    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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.....

    =====================


    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....

Bill Leverton SCAMMER beware

But, in hindsight, given this part of the note which you pointed out ... which you honored, do you think that a scam artist would also use your trust and honor to further their cause, in this case hoping to keep you from further negative posts, and maybe even hoping you would make some neutral or semi-favorable posts, while you awaited the never-forthcoming public explanation?
They could certainly try and others have tried in the past. They were profoundly disappointed. I dont believe I made a personal post after receiving that email reflecting an opinion either way about Bill. Irregardless of the email, I probably would not have posted to this thread again in a personal capacity. I had said what I needed to say and saying the same thing over and over again would have served no purpose.

My waiting was all about giving Bill enough rope. It was his choice to use it or not.
 
Bill, you have sunken to a record low. If a vote is instituted here on a ban for Bill, I will most definitely vote for him to be banned. My question to the mods is: Are Bill's actions serious enough to result in banning him? It is my opinion that they are.
 
Also Bill,

If and when you ever do decide to respond to the questions you have been asked here, or if you ever decide to post the proof that would back your silly claim, try to remember that you should put your tainted name to it when you do (unless of course you have changed your name to "in the wind").

For what reason would he be banned? We have never banned anyone here just because they stole or were caught lying. For example, Sal is still here and he has done much more than Bill has so far. Violation of site rules is usually what will get someone banned. Otherwise, we would be banning every single bad guy that came here to post in his defense. Would kinda make things one-sided don't you think? Again, think rope....;)

FYI, banning someone will never be put to a vote. That is left to the discretion of the 4 of us that have that ability.
 
Thanks for the quick response Dennis! I appreciate it. Well, I guess we will just have to let him have his rope. I am confident he will hang himself with it.
Thanks again :scatter:
 
In hindsight, considering all the evidence, my gut now tells me that Big Bill and Little Bill were one and the same individual in all references here. Not saying Little Bill doesn't exist, can't prove my hunch, and don't care to re-hash all the inconsistencies there. But the denial was very unconvincing, and the multiple levels of lying here remind me of a simple thought process a boss told me long ago .... "I may have been born at night, just not last night!"

Never said it didn't stink of manure, it certainly does. And I never said it wasn't pertinent to this thread. I just disagree with posting it immediately after it was received. That would have served no purpose but generate 50 new pages with no new info.

Now that the time frame Bill himself stated in the emails has passed, he has no reason not to come forward and post this information himself. The fact that he has not and has not come forward with any promised information is very telling.

Just imagine if this had been posted when Bill sent it. There would probably be atleast 50 new pages of posts by people asking Bill to post his proof, calling him all sorts of names, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Now Bill would do one of two things. He would post he would have the information in the time frame given or he would not post at all. Either way, no new information would be presented. Now here we are, after the time frame has passed, and Bill still has not posted.

Consider you are reading this thread for the first time. You get to that email, but now you have to wade through 50 pages of useless crap to find out if Bill post the promised info. I have had that happen to me and it pisses me off to no end. I will not be a party to perpetuating that kind of thing.

I like things in a nice neat little package. Waiting until now to post the email ties it and all the subsequent post together. They flow, they have continuity. IT ISN"T SPREAD OUT ALL OVER THE DAMN THREAD!

Give someone eough rope and they use it. By waiting, Bill was given ample oppurtunity to gather the required documentation to prove his claim. He failed to do that. He is now dangeling from the end of that rope.

Would I have posted that email? Eventually, yes. I have just been lazy and busy with my daughter and it just wasn't at the top of my priority list. Davey just happened to beat me to it.
Dennis,

I can't disagree that I would have given him until the date he mentioned. But when 7/21 came and he posted about sending Lee the money I would have given him no more than a day to do it. Since I first saw it today (here) I am speaking of the present. Perhaps I should have worded it as "Had that been sent to me last night by e-mail, I would have posted it".

One would think if KodiakWood is truly Bill's son he would have supported his father by adding a 13th vote to the Certified Good Guy poll. The fact that he hasn't speaks volumes.

Yea, I did take your posts as meaning you would have posted the email back on 07/13 if you had received it. So looks like we are on the same page then. ;) And I do agree with you that it probably should have been posted sooner. I just really didn't have the time to do it and then attend to all the flake that would have resulted.
 
Jim O said:
Chuck,

Now that this is out, did it temper your responses. Was this e-mail part of the reason you couldn't "pull the trigger"?

Sorry for the late reply....

Not really because the email arrived a bit later on. I was just really shocked from the onset that Bill would do something like this, and I found myself at a loss for words (good or bad) throughout the thread.

But really...this was like hunting a fainting goat. Have you ever seen one of them? You say BOO and they drop like a rock. This was no fun....just major dissapointment.

Yes one would think so. I put a few things together several days ago but wanted to see how Bill responded to the question “if he ever used that account”


Maybe I just have a hang-up over smiley after smiley at the end of most of the posts. The same as this Bill has done in the majority of this thread.

I have read or skimmed all the posts by the 24 year old Bill and maybe it’s just the darn use of smile’s that make you go hmmmmmmmm.

....a compliment out to Wes

Wes,
Apparently you crossed one of those lines that invokes the wrath of the grand poobah, and its a shame cause you would have had some choice posts here in the latter parts. But I wanted to give credit where credit is due, back when you were saying (and I paraphrase) "there's something else going on here". The insider email certainly meets that definition. If you had caught wind of it, I thank you for trying to provoke it out into the open early on. If not, you sir are of ESP quality or something even more bizarre, maybe with a 360 head, and I may have to wear a silver cross whenever we meet. Again, I tip my hat.

I'm still curious, Chuck, as to why when 7/21 passed you felt the e-mail should not be publicized? Don't you think that Bill had forfeited his right to any consideration beyond that? And don't you think that is was totally germane to the issues raised in this thread? The fact that he used Wendy to add credibility to his lies speaks volumes about his character. If he was looking for a "middle ground" he has a deep mine to climb out of now, no light, no map, and the canary is no longer singing. JMHO of course.

Capital letters in the middle of sentences too, Dennis. Very similar writing styles and IP's. Does make one wonder. :>poke2<:
 
They both decided to leave within 20 minutes. Go figure.

...OK, expanding on the "Kodiak Wood" persona ..

For those who didn't spend the two hours to read the entire thread, the discussion is about one more "problem" in Bill's long list of travesties here, and his likelihood to continue business as other entities, as he has likely already done. Of specific reference is post number 477, page 96, by his "son" explaining that the "Kodiak Bill" identity is separate from his Father's business. Short and incredibly convenient, here's one passage
but like in any family there was a blow out, and my dad decided that he would change his name to Clearwater Reptiles.
Just sounds FOS to me. So much of this outfit is not like any other family. Doesn't pass the smell test. Then we have this:
I just started get back into boas and thought since the name was here I'd use it
My but isn't that convenient. I tried to put myself in the shoes of the "uninvolved son". and none of my words came out as posted here. As for the IP info divulged in other posts by Dennis, etc, I'm no satellite dish wiz, but four houses away is too far for any wireless router; and "hey neighbor .. just let me run this cable through your yard, OK?" Maybe I don't know the logistics how it could be done, but its a stretch eh?
Unfortunately, Bill will be able to shed any identity that draws suspicion anyway, reinvent himself, and continue his low-life ways. Why keep beating this one? Bill has shown himself to be a thief and liar at every level of his thread. All of the earlier contriteness and repentance was there for those still gullible. To believe that this was his only rip-off is just too naive. And he'll do it again. With all the other info assembled by others (nice work!) ... its a duck !!
