About the BOI and it's future here...

I for one will be glad when the boi are gone since they arent watched enough I can now understand why people will sue you for allowing the boi bashing
Im sure if the boi's are kept the lawsuit's will come alot faster since it doesnt cost much to fill a lawsuit, But it does cost alot for a Lawyer you will be losing your behind.
Take some time and let the Boi's go for awhile and maybe the bashers will get the message

Can you say disgruntled? Must go see what has caused this. BTW, I have yet to see an innocent person "bashed" but just about every guilty one calls it being "bashed".

Lydia,
The choice of whether to contribute is yours...I just want to correct this statement so you don't give others the wrong idea. The contributor level membership is $25. Yes, there are higher level memberships that offer other features/perks, but the $25 level is certainly affordable to most people that utilize (and benefit from) the BOI.

So somebody makes a comment about you, related to your involvement in a thread, and suddenly you want the BOI gone? I haven't gone back to that thread to check the most recent developments; but the nature of the BOI leads to people digging for things, and sometimes pushing some buttons. Most often, posts that violate the rules are addressed via the warning + infraction system, not publicly...and, speaking for myself, I sometimes delay my action to try to get a picture of where things are going. If it ends up just being a bunch of bickering, I'll get back to it.
A lot of people don't like the way things work on the BOI...and they take the simplest course of action - they don't get involved in the threads. They just utilize the forum to check people before entering into a transaction.

Perhaps....

Or I could just take it to court, win it, then file a countersuit based on the lack of merit of that original lawsuit, and put the money awarded me for the damages inflicted by that lawsuit to very good use. I am extremely confident that I would win such a lawsuit, so perhaps this may be the best route for me to consider taking in such a case. Might cost me some money up front, but yeah, I'll get it back, with interest, in the end.

Then by all means keep the Boi's around if you can make money that way. Then you wont have to worry about members donations and the Boi's can pay for themselves
I guess we only have to wait just over a month to see where the Boi's are

I just took a look at the paid membership statistics. According to those stats there are nearly three times the number of members who have decided to NOT renew then the number of current paid memberships.

I dunno, how should I interpret that sort of information?

Well, I just read the thread you are involved in to see why you have your panties all bunched up in a wad. -> http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...155390&page=16

Looks to me that YOU are the problem in that thread, fella. And you want to blame the BOI for how YOU are acting? You started attacking the OP in that thread and then when someone called you down about it, then you turned your ire towards other folks.

I really need to put a notice on the BOI warning people that if they act like a jackass, they will very likely be treated like one in there.

I hope the BOI is around for many more years to come.

i would hate to see the BOI go...i think even with the flaws it may have in some situations...it is a very useful tool and alot more people would get screwed over without it
