    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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 Mike Matson of Mike's Phat Frog is a scammer !!

Swahn, you have an awful lot of negative things to say about a site you joined a few hours ago. You can't possibly had time to read enough threads to get a true feeling for how this site works and all the good it's helped make happen.
 
If you read this entire thread, you will see that even from years ago, Mike used the same sort of threatening, behavior against those who dared to criticize him. Here, from the very first post on this thread
I will be uploading 46 images which will compose the entire conversation having to do with this deceptive con.
Also just want to pre warn he told me if I went through with this he would contact his lawyer friends to give me an order for cease and desist. He pleaded for me to post this in the Facebook group called " BOI- Reptile Feedback " but knowing how nobody checks for fake profiles or fake accounts and it seems he has many friends that like to "troll" from them, I told him good luck with that and we'll see what happens on the real BOI.
Nothing new, but he is stepping it up now, desperate to crush dissent because he wants to open this pet store presumably because the frog business is not doing well due to his personality issues and poor transactions.
That's why he is currently trying to rename himself yet again with a new name and company in Victorville california. He is wanting to open a perstire called high desert reptile
I'm betting a lot of people in Victorville, Ca. are going to get links to this thread.
Don't worry I opened my page back up.
I’m not interested in your page, except to mention that I believe it was a tactical error on you part to mention Fauna enough times so that you can no longer float your BS, because many readers then came over here after your mention and are reading the truth about your misdeeds and poor transactions. Over 94,000 views on this thread alone, and there are a lot more bad guy threads about you that visitors can read.

As far as Cher, Mike just doesn’t get it. He has bullied her into an apology, that doesn’t make his actions any less wrong.
There is a crime, statutory rape. Even if the underage child agrees to the sexual exploitation, it is still rape, and still a crime. Similarly, bullying a child is still wrong, even if you put so much pressure on the child that she actually apologizes after you hurt her.
For shame, Mike. You haven’t ‘resolved your issues’. You’ve harmed a child.
 
I honestly don't think anyone with self worth cares about the BOI. It's where complainers come to complain, right? I'm here to restore some honor. I've owned a business before--customers are not always right--there are many horrible customers out there--the type that complain here. It's like deja-vu.

sorry maybe doing an injustice but with the time of join i would say this is just another Matson crony trying desperately to paint him in a better light, not sure he has enough cronies in this world for that to happen

Could be wrong but I don't think this person is a "Matson crony" as much as he is a BOI basher. I strongly suspect that he is not who he claims to be either. From reading some of his other posts, he reminds me of someone else who made false claims about the BOI ... especially when it came to LLL.

Even for you this is a low shot ms. hollander. Rape is not something to be tossed about like a volleyball. mike has been a lot of things but NOTHING even close to a rapist. Shame on you ms. hollander.

mike, once again I offer the same advice. Shut up and go home.

She didn't compare mike to a rapist. She used an analogy to reference how easy it is to coerce a child.pretty sure everybody on here recognizes that.
And frankly I think it's spot on.
Mike talks about CHer like everything is fine and they are friends. That's clearly not the case.

It's a terrible analogy. She's stoking the fire. I'm pretty sure everybody here recognizes that.

What do you think reposting a video made towards a 15 year old girl is? What do you think mike encouraging a bunch of people to call a child the b word is? What do you thing mike encouraging people to cuss at her is and use the f word? What do you think threats to her family in the comments section of the video are?

Sounds like stoking the Fire to me.

Pretty sure everyone also recognizes that you are coming to the aid and defending someone whos actions are indefensible.

Also obvious you have some underlying issue with Lucille. Im pretty sure everybody here recognizes that.

Well, I've got the perfect solution for you then. :wavey:

If you want to express your opinion here, next time don't register using an anonymous proxy, and use your REAL NAME in your profile.

There is nothing underlying about it. She is a lying coward hiding behind you and many other men. If you are foolish enough to think that I am in any way supporting mike, and no matter how many times you say I am I say I'm not and I really am the one who should know, then it makes her manipulation of you that much more understandable.
 
lucille I think you have some screws loose. Your manipulation and assumptions are great. My business is struggling 😂😂😂 I attached a sales summary of just PayPal from last year. This years report will look much better than that one. Just to shut you up with all of your assumptions and yes I know I don't have too post it. That doesn't include show transactions or most of my wholesale transactions. You think I am opening up a store because the frog business is struggling. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
I'm opening up a store in my area because
1 There is no competition.
2 There are no full line stores anymore.
3 gives me an additional daily income that I can start contributing towards a retirement.

You've tried to hit me below the belt a few times and I've let you do it without much pushback. I'm sure you are mad about me not deleting the Facebook post about you. Like I said those will not be deleted because of your 6 years of constant post, assumptions, low blows and harassment towards me on this site.

I'm going to listen to wil and stay off this post now. Lucille Hollander you are walking a fine line trying to compare me standing up for libel against myself and rape.

It seems to me that the louder Mike and the minions howl, the more they are trying to divert attention away from a post.
 
I am going to listen to wilomn/Wes and no longer comment on here as this thread is just becoming a list of assumptions that have no facts behind them.


Cher apologized to me for her actions.

Chers sister apologized for the trouble this has caused me and has taken this up with her family and they will deal with Cher. As far as that goes the topic is closed between Cher and myself.

Jay sommers you can assume and use whatever words you wish. You still have yet to call me to schedule anything. Like I said you have no backbone because the keyboard is where you act tough.
