• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

I've seen alot of postings in classifieds concerning this user, so since no one else has taken the time to post here, this is an inquiry as to whether he is legit or not.
 
I saw one of his ads this morning - I think it was the only one he has with a posted image - it looked familiar, but I didn't have time to pursue just then.
Turns out it was an exact copy of another members ad, which was originally posted last year. (see screen captures, below)

Further investigation shows that his number is involved in scam ads for everything from dogs and parrots to steroids and Viagra.

The one I sent says Immediate Permanent Ban; so I doubt we'll get much of an explanation...
 
In retrospect, I probably should have gone through the motions of requiring that he prove his identity first...
 
This person is back - posting ads for ball pythons, this time - using the name Charles Holt. I deleted all but one of his ads...and I posted a message in that one. (I didn't remove them all, because I want something left for people that might use the search function.
 
Forgot to mention, his new location is listed as New Jersey (guess he moved this afternoon - good thing Pennsylvania is close, or he wouldn't have been able to get his ads posted).
New username is nassen20
 
Forgot to mention - Justin Burokas advised us that the reptilestud account used the name Charles Holt, with a Cali location, during their communication.
