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.

In one sense, Webslave has opened up an interesting forum for people who may not have known about venomoids...I am thinking of the newbie who has a few herps, but is perhaps glancing at that "safe" Monacled Cobra at JoeSchmoe's Pet Emporium. Maybe by reading how ridiculous, sick, twisted, and unethical venomoids are, he will actually take the time to learn how to safely maintain "hot" animals without having to mutilate them.
I don't agree with allowing the ads here...but, it isn't my site, and he is entitled to do what he wants with it. He is giving us a chance to voice ourselves though, which is commendable.

No one is arguing with your right as owner of your own site to exclude anything you do not like. If you wish to exercise that power in reference to reptile related items, no one denies that you have that power. And, you even have the right and freedom to leave your site, come here and visit, and talk about your own personal advertising policies.
I am not sure why you keep on making reference to smooth roads:
" But remember the path to knowledge is a rough road but once you are there it smooths out"
but if it means you have reached the point where you feel you need no further education, then you must be quite learned, indeed......
|
Just becuase a road gets smoother does not mean it dos not continue. But as you learn about a subject more knowledge is gained more easily(sp). I never said you hit a brick wall.............................

Are there hidden agendas here? Is someone using this forum to dig at someone else? Perhaps because that someone who is doing the digging has no other place to dig so? And if such is so, why, I wonder, is that?
If not then- move along folks, there's nothing to see here.

From what I see, there have been polite exchanges and perhaps some differences of opinion; although I think there is a consensus as to the necessity and wisdom of education.
Polite difference and exchange of opinion, and the exchange of knowledge, are part of the benefits of these forums, n'est ce pas?

Yeah I was curious as to the digging as well. I don't mind people sharing their knowledge and wisdom but as was stated before as a paying member I think I should be able to voice my concerns about was is advertised here. What I get tired of is people acting as if their line of reasoning is so well thought out that no one elses opinion bears credibility. It always amazes me how some put themselves on such high pedestals and treat those who disagree with disdain and are degrading in general. I don't agree with voids but I do believe that it should be discussed in the appropriate forums (freedom of speech). I don't see that carrying over to advertising. How many big corporations have pulled endorsements because said entertainer or athlete did not meet up to ethical expectations? Why would that be so bad on this site? I think that there is a line drawn in the sand. I garuantee you Rich will not allow pro-life ads, or ANTI-GUN ads, porn ads etc... He is taking a stand on those issues why not on this one? Anyways that is my ranting and I am just debating the issue it is Rich's site and understandably he can do with it as he chooses but one of the things I enjoy about this site is I can question he decisions and not be banned. I am allowed to agree to disagree.

The advertisement block that I purchased ended and I'm not planning to renew it at this time. Please contact the owner of this website if you have concerns regarding their advertisement terms of service because although many of you do not agree with my decision to purchase ad space, I read the TOS. I respect everyone's opinion on my previous ads and on this controversial topic and if I find myself stepping on someone's toes, I can always move. I do not think there was anything wrong with having a couple ads for one week and the best some of the members could do would be to simply refresh their browser; however, they won't have to worry about that for now.

What are you talking about?
You still have a banner ad here.
I just saw it across the top.

I purchased two banners. One for the Hamburg show that ran until Sat and the top one I think it ends today or tomorrow. Anyway, there might be just a few bucks left on that one I think.
