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.

Well, it seems that some people still don't know what is going on. Just yesterday I had someone come to me and thank me for the thread I started on Chaos. Further in the conversation I was shocked to find out the person did not know of the possible loss of the BOI. There are people who frequent Fauna that still do not know what is going on. There has to be some way to get the message out to everyone. Other than the previous ideas I posted in my last two posts I am at a loss for any new ideas.

The BOI is not the court of law. What you are opening up the BOI to is becoming another Hell forum - a place where paid members can bitch about unpaid members. I'd rather send my $25 to USARK.

Seems some people aren't quite grasping what has been said, so I'll try to make it clearer.
IF the BOI isn't deemed to be financially self sufficient, it will be shut down.
In consideration of those members that will have paid to keep it going, Rich will allow access (to paid subscribers) until those subscriptions expire. Unless I misread things, or missed an important post or three, Rich has been pretty clear about the fact that he has no intention of continuing it as a pay-to-play feature...it's an offer with a predetermined end point.

When is the endpoint? Is it when Rich retires? I'll try to put some money in.

January 1, 2010 is the deadline for funds to be raised to keep the BOI.

Should it stop there? I mean there could be legal cases popping up everywhere. Why not leave forever, so people can constantly be giving in money.

You're on it (BTW you need to include you full name here). It's the Board of Inquiry. It is where you can look up, or provide information for breeders or individuals in this hobby/industry.

Ok, I have to ask this..so what if i contributed, and he ends up shutting it down after all this..would I get my money back or...what?
I'd hate to pay money that I don't really have to pay atm, to pay for something so in a few months it goes away neways. I'm money tight and manage my money very well, and this is something I take into consideration. So just wondering. I read threw out this thread and a lot of ppl make some very good points. I agree with Rick's point as I understand fully, as well as I understand what a lot of other ppl are saying about the real basis of the BOI is. So it kinda leaves you stuck like a tick in a hot spot or something ya know.
Neways..
