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.

OK, maybe I'm just feeling cranky about this whole mess, but would anyone in my shoes be just a bit irritated at someone posting a message like the one above, considering the circumstances?

Regardless of any circumstance, it is poor forum etiquette and disrespectful to post an "advertisement" to another forum without getting permission from the host/moderator prior to making the post in his or her forum....

Well for 1 I think its against the rules to "advertise" in this section and Im cranky too and I think that things should be posted where they are supposed to be.
besides that Is it supposed to be OK for bad attitudes here but, NO, rules again, flame wars and bad attitudes are SUPPOSED to stay on the BOI or HELL and then when they are not tolerated in a general forum its a big fuss, I take offense to that myself!
So I guess it is supposed to be OK to piss away rules on fauna but not on Alex's site, no offense Alex since you did not post that!

Lol,
I just had a polite (seriously it was) PM exchange with Alias about this post myself, Rich.
He said it was not triggered by Alex in any way and just wanted people to know since Alex was supposed to be the speaker tonight on Faunas gecko chat about the Macks that they can ask Alex about the macks on his site tomorrow.
I may be wrong but I honestly think Alias's motives were mack related and not trying to poke needles at an already bad situation.
But yes I found the post to be in bad taste (judgement) considering the situation.

That was pretty much the meat of my conversation with Alias, yet that was not his intentions I honestly believe. It just came out wrong.

I entirely apologize for any offense taken from my post...by anyone.
I would not have posted here for Alex had he asked me to, I posted this of my own accord...and to tell you the truth...Alex probably doesn't know about it...and probably hasn't seen it...
I was merely trying to allow the people who seemed interested and concerned with this morph and the future of it to have access to the discussion they were looking forward to...and I was definitely not trying to break the advertising rules by any means...one of the reasons I didn't post a direct link...
If they are that interested they can find it themselves...
Again I apologize...my intentions were definitely NOT to be distasteful or rude...or to cause any animosity...
Most of you know me well enough to know I am usually not adversarial...and not trying to start trouble.
When I posted it I wasn't even aware that Alex had decided not to pay the fine and pulled his advertising...I found that out from the BOI post shortly after having placed the one above.
I apologize Rich...although, it may seem like I was intentionally touching on a sore subject...hindsight is 20/20...It was never my intention...
I do appreciate everything you do for the herp community...and hope it continues far into the future...

Derek, that was a very nice post and Im sure you meant no harm, its just a touchy subject right now at best and I love Alex to death and Im upset that this has all happened just becuase it could not be kept in proper areas and I feel bad for Rich as much as he has to do and I don't think he should have to police all the fourms day and night to make sure things stay where they should.
