cared about Wes. I know that Wes was a "thorn in your side" - but for Charles to admire someone so much says alot to me. I just couldn't live with myself if I didn't say his name and say how much he meant to Charles. Rich, he understood everything you have ever done and had such an incredible amount of respect of you and what you try to accomplish with this place everyday.
I just got home from the funeral home and made his final arrangements. We are going to have a one day service for 3 hours because Charles' wish was to be cremated and did not want to be "laid out". He didn't want anyone going through that grief for 3 days...that is just how he was.
My husband hated seeing anyone get the "shaft" and that is what drove him to do what he has done here for so many years. He always had a way of seeing through people, or seeing through their typing. He could catch a lie in a second, trust me!!!
This place meant a great deal to him and I hope that it thrives and continues for many years to come.

i think that Chuck will giggle from Heaven if Wes is allowed to come back.
He and Chuck often tag teamed on the BOI. I know that Wes was not loved by everyone, but I for one would love to have him back!
Maggie if there's anything I can do for you, ask, don't be shy. We loved Chuck and we love you!

Though, like many of you, I didn't have the honor of meeting Chuck in person, I couldn't agree more with much of what has been said.
Chuck has been one of the few people that had earned my respect in life. One of the few that was willing to stand up for what he felt was right regardless of what others said. His contributions to the BOI, Fauna in general, and as far as I'm concerned all of our lives, will be missed greatly, but never forgotten.
It's amazing how a person can have such an impact on so many lives without ever even meeting many of the people who have been influenced. I for one, though I am not anywhere near as active as I used to be on here, will surely miss Chuck. Not only for his crazy antics and brutal honesty, but for the fact that... well... mostly for his brutal honestly actually...
Rest in Peace Chuck...
