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.

Subject: RE: Reminder
You've been breeding geckos for 12 years ???? So you started when you were
12 years old ?????? I know you're only 24 years old now. So you're telling
me that you've been breeding geckos since you were 12 years old...but you
still need to ask other breeders for THEIR experience because you don't
know?
Richard.....go **** yourself, wanna take it to another level, I'll be more
than happy to do it. I think if you look on geckoforums.net the stupid
thread you started about me has already been deleted.""

Alicia, I saw that, Richard posted something negative about Alex, it was deleted per TOS of GeckoForums....
"Personal Attacks Against Individuals or Companies

However, Chuck's comment seems to imply something else regarding GeckoForums and that's what I was questioning.

I don't why I'm changing my mind about Alex reminding me of Chris Johnson, but he seems like more of the type of a Justyn Miller sort of icky scummy turd.
Coincidentally and quite amazingly both of them are/were big deals on geckofroums.

Bro the deal to pay back the person he owed fell through. He would not follow through with the deal they agreed too. Basicly he owed someone and I was going to get ball pythons from alex in the value owed to this other person. I was going to sell the snakes to get the person there money. I was doing this as this person owed is a friend. So he never fixed that issue either

It was my mistake. I assumed, since Alex specifically mentioned geckoforums in his response to the OP, that he was a member there and held some clout.
My mistake is a very happy one though, as it would appear his only clout is on his on his own forum website and in his mind.

well Chuck already Responded, and my assumption seems to have been right, but ill just explain myself.
I just figured chuck may have gotten the thought from that email, so i responded with that part to *sort of* answer your question, just, in a different way * i suppose * Since i didnt think he was implying anything.
to me, it seemed like Alex was implying that he was something Big over on GeckoForums with his response to the post being deleted, or something of that nature. At least, thats what *I* got from the tone of his email.

There are many legitimate reasons to be absent for an extended period of time, whether it is absent from your website, work, office, home, email, etc. Having a sick parent is definately one of those reasons, however, if you have someones money, you need to let them know in no uncertain terms what is going on. This site, as well as KS, would be two excellent places to post your situation, and explain to your customers en masse, what is going on to make you absent. It is always best to be upfront. If his mother is sick, he should have made a big post on here and KS stating the situation, dates he will be absent, phone number for emergency calls only, and maybe times and dates when he would be online to answer questions. To do nothing, really looks bad.

To start sounding like an unnamed here banned seller looks really bad, too.

LOL. Thanks for clarifying that a bit. So, he screwed up that opportune chance to do the right thing too. Kudos to you to extend a nice offer to help out a friend, even though it didn't work out. You're a good man.
Well, I don't think he should be given many more chances to get around to doing the right thing. I think it would be right smart if those international buyers he owes money to started contacting their authorities. Sometimes a good old fashioned HARD kick in the crapper is whats needed to point a person in the right direction.
