    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....

Good Guy Frogman11-Garrett Smith

Smith....
Chris has already suggested you pick a forum to debate or go to pms
Yet again you go and react like a lil child and spoil what was possibly a good boi for you, now all ANYBODY is going to see is two grown men acting like little children

I suggest the pair of you grow up and take it off this BOI, before a mod acts.
You both know better than this.......

Why should this go to PM's. Chris goes out of his way to crucify people on this sight, does background searches, etc. Garrett has every right to defend himself, especially on his own "good guy" post. Chris, your criminal record doesn't surprise me. You seem like the type. Hey, but at least they love you on the BOI! You got that going for you! Congrats!

Why should this thread be any different than the others? They've all become slanging matches and mean spirited.

Maybe it is time to return the thread to evidence and opinion, good and/or bad, of specific business transactions of the person mentioned in the title of the thread.

Oh sorry. I forgot that I'm suppose to take all the lies and then post any comebacks on another form.

Chris, the red "chicklets" are mainly from 2 people Lynn Peterson who just left me another one today. I think your up to 40 negative karma on me now Lynn. and one other guy that has left me 35+ negative karma. Karma abuse is also agents the rules. But not for the regular trolls

Its because of people like Chris Kennard and a few other are allowed to run feral with nothing said. Its only when you stoop to their level, Then the admins or the other BOI regs come out and say "hey your acting like a child" Chris Kennard and the other do NOT want positive out comes on these. They thrive on the negativity.
Its disgusting!

Yep! Thats how 90% of them go. I don't know your situation, I didn't read yours. The BOI regulars are allowed to attack you and break the "rules" If you stand up for your self you will get more people jumping on you like a pack of wolves. Then the admin will come out and tell you to knock it off. Just realize most people that keep reptiles don't read the BOI's and if they do take them with a grain of salt. They've become a joke.

Again, I didn't read your BOI so I don't know what happened. But just remember its one web-site that you can make go away with one click...

Anyway...theres a lot of mob mentality, here but there are some that can think for themselves. David is just chris's familial lap dog....

but don't give up on everyone, here...just the mindless bully sidekicks!

there's too many that fear standing up for others on here. i've heard about you and that you've made some mistakes. i've also heard you've made some great deals and done some great things, so.....

whatever....i personally feel like you have the right attitude about this place. for those that think me cussing out a guy cuz i was furious w him (later turned out to be not the case, but i was using my qualified privilege to warn my fellow members of this community i've been a part of for a long time--even if it was done by accident, when copy and pasting) was "despicable?" well, you already know most of his background....you should spend the extra money for the premium report (i did)...it's pretty amusing...apples dont fall far from the tree, either.

just wanted to give you a bit of support because most people are too scared of being attacked by those that do it so well, here....IMO, this place is quickly losing its credibility and the drama pot has to be constantly stirred to get in those paying sponsors, doncha know.....
 
Traci, you should send Garrett some money for some animals and see how it works out for you. I'm quite sure you'll be begging for some underweight skinks at the end of that deal. And the only drama mongering I'm seeing here is you whining and not knowing a thing about what you're talking about.
 
Hi, I'm new, this is my first post, ever. And I just have to say, after reading this thread, I would never deal with Garrett Smith, or you Traci A Borgmeyer. BOTH of you have behaved deplorably here and in other threads.

If what I have read in the past week or two of reading this site is correct, then you both are violating the rules. And as I've seen other people state, usually the ones that have issues with the BoI are people who have been caught in their lies. And so far, from what I've read, this is true.

Congratulations, you've helped me add two more names to my "do not deal with" list. Thank you.

I've spent over $15k with Garrett so far and am very pleased with the animals he's shipped and his responsiveness. My experience has been nothing but positive.

This reminds me of the time that someone decided to do some digging and throw my petty drug charges in my face here on the BOI. While I understand the rationale and don't begrudge the attempt, the efficacy is just seriously lacking. At best, you've just provided information that may mean something to those who have strong moral objections to the activities that yielded the various charges; as far as the obvious attempt to discredit goes, you've fallen well short. This thread has turned into yet another example of how you make it a point to choose the most boneheaded course available to you when all doesn't go according to plan. You really are the cause of the problems you've had on this forum.

Says one of the "regulars" Dan Graybeal with 2,282 post to his name. It looks like most if not all of his post are from BOI's. Its actually YOU are the cause of the problem. Or one of them with 2,282 bonehead comments that I'm sure really helped people out.

There are a handful of BOI regulars and I just wonder what they contribute to the hobby besides posting on the BOI? I'm truly curious.
