    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....

Biodome/scorpian/leo/ plus extras

Uggh... It's very unfair to do this to people who you know have a passion for this hobby and lifestyle. It was a very immature thing to do. If we are obsessed, oh well, some of us are at least good people.
Thanks Webslave.
 
Byt he way MR. Bates it is illegal for you to use any of this info in anysort of scientific study without a signed release form from eveyone here who participated here. As someone going for your Phd you should know this. I just graduated from the sciences and know these processes so just go ahead and try to use this info. And everyone here has the right to sue. By the way what school do you go to? Prob a community college...lol
 
*starts laughing histerically*

Wow, stupidity at it's best, on several different levels! Cheers!

Ive seen better executed experiments at the county science fair. The grammar was better too.

I feel sooo USED! :eek3: :bleep:
 
I just read the same post he/she made on a European forum, but the biodome has now grown to 120 gallons. I guess he had to expand it to accomodate his iguana :rofl:
 
Sometimes when people are fooling around, joking, or lying, they will throw you a wink, just so you know they are joking. Y`know?
 
Really, I don't think there was a tank, nor do I think he's going for a PhD. I'm willing to bet he is actually 20 (ish) and just looking to conduct his own private psychology experiment called "TROLLING", knowing what the results would be. I don't care what his reasons were....I'm glad he's gone.

I do think, as a whole, we can learn a lot from the postings in this thread. I fully understand the passion behind what was said. I was very tempted to say a few words as well. However, it was really getting out of control. ByRandom should be given an award for making such an informative and cool-tempered post...and I'm sure he wanted to do some smack talk as well, but held back.

Just sit back and think of if this had been real (and it happens)... A kid spends a bunch of money on animals he knows nothing about and thinks they will be friends. How do you think they would react to 10 different people saying they are dumb, cruel, etc? The ears would turn off, and they wouldn't be open to listening to anything because they think they know better. Now, how do you think they would react if everyone gave very cool, concerned factual posts such as the one by ByRandom? In most cases, you'd get a lot further towards educating and hopefully helping the animals in question.
 
Maybe I'm not getting the whole picture here but i thought that the first replies to his posts were for the most part polite and tried to be helpful in a nice way
I don't remember the outrage setting in until he ignored all advice given and
he insisted on doing things his way despite all the good advice that he received
At what point do you stop being nice and start smacking to someone that that blatantly throws your advice back at you??
I know that the one post that I did make was pretty much disgusted at the whole point of people looking for advice and then totally ignoring it- but then I have not had much in the way of patience lately

I do understand what you are saying -perhaps the best thing to do (note to self) is say is nothing if it's not constructive???
