    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....

Bad Guy Fauna is obsolete, webslave = coward

Haha, Interesting. Rich, them dang Sani-Chips were your downfall!

OP, you got issues. And that leads to one diagnosis: headsbeenupyourbutt halitosis.

Ok...I've officially been watching too much Doc McStuffins with my kidlets. So this is a welcome change. LOL
 
There it is. It was the Sani Chips. Rich, if you could only go back in time....

Yeah, you got me. LLL must be the sole source for the Sani Chips and I've been kissing their ass ever since that purchase by protecting them on this site to retain their favor so they don't cut off my supply when I need to order another bag sometime. I feel SOOO cowardly now..... :rofl:
 
This is the most unbiased site I have come across, so to say that Rich is unethical and shows favoritism to any business is laughable.

I agree. And as proof, this critical post has been left up for discussion.
The OP is the coward, apparently her visit was a 'hit and run', she has not returned, probably because none of the things she said were even remotely true.
 
Wondering if OP is affiliated with the website she so promoted? Shame to think she might be, believe it's doing more harm than good as a result.

It has been stated that TRR had nothing to do with it. Even if the OP said they were with TRR, I would not believe it.
 
I think it's rather insulting that you would paint all of Fauna members with a broad brush. That alone makes all of your comments look foolish.
 
Well I just clocked out and had customers and my boss yelling at me so I wanna get my internet soldier uniform on and start swinging! Hahahahaha hey spiders at least we have jobs to come home from before we get online and start throwing feces like a howler monkey!
Seriously tho I'm thankful to have a place to go to get info on someone before buying or selling something. We might not always have the same opinions but that's what makes this place what it is and even tho we do have our arguments we are still brought here by the love of the animals we into!
 
Webslave is an unethical, LLL-loving coward who censors what best serves him at the time.

Just ask webslave, he's got his nose so far up LLL's ass it's incredible. He'll edit any negative post against them.

If it were true (which it isn't), at least it's a company like LLL...imagine if he was trying to cover for the likes of Backwater.
 
If you think this is an alias account, is it possible that the op has yet another alias that she, or he, is using to look in on this thread? This is just really weird that someone would post what she hopes is a volatile thread and then disappears. Just curious.

Could be. Heck, a person doesn't even have to be logged in to be able to read this thread. In any event, I'm not sure what the desired effect was supposed to be by creating this thread, but I strongly suspect that the hoped for target was not reached. Maybe just getting that off of his chest WAS the target. In the meantime, it's just entertainment for the rest of us, so treat it as such. It happens now and again around here.

Why I remember a time, back in aught 6 I think it was, back when the West was still Wild and there was this guy down in Florida...

Fauna now has mormons and boy scouts advertising--what does that tell you about the health of the reptile website? Desperate? Absolutely.

Try TheReptileReport.com for the best reptile news, classifieds, and overall excellent coverage.

The Fauna crowd is comprised of wimps who get bossed around at work all day, then come home to judge others, because it makes them feel better about themselves. Pathetic? Sure thing! That's why Fauna is a dinosaur.

I stayed in a Holiday Inn last night, so...lets look at this post as if it was mostly a "business move" topped off with a childish rant for the moment. What would the OP look like? What business advantage or profit would they hope to gain?

1. Someone who is a direct competitior to LLL, even more is losing a decent amount of business to LLL. In a global sense, somone with semi-close geolocation to LLL, since they take it personally against them. Someone who has tried to mimic LLL unsuccessfully.
2. Someone who has an unfavorable reputation here on Fauna, specifically on the BOI.
3. Someone who would try to discredit Fauna, not because it a "dinosaur", but rather to distract viewers from finding their own poor BOI reviews.
4. Someone who is upset at the site and no longer advertises here.
5. Someone who does advertise on (not part of) TRR and has a financial reason to attempt to send viewers to their advertising dollars.
6. Someone who tries to mock advertisers on Fauna, feeling their personal advertisements on TRR are superior.
6. Someone who is a "business owner", and thinks less of or looks down on people who are "mere" employees with bosses.
7. Someone who couldn't use their real name in the profile because that would only make their business look worse and "desperate". LLL & TRR had no problem using their real names.

Put those dots together, and I'm sure you can start to envision the person behind SpidersOhMy.

I had not thought it out that far, but you have pretty much narrowed it down greatly.

Following those leads one might look directly at what the user presented and see where it might take you.

Just ask webslave, he's got his nose so far up LLL's ass it's incredible. He'll edit any negative post against them.

Now there are a few that have made similar posts that the site is bias and have downright lied about this site. If we were to take a look at them just on that small point we could probably find a few names. Particularly those that like to create alias and repost over and over again.

One example could be

The same computer was used to make another user name to start a bogus BOI thread for a transaction that never existed in retaliation for another BOI post.

Backwater has threaten the owner of this site with legal action over posts he wanted deleted.

Backwater has made a lot of bogus claims about this site. Suggesting we delete threads if it targets someone we like.

In my opinion, he is a liar, has behaved unethical on this site and has threaten this site.

So, I just kept my opinion to myself. Oh well.

Usually there is a good reason why

Or you might take the point about making up user names to slander competition. In that instances you might find an example such as

Sam apparently has forgotten that it appears someone sitting at his computer is the one that made up a user name to start a bogus thread on this site about another business some time ago.

At least we all know that he is capable of understanding that those types of actions are unethical. :shrug01:

But those searches are really just to broad.

You have to ask yourself who did all those things and also posted something specific about LLL and this site. Only one person ever did that before.

Matter of fact, only one person did all three of the above examples.

Just a example

Of course those are just facts of what has happened on this board in the past.
What it means I will let the readers decide.

While we are on facts, here is a cool little bit of information. Figuring (personal opinion of course), the user 'SpidersOhMy" isn't using their real name I took a look around the internet. Interesting note of fact I found was there was only one other place that user name was used on another forum.

At ATS

American Tarantula Society website.

User = spidersohmy
Member's website = http://www.backwaterreptiles.com

Interesting that one other place on the net where someone was using that name as a user name also belongs to the same person that fit all the above examples above.

Here's the cached page. If you click on "spidersohmy" profile's website it will take you right to backwater.

http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...e=group&start=7480+&cd=47&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Coincidence? Maybe, but just laying it at there for the readers to decide.

Oh, Wait a minute? I wonder if there is more?
