• 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....

    748?!?!

    I periodically go through and prune my Subscribed Threads list. Apparently, I have been lax - I added a subscription so I could easily check back on a thread from my home computer, and was surprised to see that I am (well, was) subscribed to 748 threads. Yikes. Go ahead, fess up - to how many...

    Heartfelt thanks

    Yesterday, I took down my moderator colors & changed my user title to make a post that at least one person would claim was inappropriate for a moderator. Truth be told, I was half expecting that it might turn into a handful of posts - and I wanted to make it obvious that those posts were from...

    Info animalia aka "Traveler Happy"

    We've been having a bit of a run of scammer accounts lately. I don't always post BOI threads about them...but this time, I can't resist. This newly registered account posted 2 auctions - one for a spotted python and dotted albino ball python; and the other for a few Cuora species. I knew when...

    Info Tillery and Petfarmer

    I'm only making this thread because I was posting in the ads(consider this a big hint to those of you that enjoy doing hit & run posts in the classifieds - follow through...THIS is the place to be posting, not there). Tillery registered yesterday (more on that later). Today, "she" posted an ad...

    Info bbhouston7 - "Brounli James Houston"

    Yet another Aldabra tortoise ad using images pirated from the internet. The first image used can be found in scam ads all over the internet, as well as informational and picturepages; but it appears to belong to toucanjungle.com http://www.toucanjungle.com/Tortoises.html The second image...well...

    Info Scott Champlin, David Champlin, Scott David, Levi Robert

    A flurry of disruptive posting and an accusatory BOI thread brought this person onto our radar. He was called on his multiple accounts in that thread; but further information made it obvious that a thread in his name(s) is required. These accounts are by all appearances, the same person...

    Info jamesreptile "James Johnson"

    jamesreptile appeared yesterday. His profile indicates the name James Johnson. He is using the email [email protected]. He posted 2 ads, showing a total of 4 images...all of which were sourced from other sites. When confronted about that, his response was simply, This morning, I reached...

    Tom Crutchfield mugged in Ukraine!!

    It's true - this is the email he sent me: Just so wrong :(

    Why is this person still allowed to post here?

    This is something that comes up semi-regularly...most recently in a BOI thread. (Let's leave the names out of this because it's a generic issue - it really doesn't have anything to do with specific individuals. There are a lot of people I don't particularly like seeing here - it doesn't...

    Bad Guy Chrisreptile and jonsandsons

    Same person Both accounts were created this morning - using locations in NJ and CA - under the names Chris Hansen and Jons Lynton, respectively. There are several similarities linking these accounts, which I am not posting (why help him make it harder for us). Both placed ads featured highly...

    New infraction added

    This is a long existing policy that, no matter how many times we post in threads, simply continues to be ignored. (I realize that, in most cases, people are simply ignorant of the policy...but there are some that continue to use photo hosting services on the BOI after being told to how to...

    Info paulkings - "paul ngu"

    This account posted ads today for baby spider monkeys and African grey parrots. The images used in both were easily found in ads showing locations around the world. (I didn't take the time to locate the origin of either, but the links below show the image use) spider monkey photo African grey...

    Would you pay more for "quality"

    The title asks the question. A lot of people "say" they want the best looking animals they can get for their breeding projects; but, when push comes to shove, and it's time to lay down the cash (or break out the card), their tune changes. BTW - the poll is anonymous. People can see the...
