    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....

any one ever delt with 88reps (canyonreptiles)

this is just minutes old...his response to one...sort of a "mea culpa"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

banzai I appreciate you being so calm with this and not acting as every one else is acting and yet people still cant understand why i had an attitude on the other forum? But i really had no idea that they were illegal they are all gone now and i have read the rules at the AZGF site and im am up to date on my laws now and that wont be happening again. I can only apologize so many times, it no longer has anything to do with me its now up to everyone else either to let by gones be by gones or stay stuck on this and drag it out like this is high school. I have nothing further to say unless people can talk to me as they so think i should talk to them. again thank you banzai. take care


Suffice to say, I think most of the aha have read between the lines...at least I hope so !!! Yeah , 1945 would have been good...
 
Sore losers

Greg can you believe someone gave me a bad rep point for my Kerrys a Ceph post. Musta been a sore loser.

Hopefully, because it is nothing more than smoke screen and diversion...damage control. NO ONE changes that kind of thought process overnight, EVER.
 
'twasn't me....haven't figured out how to do that yet! :eatsmiley
Nah, I enjoyed that banter anyway...that last bit of yours was great!
Unfortunately, several of the aha members seem to be siding somewhat with Corallus...unbelievable, but stranger things have happened...hope he shows up at a meeting sometime...I'll have to wear my cross of David !
It appears he shipped out (so he says, at least) all of his illegal animals as soon as he learned they were 'illegal'...if you believe that, I have some land in south florida you might be interested in !!!
sorry he is in our state...hope he leaves soon !

Aha

I havn't been to AHA in a while. I should get over there and get up to date. I was headed to AZ to do some work, (washing cars and stuff) and thats why I started reading AHA, but the trip was canceled.
 
Well, I am a little disturbed by the welcoming committee that formed around this "corallus" aka "adam" character...no, I am not Jewish, but the slant of his diatribe was crazy...and repulsive...but some of the members are now writing me negative mail, so go figure...
I doubt he has cleaned his nose all of too well, and azg/f is quite thorough...looks like I am coming out of this as the black sheep at the moment, though!!!
ah well...off to sleep and dream a bit !

Wild West

Hey man, your in the wild wild west out there...lot of crazy cowboys out there. :2gunsfiri
Goodnight Greg :sleeping:
 
Thanks dude! will do so shortly...but check out this reply from one of the aha members to adam's cry for pity:

"

I applaud your effort to take responsibility and do what it takes to move on. You'll be alright."


Can't believe this...really, really stunned.
 
sigh...he has won over even more people...here is his latest:

"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i to am sorry we met like this but i guess we cant do anything about it now right! i think the only thing that will fix this is time. I still have some business and hopfully when they give feedback on me will help(not fix) these things and i can only hope that one day people will learn to look past this and see me the way i am with my business."
 
It doesn't matter if he has managed to evoke compassion and sympathy. If he's turned over a new leaf, great. If he hasn't, his true colors will show again soon enough.

I'm sure that even the people who are showing support will be watching his actions carefully. That's a positive all the way around. Maybe he'll become more active in the AZHS and, even if he maintains his completely unacceptable racist views, will learn to at least respect the laws involving reptiles in his area.

Also, a couple of people have expressed their hope that he'll apologize to Dennis and Webslave. I'm not sure he can even access this site with his IP address blocked, so I wouldn't hold your breath.
 
The IP block only prevents someone from re-registering using that address. It does not block them from accessing this site as a guest and reading what is here. For the time being, I have reopened the BOI to guests and it is not restricted to members only. I do that every once in a while for various reasons...

But as far as Adam is concerned, he has been fined $40 (second offense, and then registering falsely to bypass the suspension). All he has to do is to pay the fine and he can come back here. That is completely up to him. But the NEXT fine will be $80 if he hasn't changed his ways and learned a lesson.
 
WebSlave said:
Aw come on fellas! Now you went and got someone else pissed off at my site...

Sorry Webslave, I'm pretty sure I'm one of the one's he complained to you about. I have very little tolerance for liars. Maybe in time he'll re-think his choice and stop blaming myself, and other's for his actions, fess up and come back. By looking at his posts he is relatively new to this (reptiles) and could benefit from the advice he could get here.

Here we have the epitome of irony. A self-proclaimed racist skinhead begging for acceptance and tolerance.
 
The sick part is, everyone out here is eating it up...now I am getting hate mail because I refuse to believe him. I guess we have more skinheads out here than I had thought...very sad situation.
greg
 
Greg I dont get it either, I always thought that AHA group was pretty sharp. I cant figure why they are getting behind this guy like they are either.
 
To be honest, I think this may be a bit of a hornet's nest in our state...I even received an email calling me a "jew lover" (technically, this is in fact correct, my wife is part jewish, and we get along alright...hmmm).
It seems there are more racists out here than I had previously thought...rather unfortunate.
Many of the aha members have expressed their opinion to me as being :"leave him alone". Personally, I think that when you let people act like that, and be accepted, you end up with a bad situation. (dachau, anyone?)
This "human" Adam should be sent packing...but it appears that out here, in the wild west, he has found a niche.
