Sad but not surprising and I would just like to thank you for the many years of dedication to the BOI and the adversity it generated at times .

It will be missed by those who know it will be missed.... if you know what I mean.

I have to honestly say that I certainly won't miss all the headaches.

On that point I would concede!

Good luck with your future.

Still be around as long as Fauna is around buying and selling.

Much preferable to that other rag………..

My thoughts on this are that there may be members who would like to access the BOI, but did not have an active paid membership prior to 02-02-2019, and not find it worthwhile to pay a regular membership for just the remaining time it will still be here. So I think it fair to give them an option that might better suit their needs in the limited time the BOI will still be available.
After due reflection, I decided this was a waste of time and effort. The BOI (in all it's forms here) will be gone on 02-02-2020. So no sense overly complicating things. I've seen all I need to see. I had hoped perhaps the restricted access would be a signal flare that would mean something to some people not aware of the future plans for the ending of the BOI, but apparently, this will be a an insignificant event for the overwhelming majority of registered members here. Oh well, can't say I didn't at least try.

Accordingly, I have just reopened the BOI forums as they used to be to all members, since it really doesn't matter anyway now. This decision is now set in stone.

Honestly, had I not made a commitment to keep the BOI open for paying members as of 02-02-2019, I would shut the Board of Inquiry down right now and be done with it. But it is what it is.

Sorry about the apparent waffling trying to figure out the best way to handle this.

On question. Once the BOA is gone, you will be deleting everything? Not archiving any of it? I feel that some threads might be worth keeping. But I understand if you just delete everything.

Okay. More than one question. Sorry.

Just out of curiosity, "worth keeping" to whom?

I'm mainly wondering about some of the big threads. Like the Ty Park's one. I know some people still refer to it in some groups when people ask about him.

Sorry but I don’t buy any of this as a valid reason(s). Recently Facebook had a massive crackdown on all animal sales and has deleted many Reptile groups. I have noticed a big influx of users online here on fauna just in the last week. Personally I feel the BOI is a priceless tool for the online herp community. It really sucks to see it go. I am sure the scammers and scumbags are relieved to hear that their past transgressions are about to be wiped clean from record. One them even had the audacity to come to one these threads and hint about possible coming legal trouble for the owner of the site. As much as I dislike this person I think they were telling the truth. Rich, would you like to come forward and admit that’s why you are getting rid of the BOI? Have you been served with papers or have you received paperwork from a law firm giving you a last chance to delete the BOI or run the risk of being sued? I look forward to reading your reply. Thanks!

GOOD REDDENS!

You and Connie take a well deserved break....

Maybe then, you can cut back on Excedrin.
