New and free interactive magazine online - AMPHITILIA

[Scotty L]

Hello everyone ,

I am new to Fauna Classifieds and have an exciting, bi-monthly, free, interactive magazine to share with you.

It is called AMPHITILIA and is all about reptile and amphibians. There is a mix of husbandry and research topics to read, watch, scroll and click your way through.

The time is now to advance our language within our herpetile community and my 6 years of animal and plant care experience has sparked this idea.

Hope you can all find something useful from them as they are aimed at beginners to advanced herpetile carers in all fields.

Thank you in advance ,

Scott Lockhart

So you come here just to promote your own site for free? How gracious of you! Just does my heart good to see how other people just want to step on my head to get themselves ahead.

So, someone comes here and sees Scott's notice of his fine magazine. That someone clicks and reads Scott's fine magazine, and maybe gets wind of a species they didn't know about or didn't know how to care for. Then, they come back to Fauna and either peruse the ads or post their own wanted ad.

That's more beneficial to you, Rich, even than me posting an ad for a snake -- since that could be and often is once and done deal. But with the online magazine, that stands to increase the market, not decrease it. An online magazine isn't competition to a classified site any more than Road and Track is a competitor to the Craigslist car ad section.

The 'everyone is cheating me/us/US' schtick is cute and all, but at some point basic reasoning has to intervene and make obvious even to the chronic whiner that maybe it is time to graduate from kindergarden and come up with some new coping mechanism. Just kicking every puppy that shows up in your yard might feel good for a minute but isn't anything more than that.

It sure as hell is bad for the hobby, though, and that's about the only reason I care.

So with that logic, why don't I just allow EVERYONE to post such ads here for free instead of trying to earn some income from such advertising to keep this site afloat? Is that your logic? You believe that this site is some sort of air plant that simply lives off of the free oxygen in the air? Apparently it isn't enough for most people that I just give away free classified ads to all that ask, but I should also do that for every Tom, Dick, and Harry that wants to come here and promote their own website, magazine, movie, chat room, YouTube channel, or whatever?

Someone comes here and on the same day they register only have one goal in mind. Don't care to participate. Don't care to add any value for being here other that what suits their own best interests. Sure, sounds pretty nifty to me.

Well, one good thing about this. Not many people are going to really miss this site or consider me some sort of bastard son-of-a-bitch when it goes away, feeling like I took something away from them that used to be free.

Yeah, everyone wants everything for nothing. Par for the course, apparently.

Thank you for this perspective.

I’m here to provide information and entertainment for anyone interested in herpetiles. It is for free also. I’m not earning anything from this venture. In fact I’m losing money, but I want to spread the word of how we perceive these beings and change our community’s language for the better.

Do members need to pay to put their snake selling ad on this forum?

I’m contributing something that will hopefully stand the test of time and make a positive change in this sphere.
