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.

Obviously you need to list all of the sites listed on FaunaTopSites as well. And how many registered members are there here in FaunaClassifieds right now?
It may be easier to list everyone that is NOT being boycotted!

Hmmmm, that is true. And I suppose you'd have to include all the members of those sites as well as they have a direct impact on the amount of support Fauna recieves.
Well rather than list all 410 FaunaTopSite members, let me just provide a link  http://www.faunatopsites.com/index.html
Remember people, its the members of these sites that influence how much support Fauna recieves by among other things the number of views of the FaunaTopSite image.
When deciding who to buy from, be sure to reference the membership lists at the following sites:
ReptiBid
sSNAKESs
TurtleTimes
Redtailboa
The Boaphile Forums
Reptile Forums
Gecko Island
And so on.....
This is fun 
Wonder how many of these people would be interested in TShirts proudly declaring themselves among the boycotted?

Based on the criteria for being included in the boycott, I'd say Jeff Barringer is the only person on that list.

Think again! If the boycott extends to people that harbor and support my business, then it extends to kingsnake! I'm a sponsor over there.
I'm also friendly with moderators as well.
Start boycotting kingsnake fellas!

I don't know if he's extended it that far, but if he has, let's go ahead and include friends of the boycotted. Then we'll apply the theory of six degrees of separation and Mario can boycott the entire population of the planet.

Well he's boycotting Fauna because they harbor me and my "criminal" activities.
By the same token that should apply to every site that I participate in doesn't ban me on the spot in support of his boycott.
You better start boycotting the more popular IRC servers as well, I've been known to show up and chat with other Fauna members there!
But you're 100% correct Clay, and that's my point. Mario better start boycotting the entire world or rethink his boycott (which even he is not participating in) and just move on.
No one is being hurt that's on the recieving end of Mario's pretend boycott. No one cares beyond the amusement value of it all. No one except Mario and Rakell. It's long past due for them to move on with their lives.

Apparently he's a tool...

I made that list.
Mario is calling for the boycott of Fauna and all its members and supporters.
On Mario's site someone inquired about purchasing from Sundial Reptiles. While he would not comment on the quality of their animals, he flat out said that they support the criminal activity that happens here and thus shouldn't be supported with business.
You can expect the same treatment as an active user of this forum.
