    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....

Paul John Lucas Jr, why waste everyone's time with a bogus thread like this?

You have accomplished nothing but make yourself look bad.:shootfoot
 
Folks, I've got to say that since I've been introduced to the "reptile breeder/keeper community" and observed how many in the community behave and deal with one another, it disappoints me.

Join the club. Instead of band together and become stronger, people want to bicker, argue, and see who can produce stuff faster, like its a competition. Sad story.

I kind of get the impression that I wouldn't be eager to live next door to many of them...ya know what I mean?
 
Personally, I find it difficult to understand why people are still posting to this thread....if the consensus is that it is petty, and probably should have been addressed privately, why does it keep getting pulled back to the top.
(Just something to think about)
 
Message to Web Slave

I have been reading a lot of these bogus threads and this goes out the the "Web Slave". I honestly believe that this site has morphed. It used to be a place I could go and ask questions and get advice on how to handle certain situations and get a better idea of what to do. All it is now is a perverted vent-cite for a select few with too much time and too little knowledge. As I cruise along every "bitchy" thread I see the same 8-12 people on EVERY site with only negative comments. They are vultures and it is time to do something. Good people and their businesses/hobbies are being hurt by idiots. Web Slave and mods you must surely see this or has the power corrupted you too?

And to hhmoore, you know why they are still posting, it is all they have in their lives. it is life for those few "vultures".

I am sorry for offending anyone but something needs to be said before anything will be done.

PLEASE, PLEASE rather than post ugliness here, call me on my cell phone to bitch one-on-one 804.426.3536

I would like to say that I think Matt Miller is a stand up guy. Also if you have dealt with him in the business you will know that he will try and satisfy any concern or problem of any customer. Also, Paul, do you know his work schedule, or if he has family that needs taken care of, or anything, I know that I might not get on my computer for a day or two, so a 24 hr time limit is not really acceptable, especially when his phone number is on here and his website which is also on here, you could have called and spoken to him in person. But to put this up which could "possibly" mess with a man's livelyhood is not only wrong but real close to "Slander" which is against the Law. But it was a simple case of a wrong picture getting sent, thats it. And you didnt even take the picture, so you dont own the rights to it either. But I spoke with Matt last night and I think he said you called and apologized. Thats nice, but I think since you started this thread, how about a public apology to Matt, which I think he deserves and you should feel like you should give.

Dont you have your own thread to troll? :rolleyes:
 
Vinny - In case you hadn't noticed, people had gotten the hint...no posts for 3 full days until you decided to chime in. Then again, you've never been good about taking hints; even when things have been spelled out for you.
The BOI is not the place for your opinions on what is wrong with the BOI (or this site, in general); and your constant bashing of this site in inappropriate places is wearing pretty thin. The message is the same as usual - criticism and issues with site policy can be taken up in the Fauna Feedback Forum. We aren't shying away from the discussion - but you can't just start it in the middle of another thread, in a forum that is designed for a different purpose.
 
I gotta agree with Vinny on this one. FAUNA SUCKS. Full of thieves and con artists. The moderators don't care about who gets ripped off. They just care about people bad mouthing FUANA. Well I don't give a rats ass. FAUNA SUCKS because the moderators won't help when people are clearly ripped off. I was ripped off for $800 and the guy is still posting his bs on here. You don't have this problem with kingsnake. wonder why? I'll never sell on this site again, so ban me or whatever. I really don't care.
 
One, this section is not for bickering about fauna, it's for reviews of sellers. Secondley, fauna and it's mod's shouldn't be held liable for a transaction that occured. And yes you will probabley recieve infractions for what statements you made, but i dought you will care. just an FYI

hey vinny. i find it funny what you said. ive seen you misrepresent animals. in fact my animals. a few months back you had some dark purples list as 2.2 and eating well and you didnt change that until i called matt and said something. you got 4.0 purples that were only a few weeks old and had not ate yet from matt and i know this because they came from me. when i saw you add on kingsnake i was going to call and ask about the snakes and then call you out on it but i decided to call matt and let him deal with it. normally i dont get involved with other people business practices but when its my animals i do. if someone would have bought those as females and got males it would have came back on you then to matt then to me.

but at the same time i have to agree with the statement above about all the thieves and lairs on here and think something should be done about it. like that ballistic balls guy that i called out for trying to sell one of my purples as a blonde. i even showed pics of it here at my house.

so my question for the mods is. why wasnt that guy giving an infraction or kicked off.

further more we all know angel and jesus are the same person. its been proven time and time again and hes still allowed on there. ill admit he is entertaining but still hes broken your rules and nothing is done about it.

ive been ban from the retics nation for swearing and and stating my opinoin about prehistoric pets and ive been in trouble on here for swearing. in sorry but i feel i have the right to express my opinion in a vulgar manner but i dont on these kinda forums.

yet its ok for people to lie, misrepresent animals, and ripe people off but god forbid rodney say the fuck because some kid in the process of getting ripped off by one of the scumbags that sell their junk on here might inadvertently come across a thread that i swore in and be corrupted for life. and we wouldnt want that would we.

a good example of people that should have been kicked off reptile classifieds is big daddy wholesale. he was allowed to ripe people off for how many years. why?

im not attacking anyone on here or taking sides i just felt compelled by the irony of someone posting complaining about this threat when they are guilty of what the threads about.


so im anxiously awaiting my infraction. thanks for all the censorship and not respecting my first amendment right but allowing me to lie cheat and steal.

and mods please dont send me another email about inappropriate behavior. its ridiculous. if any of us wanted to be appropriate we would go to church not be selling snakes, the worlds most hated and demonized animal on the planet. this isnt a suite and tie profession.
