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.

People do contact him. He ignores them and then claims he didn't know anything.

Wes have you ever thought about leaving name calling out of it. It may help with the name thing. Call people by their names. It is respect. You show respect and you recieve it.
Just a thought.

Have you ever thought that I may have considered it and then thought I just don't care if guys like buttterball respect me?
Why don't you let me take care of me and quit shadowing every post I make?

That's of course assuming that this is his excuse...for all we know, he's just decided to forget about the fact that he OWES people their products.
So sad to see someone who once had a solid reputation lose it over something as simple as communicating with customers. If his personal life is so hectic, he needs to refund his customers their money, and get out of the damn business. Excuses, whether they are valid or not, are just that...excuses.

Oh I completely agree with you, AP. He definately has an obligation to his customers. Its just sad to see his reputation go that way. Although he offers some decent caging I dont think I will ever buy from Alan..

Apology accepted, Wes.
I'm not sure why Al has attracted your attention, but he's always been a straight-up guy by me, and would certainly be surprised if he intentionally did anything wrong. I've enjoyed his friendship for the 4 years or so I've known him from various forums, as I have yours. The wisest thing for me is probably to just stay out of the whole mess. The truth, whatever it is, will come out eventually.
Regardless, he isn't in the scope of this discussion anyway.
Take care,
Abhishek

HMM Shadow you? I would say you have now brought my name into things more then once when I have nothing to do with it.
Why not just leave me out of it. You know I will reply when a person brings my name into it. you know you will get a reaction. I think sometimes you need that reaction.
And I was not talking about Al respecting you. I was not even talking about me respecting you. You just made a post to someone becuase you go off first think second. You did post and say you were sorry I give you that. If you took a higher road and made your points. IMO it would look better on you. And you may then get a reply from the person you were posting about. And maybe fix something instead of just adding to the fire........................
About Alan.

PM about the last problem he had. Last post

Now I could go in and see when he logged into his control panel(for hosting) I believe. But I do not think that is needed. As we can plainly see this is a habit now IMO. So it looks like it has been sometime he has even been online. Who knows Alan may make this right when he is back. I am not sure either way.

Gary, we do things differently.
Abhishek, my problem with al, as with alan, is lies and double standards. Add the abuse of his position of authority to butterball's and you have it in a nutshell. I am SURE that as long as he can USE someone to further his gain or reputation, he's a sweetheart.
The thing is, once that need is fulfilled, he puts on the thumbscrews and tightens away. That is not cool.
Sort of like alan always promising it will be the last time, that he has an excuse, and on and on and on.

Wes,
Well, I'm certain that there is absolutely nothing I could do to improve Al's reputation in the hobby...I'm a very small fish in a very large sea. Al's reputation and knowledge speaks for itself, and needs no help from me. I am fairly certain that there is nothing Al could gain by being friendly to me other than my friendship...being that I have a very limited presence in this hobby, that's not exactly an ace in the hole. The same would go for you.
Again though, this thread isn't about Al.
Abhishek

Gary: Ya I hope it works out to soon. I actually picked up the Malaysian Male this weekend at NARBC and hes about 6-6.5 feet tops but a beatutiful puppy tame animal. I can't wait for it to warm up so I can get that female.
Wes: Al should go on a diff post but that your choice I don't really care either way.
And as for the other comments I sure as hell hope alan gets his stuff together and makes good if and when he shows up again. But seriously even if you have to rush to your moms side you have an obligation to your customers!
Oh also I would love some input of this.
