Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

The Welcome Room & New Member Intros How about a place for new members to come on in, make an introduction, and meet the regulars? Talk about yourself or anything else that comes to mind, just to break the ice. Or just pull up a chair and make yourself at home for a spell. |

They're "Good People"
Each of the forums here has its own aura; in contrast to the barroom brawl atmosphere of Hell, for instance, the Welcome Club is meant to be an easy, friendly place where once can relax and feel comfortable.
I am starting this thread to honor those people who are particularly helpful here on Fauna; not exactly in a business sense, since there is a place for that on the BOI, but more to honor them in the manner they go out of their way to help others on the forums with information or other assistance.
My first "Good People" award goes to Mike Greathouse; he has gone out of his way to post helpful replies to my questions having to do with boas. I have recently acquired several new boas and have been seeking ways to streamline and improve my snake husbandry practices, and several people including Mike have gone out of their way to help me. Thank you, Mike, and thank you to those who have helped me with boa answers.
OK, who do YOU know that goes out of their way to be helpful and kind on Fauna? Please list their name and tell why YOU think they deserve a "good people" mention here.

Well I for one would like to honor Lucille for being a great person.
When I first started participating on Fauna she answered all the questions I had without any delay. Also when using the Fauna fund she made it simple for me to post and was very helpful during the entire transaction.
Thanks Lucille!!!

2 more people too, then I am done.
Robin,
Thanks for talking on the phone with me last week. You were very helpful with my choosing my first snake and I appreciate all your advice. It's great to be able to talk to someone who "knows" what they are talking about.
Robin I look forward to your help in the future.
Also Wes, He was helpful in my learning the ins and outs here on fauna. Without his help and advice I would have gave up and left fauna completely.
Thanks Wes

Lucille is a great lady, she helped me threw some rough decisions about where to send my 5 year old to school, I had too many opinions from my family and some were off the wall, I sent Lucille the info on the school I was looking at and wanted her opinion as a mom and as an outsiders view and she really made me feel good about being able to make the deicision.
There are alot of others, Ill post more later!

What was edited? I see "bum kissing" or " not kissing your bum" in the first post. Did she delete something or rearrange the words?

ok originally the post was something very similar to what IS posted however Lucile removed a phrase or sentence consisting of the wods "kissing bum", as in "not to kiss your bum, webslave but thank you for this site" something similar to that... so she basically deleted certain parts of the thread to suit herself and her forum.. to what she liked, not what was actually posted

Lucille, Why would you do that?
I don't now how all of this started with you too but can't it be dropped. Both of you contribute to this site and bring different qualities that many enjoy.
Never mind I don't want to know why.
I just don’t think editing a post that was not in violation of any rule is wrong.

I will tell it as I see it Dennis. Over the past couple weeks Lucille and Robin have been tit tattin back in forth in all kinds of threads. Point blank Robin thinks Lucille is a butt kisser. And has made many comments stating it. Lucille fires back with giving bad rep points or by using the "be happy, can't we all get along, I'm above this sort of stuff" etc........... Posted in a better tone but givin the current situation just as abrasive.
Robin posted today about all the people she thinks are great and at the end commented that she was not kissing bum. Which to someone thinking objectively appeared to be directed at Webslave and not Lucille. Lucille I assume took it as yet another stab at her and went what I think is a bit above and beyond by editing someone else's post.
Lucille it was not directed at you and were you thinking clearly and without bias you would have seen that. I don't want this to cause a rift between us but I think you were wrong about the posts direction and owe Robin an apology.
JMHO
