• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

There is an add in the venomous section that has a snake that is illegal to sell out of that state and I do not know how to post a link to it but it is under ghost cobra the person has admitted to trying to sell it illegally through PM to other members here.
 
There are indeed strict prohibitions in NJ regarding the keeping of hots by hobbyists. I would avoid this person like the plague.

Rich, could you please look into this? This is the last thing our hobby needs right now.
 
The venomous ad smells of scam! He should be banned. The snake doesn't even look alive and it appears he's being shady by not wanting to give an asking price and it's not even on a US newspaper. Also there is this:

he messaged me and said his friend was asking $1500 but would take $1200. He told me he wanted to talk in pm cause he didn't have the permits to have venomous in NJ. its a good looking cobra if he really has it but i would rather not risk buying it from him if hes doing it illegally.

So he's selling it for a friend???? Smells of scam I say.
 
I am glad I am not alone in my thoughts here.The way the bans and laws are going this needs to be stoped it is the part they call policeing our selves.

Unfortunately, this isn't really the kind of thing that's up to us. I'm sure if Rich or the mods feel that he needs banning, they will be quick to do so. I'm sure Rich is looking into it.

Way to be pro-active on this. Always better to have the head's up out there before someone gets scammed.:thumbsup:

I agree. Nice that bot of the ads from this person were brought to many peoples attentions. Hopefully the BOI survives so that people may search in the future and know that this person is potentially a scammer.
