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.

You are aware that it's not kosher to post other people's pics without their permission and without crediting them for the pic, right?

ISSUE OF COPYRIGHTS
Based on the following Supreme Court decision (Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Internet Service Co., 499 US 340, 349(1991), an article can be electronically printed or copied, in its entirety, if complete attribution is included: author, date, publication and that its copyrighted, and published by a non-profit organization that receives no money for its publication. This means that herp societies, that dont charge membership fees, have to summarize an article since both parties tacitly agree that by no payment of membership dues, they're not paying for certain services, such as receipt of the graphic image.

Kind of testing something here... Determining if posts can be edited by users in the photo forums and what, if any message is displayed when they are.
In that I personally don't remember Gregg's URL being up there before and frankly I doubt it would have caused the stir that it did.
Beyond which... In addition to pissing everyone off with your lies on the thread which has turned into a venomoid debate- regardless of the legalities of posting credited photos online, it's not POLITE and is NOT a good way to behave on a public and widely used herp board. The owner of the photo, while a fairly laid back guy, obviously didn't appreciate it, obviously wasn't asked for permission and is very much so a respected individual in the hobby. Think long and hard about the toes you're stepping on and what they might tell their friends.
Edit: Yes, users can edit their own post in these sections.
Second Edit: And there is no message on the post indicating if it was edited, when or by who... So I'm going to go ahead and say that Gregg's URL was edited in after this kid got in trouble. Seriously now... just how many lies do you want to be caught in and how much back peddling will you have to do before you realize that you can't get away with BSing on a site like this?

an <b>article</b> can be electronically printed

As a photographer I know for a fact that the <b>Photograph</b> can't be printed or used in any form without the consent of the photographer. If you look at the text you posted it say <b>ARTICLE</b> not photograph.
I have had nature images stolen and I can tell you from my personal experience that Gregg could get you for copyright infringement if he felt like it Especially since he has the following clearly printed at the bottom of his index page:
"Copyright © 2004. All rights reserved!!"
Regards,
