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.

Rich I thought criticism was allowed in this forum. I am just trying to make a logical business point. No need to threaten me with being banned!

You are much more transparent than you obviously believe.

You left out a critical word... constructive criticism. Saying, "I don't like the BOI and therefore it should be shut down" is hardly constructive. Whining about your personal sales records is also not the least bit constructive. No one is twisting your arm to advertise here and whining won't increase your sales potential.

Did you read post #21 my sales are fine. The whole point of this thread was simply to point out that I will not send my money to a site that does not produce sales. Just a good business practice.

Well first of all, you are not required to be a contributor or pay anything at all to post classifieds here, so your entire argument to that effect is irrelevant.
That being the case it's obvious that it's not just "good business practice" as you say, or else you would have just posted for free since that's an even better business practice.
For that matter if the $25 you paid for those coins is so critical to your "business" that you feel you must recoup it then you might need to start thinking about another business to get into. Oh wait, you've sold 38 animals this year apparently, yeah.... business may be stretching it.

Why pay for what I can have for free,like so many other members. If you remember the coins were to offset the cost of keeping the BOI alive. I say let it go and as such will not renew my coins to support it!

This is why your motives behind this thread are transparent. It has nothing to do with a "logical business point" as you put it, since the coins are not required to conduct business here in the first place. It has nothing to do with advertising dollars when ads are free to post.
You obviously don't like the BOI, nor some of the members here, and you would like to see it gone. That is the reason for this thread.
What it boils down to is if you don't like it here, leave. You won't be missed, neither will your $25. No one will even notice you're gone.
But rather than take that route, you decide to post this thread with the thinly veiled bashing of the site while claiming lack of sales is the motive.
Did you actually think anyone would swallow your complaint of paying for something that's free? People with the coins on this site have them because they appreciate the site and believe in what it's here for. You apparently do not share that opinion.

You got 3 completely positive trader ratings in the 12 months you've had an account, you must've sold SOMETHING through here. And if craigslist is where you're going to sell your animals and flip other people's I feel bad for your buyers. Not saying everyone who sells through craigslist is bad, just that it attracts the people who don't really know much about the animal they're buying/selling. And since you're so scared of having your "brains kicked in if even the slightest mistake were to happen" I'm willing to bet your husbandry is exactly worthy of cl.

Actually, I don't believe that at all. You don't need to pay anything to post classified ads on this site. It is COMPLETELY free. The membership options are contributions to help this site financially, from people who wish for it to still be here tomorrow.
As for traffic, during most parts of any given day, at any given instant, there will be between 400 and 800 people in the classifieds section alone on this site, viewing ads there. And that number is increasing steadily as we are getting approximately 50 new registrations every single day. Last month this site got 3,000,000 page views, which is not at all shabby by any measure.
This site is bringing people to your ads. It is up to you to SELL to those people. I'm sorry that you are not making the sales you wish here, but the only thing that comes to my mind is that perhaps the people here are more knowledgeable and discriminatory, perhaps because of the ready availability of the BOI and are just leery of doing business with YOU. Sorry about that, but it is not mine, nor this site's responsibility to sell your products for you. That is completely up to you. The potential sales are definitely here, if you can take advantage of them.
So with all that in mind, the issue I have with this thread of yours is that it really has nothing at all to do with the paid memberships, as placing ads on this site is not contingent upon any member having to PAY in order to place ads. So therefore, your motive is suspect, and your intentions appear to be to simply stir the pot to create dissent and cause damage on your own way out the door. Otherwise, your statements really serve no other purpose at all. Your paid membership was NOT so you could post classified ads here, so your paying it or not has absolutely no bearing on your ability to do that. If you don't wish to support this site, then that is fine. But don't make up false reasons for it, please.
