    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....

I want to warn people of Chris Kennard.

Most people in life don't like when things go wrong, a deal goes bad, or not the way one or both party's thought. Conflict is very upsetting to people.

But Chris and a few others thrive on other peoples disagreements. He get's excited and take enjoyment in other peoples mishaps. Thats discussing. It seams like he get's excited when a new BOI starts. He must, because if anyone checks on his post he's currently fighting, VIA his keyboard with several people. Some people read, watch TV collect stamps etc. Chris Kennard's hobby is this. And he's not even good at it. It took him 3 days questioning a guy in Germany on time zones. After several days of harassing he result to name calling.

He has 2107 post. Most if not all are harassing and antagonizing people. He thrives on getting into peoples misfortunes. He has a ZERO trader rating. Meaning he has not ONE person that has said he's a good guy. So, Take what he says with a GIANT BOULDER OF SALT!

Garrett,

Those who take their own time and actively participate in the BOI do so to help many avoid bad transactions and save people money and aggravation, and the dialogues initiated and subsequent answers by the parties involved help prospective customers decide who they would want to do business with in the future.

The entire BOI experience is based on participation, and Chris is an active participant and is owed thanks, not criticism, for his time.
I can see why you might want to deflect attention away from yourself and toward Chris in the recent Bad Guy thread started about you.
To refresh your memory, here is the initial post:

This Post is about Garret Smith and how he is collecting money from numerous people including myself and has taken several months to deliver the animals or money to refund , I sent him money back in 1-07-15 when he told me weeks before he was able to get Saara Hardwickii legally exported out of Pakistan i asked him many times to send me copies of CITES and a Invoice of it and still to this date I have not received anything to show any sort of proof of it. He has been importing animals in between and actively posting listings of animals for sale or animals he can get , but yet has never any attempt to refund me my money of $6500 whether he really is selling animals or is falsely making false ads to reel people in , I want people to know to save themselves the hassle and not deal with him . He has been taking me for a ride on refunding me my money cause i sent it through a bank transfer which was a horrible choice for me to do , i should of paid through paypal cause i know i would of got my refund a long time ago. He Has told me he would give me a group of Ctenosaura Defensor and we could call it even even though i would still be very short on money for the 3.3 group he offered me , he has also said as soon as he would sell some geckos he recently imported and start refunding but yet again has not paid back one penny. He is recently now starting to say i was his business partner importing the Saara Hardwicki but we never signed no legal document or has he ever showed me paper work for them . I will be posting several pics of text messages of how many months i been waiting for animals i paid for and how many times i have been asking for a refund.

To the OP, if you have an issue with a certain member, then simply block them. All posts and classifieds will be locked to you and it won't show up. It really helps to just do this, and then get on with things.
 
You just made me choke on my coffee Harald!
Nice try Garrett trying to deflect attention from your bad guy post. I'm pretty sure this had the opposite effect from what you were trying for. You've only made yourself look worse. You sound like a whiney child trying to tattle on someone else because you got in trouble! This isn't the romper room, let's try to act like adults here please!
 
All this because you will not produce the import papers for your own bad guy thread? Really?

You could make this all stop. Just produce the import papers.

I consider this just a random tandem of his own bad guy thread.

I suspect (hope) I'm not the only one who thinks that your typical class-clown routine has long since worn thin. Your Karma rating may do little more than show how easily some people are amused.

Harald habitually makes thoughtful posts that actually address the issue at hand; I doubt anyone will begrudge him the right to occasionally poke someone who desperately needs it. You, on the other hand, habitually post useless one-liners that are generally just irritating, adding nothing with even the vaguest semblance of any real value. Since you seem to be implying that your posting habits are somehow comparable to his, this looked like a good time for a much-needed reality check. Carry on. :thumbsup:

I'll call BS on that one - I just looked at your infraction list, and you've not been given an infraction for those posts. The images and videos you were warned privately about - and it's been a long while since that sort of thing was deemed acceptable on the BOI, so an infraction would have been justified. Anyway, I took down my moderator colors before posting in this thread, to make it very clear that I'm posting as a member (Garrett doesn't seem to recognize that the moderators are, first and foremost, members of this site - and able to express ourselves as such).

Anyway, back on the topic of this thread - I have never done business with Chris Kennard...likely because he has only posted one ad here, back in 2006. My guess is that is the reason for his lack of Trader Ratings, rather than the nonsense Garrett posted. Judging from his posts, I'd expect plenty of good guy threads and positive ratings, if he was an active seller,
 
this has to be one of the most pathetic attempts yet by Garret to deflect attention away!
Yes Chris can be brash and abrasive but so what?
He makes good points and searches for the complete picture
Very simple if you have done no wrong then you would have nothing to hide
If you cant stand the heat keep out of the kitchen Garret!
Carry on Chris!
Have at em!
 
Garrett, upon locating your Facebook page, you look to be at least in your 30's. There's really no excuse for throwing a tantrum like this. If you're upset about your bad guy thread, handle it like the mature adult you should be, not by retaliating childishly in a way that makes you look even worse.

LMAO! I'm flattered. First of all Garrett, I do "get excited and take enjoyment in other people's mishaps", but only if they lie and scam. Like you. As you can see from the responses in this hilarious thread, people here are quite talented at seeing through scammer's BS. As you can see, Garrett, there's nowhere to hide here and no one to hide behind. Good luck with this thread, lol. I have to go check on another thread about a scammer called frogman. Toodles.
 
Have you ever done business with Chris Garrett? I fail to see how posting on boi threads has anything to do with how Chris conducts business or treats his animals. Last I checked you haven't given a single valid reason for people to avoid doing business with chris. We all know the reason you posted this, to try to draw people's attention away from your thread, but I'd really like to know what reason you have for posting a warning to potential sellers or buyers. I doubt you actually have a valid one, and no posting on boi threads isn't a valid reason!
