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.

Jeff,
Not taking sides at all, but you did lose out on the sale of 3 rack systems by not returning a couple emails that I sent you over the last few months. The sad thing is, I probably won't buy a rack from you for a very, very long time, if ever, simply because they don't match the melamine ones that I did buy.
The reason I'm telling you this isn't to take sides at all, but I want you to know that you would likely increase sales dramatically, just by having someone there to talk to potential customers. Right now, what you're doing is like having a car lot, full of nice, reasonably priced cars, but having no one there to sell them.
Not saying you're product isn't awesome, because I think it is, but take Daniel's advice, take the bull by the horns and let your company grow.

I personally find this whole thread a big waste of space! Jeff Ronne is arguably one of the best and most successful people in the WHOLE reptile industry! Weather you like him or not, that's a fact! He has produced some of the most outstanding Boas around. He consistently produces boas and has come up with breeding strategies that are unparalleled! That's a fact! Anyone that has tried to breed Boas knows how difficult and inconsistent they can be to breed. He also started his own feeder rodent business. I have heard nothing but good things about Jeff's rodents!
I find it amazing how all of us can come here and put Jeff's business practices under a microscope, tell him he should do THIS.......No, wait Jeff......you should do it this way!! NO.....NO, If this were my business I would definitely change this!
I never realized that there were so many SUCCESSFUL entrepreneur's on this site. Now I know were to come when I need business advice.......I'll just ask all of you experts!
All of this GARBAGE because Jeff supposedly missed a phone call! No! Not in the least bit! Chris and Colleen or what ever your name is. You two obviously have something against Jeff or you would not be making such a big deal out of nothing! You have way to much time on your hands if you can write the equivalent of a copy of War and Peace with every
reply post! Get a LIFE. I'm done.

No joke. I'd personally advise Anthony to place his full name in his signature line, since that is the easiest way to ensure it's on every post/reply. Rich is a rather busy man at this time of year and generally doesn't have the time or patience to scan old replies to see if someone had previously posted his/her full name.

You guys have got to be kidding. I have a post right before that with my full name. This is ridiculous. I was invited here because I heard it was a cool board, but it's the same as anything else. You give some guy administrative rights, and he abuses it when he doesn't completely agree with what someone's saying. This is to a discussion board, what Hitler was to the human race.
Forget it. I don't need to post here if that's how it is.

Webslave, do you need my mother's maiden name here too? How 'bout my SSN, DOB, Eye color, color of last stool? Anything else or will my full name and email address be OK?

Ken, I hear you. I am new and didn't know that you had to attach it to every single post.
I don't really care for every Tom, Dick, and Harry on the internet to know my full name. Besides, I could just say my name is Tyrone Washington and Rich would never know the difference. The rule has a good idea behind it, but it's not practical.
I understand the rules, but personally, I think this one sucks and because of that, I will not be posting here on a regular basis.

then you should know the reasoning of why it is REQUIRED.
Any Joe schmo with a vendetta can post bad stuff about you with a fake name. spam_Once the fake name has been discovered.....their post no longer has merit. spam_And probably will be erased.
Basically you are saying that you understand the rules....
but you don't want to post here because you don't want to post your name....because you don't believe in whatever it is you say.
In the past the board got really ugly because people with vendettas came and posted with fake names.
If you are SCARED to let every Tom Dick and Harry know who you are.....then maybe Tom Dick and Harry should be scared of you. spam_Because that should tell them that you have something to hide.
Personally even though my posts are stupid and make me look like an A$$hole......I still will put my full name because I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. spam_People may not like my character....BUT they also know I won't screw with them. spam_This is me....This is the way that I am...I have nothing to hide...Love it...Like it....Hate it...I do not care.

Yeah Webslave!!!! Who gave you the right to erase posts?
Just because you own this whole board you think you can do whatever you want to do to it?
SURPRISE -- YUP HE CAN !!! IT IS HIS BOARD !!!
He is also the fairest guy I know......How do I know this?
My stuff gets erased too. EVERYONE'S stuff has a chance of getting erased. IF it does not conform to the rules
