• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

5/28/13 I spotted a nice Nosy be panther chameleon this guy posted on chameleonforums.com. I payed Paypal using the friend/family option because he "didn't want to get hit with Paypal fees" I figured i shouldn't have any problems because hes been a member since 2006 and chameleonforums member since 2008 and is selling and sold a few chams. I received the chameleon with a huge burn scar from a heat lamp 5/29. Emailed and messaged him immediately and sent photos to accompany it and no response yet. Hes signed onto fauna as I'm typing this. I would be happy to take a small discount on him and keep him but this 40 year old loser wont even acknowledge me. It is the same cham but he just used older pictures. This is the pettiest scam to ruin your rep over.

You lost me.
You don't buy animals over the Internet? You just posted about buying and receiving an animal with an injury from the Internet.
 
Somebody needs to learn to play better with others...or at least drop the attitude back a couple notches. (Yes, I'm referring to you, Mafia89)
 
I don't have patience for childish trolling especially when I'm posting a thread about being a sent an injured animal.

If you're referring to me, I wasn't trolling. I thought I may have overlooked something.
Unfortunately, with your attitude, and past posting history, it is hard to take you seriously.

Thanks for the help Mr. Moore. I'm sure he has seen my messages and I'm sure he knew exactly what he was doing when he sent me old pics and boxed him for shipping.

With all respect, maybe you being so sure is part of the problem people have with you.
Yes, it has been two days since you received the chameleon; but there are real world reasons for delays. I know this might be hard for you to fathom, but your approach could have been at least part of the reason you haven't received a response. For example, here's one of those messages, left on Mr Marshall's profile (visitor message) the day before you started this thread:

While we are waiting for Mr Marshall to comment, would you mind showing us the emails, and/or PMs, that you have sent him since the chameleon arrived?

I don't know what we are waiting for? This guy is clearly ignoring your messages and mine for 2 days. what more evidence could you need.

I sent him an email at 10:40am almost immediately after the cham was taken out of the box and i noticed that he was misrepresented. I also attached a pic of him as he took his first steps out of the box which is that smaller pic attached to the original post.
 
I don't like relaying messages/speaking for people on the BOI; so I won't comment on what he said in his response to me...but, that he did respond means he didn't ignore my contact.

Having said that, your response had nothing to do with the question I asked you. What I asked was

funny cuz he wont respond to me and id love to hear what he honestly said to you as an excuse for sending me a burnt animal. Why wont he respond to this thread and defend himself.

to answer your question sure i dont mind sending you the emails and messages but that isnt going to solve anything.

Why would you ASSume that his response included an excuse?

Don't send them - post them. Right here, for all to see. (If you used foul language, :censored: it.) It might not solve anything, but they definitely serve a purpose.

well mr.moore ASSumed that becuase what other reason could you have for injuring an animal and then pawning it off on some one else? im putting together pics for you
 
cham

"Mafia89" Stop Pm'ing about your problem you had with geomeloen.

All I did was post the cham he just sold me and what a great experience I had doing dealing with him on the chameleonforums general discussion.

BTW, something just doesnt sound right about this. I highly doubt he would send you a burned cham. Thats a pretty obvious burn not like one you can overlook on the belly.

Anyway I dont want to hear your bs anymore. I cant get you to stop pm'ing so maybe this will work. Im not going to argue with your pm's all your doing is taking up my pm space and time.
 
That pic was taken minutes after arival. if you knew anything about thermal burns you would know that black scar wouldn't show up immediately.
