    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....

Bruce Stephenson -- Good Guy!

PS, I think Bruce should address the situation, but I fail to see the resemblance to jabba the Hut.


Coomon Jim. I think your just letting Jabba's tail get in the way.

Notice the smile? The beady little eyes? The enormous double chin? They both deal with crooks and support of liars and thieves. And how about that interest in star wars?

They gotta be related. Admit you see the resemblance. :rofl:

C'mon folks. Bruce made a mistake (which he has not "fessed" up to). Making fun of him makes it appear that you have nothing better to do than kick him around for your own personal entertainment.
Considering that this is "Tom Crutchfield's" add on K/S on and not Bruce's, maybe time could be better spent on another thread? Yeah I know the "wet blanket" strikes again.
Could be the snow that fell yesterday has frozen my brain a bit.
 
Okay, enough of the Star Wars puns already. Try to keep this thread on track... the actual conduct of Bruce. His physical appearance is completely irrelevant.
 
I find it interesting how brave you last five or ten posters are from the safety of your computers. You are the same people who usually jump on everyone else from behind your computer. I hereby challenge any of you who would enjoy making fun of me to make fun of me to my face directly in person instead of on the internet and receive my personal response. Then you can legitimately post the results and how courageous you are afterwords here on Richard Zuchowski's BOI who I hold responsible for allowing this. This is a serious challenge. This challenge is to each of you male or female. I am easy to find and attend many shows. Just walk right up to me, introduce yourself and say what you have said on Richard Zuchowski's BOI. If not, I say that you are all cowards for everyone to see.
 
Im game you tub of goo You buying the plane ticket. Seems your awful tough from behind the old computer monitor too...
 
I was going to stay away from this thread but...

There are a few posters that deserve recognition. My disagreement with any actions Bruce had in the past have nothing to do with trying to demean his physical appearance. Just remember that according to the "new rules" (not Bill Maher's but the Webslave :) ) those off-topic posts might be worthy of warning points at the discretion of the moderators. So you are threading on thin ice (although it's quite thick everywhere here in the Midwest).

You know I thought about it. I am willing to take the warning points its only fair. But Bruce has the right to troll others threads and thats ok. When someone returns the favor he gets all butt hurt. So ok I was wrong for doing the same thing he does. Sorry. :thumbsup:

:iagree: :iagree: :iagree: :iagree:

Except I ain't really all that sorry for what I said. I don't view giving someone else a taste of their own medicine as wrong. :shrug01:

But I will try to play by the rules. :thumbsup:
 
Bruce made a mistake (which he has not "fessed" up to).
True. Bruce refuses to accept the responsibility for the deaths of those geckos. Instead, he tried to rip off GKO, and has back-stabbed everyone who has called him on it.

Although I will not comment on the physical characteristics or similarities of Bruce and Jabba the Hut, there are similarities in their behavior:
The Hutts are rotund gastropods with their pudgy fingers deep in the criminal activities throughout the galaxy. They are so influential that they control the commerce on entire worlds scattered throughout the Outer Rim and elsewhere. One prominent member of this loathsome species was Jabba the Hutt, who operated from a dank palace on Tatooine. Hutts are about three meters long and have thick, oily skin. Two short, stunted arms protrude from their upper bodies. They have wide mouths and small yellow or red eyes.
I do disagree with Bruce being "so influential that they control the commerce on entire worlds scattered throughout the Outer Rim and elsewhere."
 
Bruce, here's the bottom line. You effed up at one point.You either need to step up, and handle it like a man, or don't. Making a poor decision does not necessarily make you a bad guy. Refusing to acknowledge or correct your mistake does.

Somehow, I don't get the feeling that you're a bad guy. So, please, scrap the Star Wars crap, step up to the plate, and handle this situation like an honest man.
 
Well we likely shouldn't have done it and yeah I admit is was a little fun . But we were for the most part staying on topic as we were talking about Bruce, though dragging Jabba in was unnecessary.

Bruce you can get yourself all PO'd over this but come on you talk about Jedi and Star wars ETC ETC what the heck do you expect ?? If you wore a yellow polka dotted bikini out in public would you be surprised if people laughed??

The topic of this thread is you and how this deal went, the customer was unhappy and people feel that you didn't hold up your end of the bargain now 195 post later your upset?? Randy
 
I do appologize. Jabba would have culled brucie at birth.

brucie is NOT a nice guy hiding in a fat suit. For YEARS he has been as he is now, trying to buy friends and favors with the animals he purchases. He figures just because his friendship has a pricetag so does everyone elses. This is not new.

Long long ago, in a galaxy far far away, brucie pmd me that he was my friend. I let him know in no uncertain terms that he was mistaken. His threat to me then, and this was YEARS ago, was that I would regret it because he was a big man in the reptile world and his support was a good thing to have.

HA.

You all go ahead and be nice to him, I'll just let him know now that I feel as I always have.

He's a big fat lying sack of crap.

Would I say it to his face? Pull enough fat folds out of the way and expose it to the air and I sure would.

Well, there ya go. I tend to agree with this assessment at this point.

Bruce,
You're a 370 pound man, and you're going to threaten a woman? What are you going to do if one of them actually walks up to you and insults you to your face? Are you going to kick her ass, Bruce? Is that your solution to the problem?

Come on, Bruce, dammit, do the right thing.
