HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOI!!!

Wow, it is really hard to believe that it has only been three years. I started posting here under one of the older versions (not certain if it was the original one or not) sometime during the early summer of 2001, but it seems like it has much, MUCH longer than that. It has been informative, interesting, and irreplaceable from the very beginning.

Thanks, Rich!

Why does it seem M-U-C-H older than that??

Congratulations... definately seems like it has been more than three years...

cheers to you!

Thanks Rich,
Boi is probably the most valuable tool in the reptile industry. Thanks for all your hard work.

It would have been nice to have a heads up on this. I could have sent my annual donation in and got two for one. Any way Rich, I was thinking about early Jan 04 to send the donation. Keep webslaving!

Thanks Mr. Z for a darn good site. I've learned a lot about the herp world - both good and bad, and it has shaped the way I try to do business with people.

You've done well. Thank you.

Thanks everyone. We did have a real rocky road through one stretch, but that is all behind us now and all we can do is grow and try to make our world a better place.

I would have thought trying to make a worthwhile beneficial website would have been a no brainer, and be pretty much univerally supported. After all, I am really taking the heat from the flak that originates on the BOI, which takes it off of other webmasters. But after getting banned from one webmaster's site and then boycotted by another because of it, heck, what do I know? Both are pretty comical efforts to put the brakes on what they see happening here. In the former instance, all it did was to spur me on to even greater efforts to make this site work.

So much for that.......

Thanks for being a part of this. YOU are the ones that made this site. I just gave you the tools.

Rich Z.

It seems like a lot longer than three years. I guess that's what happens when we come here almost every day. I thought it was a great site in 2001 Rich but you consistently make it better.
THANKS RICH

A Toast to the Board of Inquiry.

Before it was here, none were imune
To the foibles and scams of those who would view
To take all our money and our reptiles too.

Then along came the webslave who had had enough.
He creadted a place to share knowledge and stuff
And he never backed down when the going got tough.

Through law suits and threats, this board did persist.
Through fighting, fake morphs, and deals to resist.
To educate customers so scammers can't subsist.

To The Webslave I say, This is only the begining!
We'll keep the site going as you were intending,
And the world will be better, for time never-ending!

Happy Birthday BOI!
