    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....

Reptster.com experience with show sponsorship not good

Jim you WERE removed...

Anybody that would like to talk negatively about the site or how it is ran poorly will be happily removed if it is their request. We are fully aware as to how to remove people and do not need the troll like agenda on the site to begin with, so please help us relieve the site of such agenda's... Having such Agenda's ANYWHERE doesn't make ANYONE look any better... As for how we conduct business we are at the Tampa show today and tomorrow and would be more than happy to talk to anybody about the site, Business or upcoming features we'll be adding! I believe we might even have some Reptster.com shirts and some left over Reptster.com Temporary tattoo's!! They seem to be a hit with everybody!


Thanks,

Nope .... looks like my name still appears on you website...I guess if you need my name there to make you better ... so be it ... I removed all the pics though, readers should enjoy that :rofl:

Since when has the BOI forum become a "show" photo gallery.

For people that really don't like Fauna and the BOI they seem to try to utilize it fro there benefit :rolleyes:

I have been an admin of my own forums and admin/moderator on many other forums. Some reptile related, some not. Not a single one of those forums would delete a member for any reason. This is common place and a really lame reason to try and knock David. There are plenty of legit reasons to knock David without inventing this kind of petty crap.

I'm not "inventing" anything .... I don't want my name on his site.
Reasonable enough request to have it removed, legit enough for me.

They are just a few posts in various threads, showing of some photos of animals. I basically want my name removed from the RIPster site as I prefer not to be associated with them in any way.

Jim It is now as if you were never there! ;):D


Let us know if there is anything else that we can do for you and we would be glad to help. :thumbsup:

Jim as far as the Forum part of the site goes you are completely deleted, removed...gone... If it is still showing up over in the profile section where you had your pictures uploaded then that is something that David would have to take care of for you and I can assure you he will be happy to remove it from the website once he gets back in and settled from the Tampa show.
 
Negative Rep I just recently recieved said:
The BOI is not a place to advertise show appearances

To the person who gave me this...

I am not advertising at all... I'm just simply sharing a couple of pictures of the Daytona Reptile "show Experience". We have a great time at each show we do and enjoy meeting everyone that stops by.

If you see us at a show, Feel free to stop by and say hi! :)

If I am not mistaken .... this is not the place post the photos of RIPsters "show experience" .... Looks to me like your trying to advertise :rolleyes:
 
In case you didn't read the TOS that you agreed to when you registered -- when you post something on Reptster -- you give them license to whatever you post - that means they own it and can do whatever they want with it - including leaving it up there after you leave.

Throwing a tantrum about not having EVERYTHING you ever did on their site erased - is just childish. I'm sure you thought you were being some kind of hardcore rebel demanding your rights -- but not only were you wrong but you come across as a juvenile nit.

I can't think of one site that would remove old posts and you should thank the people at Reptster for going the extra step to make a former member happy. :rofl:

I guess your entitled to your opinion.
But I don't think having my name removed from the RIPster site childish or unreasonable at all. They can leave the threads there ...I have already removed the photos ...I just want my name off the site.

And I guess you feel the same about all the other people here that wanted to have no associtaion with them.

They haven't ME happy at all, it really is very simple ....remove my name from the RIPster site and its done and over.

If you don't mind having your name associated with RIPster...that too is your option.

Such a REBEL ...... :dgrin:

The bottom line is that by throwing the little tantrum and demanding your stuff be removed from their site -- YOU broke your agreement -- whether you feel justified or not -- it makes you no better than what you've condemned David for doing. :yesnod: Tho the hypocrisy is amusing.

No better than David....wow your perception is way off :ack2:

So ...if you would ...explain how David ripping people off is even remotely close to my request.

I SIMPLY (and it really is very simple, unless they just lack the knowledge) want my name removed from RIPster. I prefer NOT to be associated with THIEVES.

How is David ripping people off? Did I miss something?

Doesn't matter how you justify breaking your contract -- you still did. David justified breaking his contract as well. You can't sugar coat it -- there was an agreement in place - and you broke it -- if the site is so bad then it shouldn't bother or hurt you to admit it. If your name is so precious then you should be more careful about where and how you use it - no one forces you to join the forums and sign away certain right -- you did it of your own free will - you should accept the consequences like a grown up.

I have no problem admitting the REPster site is bad.
I signed up for that site before he decided to rip people off.
And the terms I agreed to..mention nothing about his plans to rip people off...if they did ...I certainly would not have signed up.

But...either way I will not, knowingly be associated w/ thieves.
So if he needs my name up there, so be it. But I will make certain I spread the word about RIPster at EVERY show I attend.
