    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Inquiry is usark scamming the reptile industry

I'm pretty sure it's just them, not wanting to waste their time, on a laughable waste of space like yourself Rodney.

A large number of us have talked to Andrew in the last week. He's busy with things that make sense...there's no point in taking the time to read your thread, where you have done nothing but ramble and hide, when asked for evidence.

For the third time, I'm going to ask this question.

Rodney Boalich...are you planning on attending NARBC, in Tinley Park, in March???

As I've already stated...you're leading the witch hunt, against USARK. You say you have better ideas. Well, I've already told you who will be attending (the major players in this hobby) and what better way to get us all to sit down and get a game plan together? Whadda ya say?

andy your a joke. you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to usark or anything else going on in the reptile industry. all you do is repeat what you hear. you have nothing to offer at all. your just as bad as jesus blackmen used to be. even he has stop acting the why you still continue to act..

no im not going to tinley. i mite be at the oct show i dont know yet.

why dont you spend some time actually producing some retics instead of playing on the internet trying to cause a problem.

In this case Richie, YES. I believe in due process, BUT, when the federal government ignores it, why should we follow it to try and stop them? Fight fire with fire, fight terrorism with terrorism, fight the US government with the same tactics they use, which is finding a way around the rules.

Perhaps I'm just a little biased though, because personally, I am sick of their intervention in matters that they should have no say so in, and I'm willing, able and ready for the needed revolution that it will take to stop them, and get things back to the basics.

it was obvious that this was going to have to go to court. and it mite work against us that 5 animals were taken off if usark did compromise. or it mite help us if there was no compromise and the animals were taken off for lack of evidence and in that case when over half get taken off do to reason of logic before the bill is passed it mite help discredit it as a whole in court.

i think that science is going to be the biggest factor once this gets to court all the other issues will help but i really think it will come down to the facts
 
We can't afford to be divided among ourselves. No matter what each of our individual feelings are to each other we must fight together.

This reminds me of something I read years ago. A big group of people who all had different issues. The first group fought for what they had, but none of the others helped. They said It doesn't affect us. Next the group just behind the first had to fight for their rights. And failed because the groups below them wouldn't stand with them. and on down the line till the last group was there and everyone else was already smashed down, they say Who will help us.


I may not have any big snakes but am willing to stand with ALL reptile owners. Turtles, frogs, snakes, lizards, everything because they will ALL be targeted. There will be nothing left if we let them take a few.


A house divided cannot stand. We MUST stand together.

Again...tip toe tip toe tip toe...tip toe, thru the tulips, with me. C'mon, everyone...sing along.

Of course you're not going to be at Tinley, in March...and I'd bet $1,000 you won't show your face in Oct either. Like I said...you have all of these amazing ideas. You must let your voice be heard! If you were so head strong, with these ideas, don't you think our major reptile players would want to hear them? You could single handedly save us, Rodney!

Same old story, with 'Ole Rod, huh? "You gotta do this! You gotta do that! How dare they! You all must agree with me! Can't you see the light!?! Oh, you want me to do what I'm telling you all to do? What? Are you crazy...of course I'm not...oh...nope, sorry. I can't make it to Tinley".

How convenient!

And, I'm not sure how your last statement is relevant. Oh...just like all the others, it's not. I don't breed Retics...just collect them. You don't have to breed them, to be a big man. I know you're a major player, though...none of us could live up to the stock that you produce.

Good try at your smoke and mirrors routine, AGAIN, though. Almost had me.

Wait a second. Did Rodney just say the quotes above? :rofl: That is some funny Hypocritical poopoo :rofl:

Thank you so much for that post. You just made me laugh. Now Replace the name Andy with Rodney. :rofl:
 
with as bad as people bash each other in this (once great) hobby, and the constant idiotic bickering and belittling, its no wonder we are going to lose this great hobby, and the way people act, we probably should. Lets all just grow up and come together, or it will be gone. I thought I graduated junior high and high school several years ago ?? Maybe not.

As much fighting and belittling and just overall rudeness, thats why I havent done much in contributing and fighting "the good fight" lately. Its been, whatever is going to happen, is going to happen attitude with me. Not only does donating money for the cause, and physically fighting for our rights help and matter, but they see this constant at-odds with each other and figure, "well they fight and destroy each other anyway, why not just take their hobby away from them fully". Instead, if we truly banded together to really fight and actually STICK UP for one another, maybe that would be another piece of the puzzle to destroy those that seek to destroy us.
Now, lets all start acting like we graduated high school and are out in the real world helping each other in this hobby. We have enough people trying to destroy us, we dont need each other helping the cause

dude you give herpvenue and andy way too much credit for anything they say. nobody cares. ive been on the phone with bob, brian and nerd about this ban. i dont need to go the whole way to tinley to talk to these people thats what phones are for
 
its a general statement that I made. It wasnt about anyone impartcular, but the bickering and ignorance has been here, in other forums, on social networks, etc. We will destroy ourselves, we dont really need any legislative interference to ban us. This has become such a cut-throat business rather than a great hobby, that it once was. I know so many people that are and have "given up" fighting, because of all the crap that actually goes on within our hobby/industry/business, they are figuring, whats the use. Im just about there myself. We are fighting to save a hobby that we are destroying ourselves. Makes very little sense.

hey andy you make some phone calls like i have. give bob a call. call nerd. call bhb. call micheal cole. the burmjunkies guy i cant think of his name.
call jay brewer i havnt talked to him but it would be interesting to hear his take on this. call all of these people and let us all know what they had to say. do you think you could do that for us andy. do you think you could at least pick up a goddamn phone and make some calls instead of just running your mouth about things you no nothing about. same gos for herpvenue. you call all these people as well.
