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.

Maybe it would be better to keep the BOI supported my memberships to the site as a whole. That way should Rich decide at any time, for any reason, to let the BOI die, no one will be able to say "what about my donation?" As long as the site remains, they can continue to be members.
Of course there would still be some that said they only became contributing members to keep the BOI alive, but there would be no ground for a refund.

If that scenario played out, I wouldn't have a problem with that money transferring over to support Fauna, but hey, that's just me!
Great Idea Stephanie! I would do that too!

Crap. I wander off for a bit and this is what I come back to.
I'm a laid off single parent and I managed to pony up. It's just $25 dollars, look at the money we spend on/for our herps and the failure to contribute is just more pathetic.
To those who think the BOI is ineffective -
The BOI saved me from bad choices more than once, potentially saving my entire collection. At the very least it saved me a ton of vet bills, because I am the type of idiot that will spend an arm and leg fixing a sick animal rather than send it back. I'm also paranoid enough to have tests run on the rest of my collection despite quarantine just to be safe.
It's also helped me when I've had problems because I could see how the seller handled issues in the past so I was much calmer when I dealt with them.
If it goes I will be limited to only dealing with people I already know or closing my collection. I may as well close it since there's only a few people left I already trust enough that I haven't purchased from yet.
It's not ineffective to me, it's invaluable. If it goes away I will be sad and angry every single time I want to check somebody and can't.
I understand why it might have to go but I don't like it.
Even if it goes today I wouldn't regret contributing.
