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.

Constrictors.com - Cheating on FaunaTopSites.
Well, I caught another one cheating on the topsites. Constrictors.com this time.
I checked the access log and found a HUGE number of closely spaced hits from a single IP address. Then the webmaster of ReptileForums pointed out an automatic refresh page for this site with nothing on it but the various topsites links he was subscribing to.
His site has been deleted from FaunaTopsites effective immediately.
I will be going through and auditing some other sites that are looking suspicious.

Mr. Wilbanks called me and apologized profusely for his actions. Apparently he just had a lapse in good judgement.
He indicated that he was withdrawing his participation in ALL of the topsites programs as a self induced atonement.
I give him credit for not even trying to cover his error with any attempt at obscuring the facts or putting the blame on someone else. He just took his lumps like a man and is moving on.
As such, I do have to give him credit for being honorable about accepting full responsibility himself. It was very refreshing for me to not being lied to, and have someone act like an adult.
My regards, Mike.

Way to go Mike.
See I know of his reputation and I was shocked that he did this because I have always thought of him as one of the excellent people out there.
But like you said.......it was just a lapse.
Glad to know he takes responsibility and is the man I know he is.

Heck, Ritchie, I'm glad you knew what he was talking about. I thought I had had a stroke and could no longer understand written English.
No, Ritchie Luna is not me. He's much prettier in a dress than I am...
