• 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....

Bad Guy Core McDaniel/ Mark Braud scammed me out of $200

From the Facebook FBI - Feedback and Inquiries for Reptiles page:

"This is Mark Braud, he was arrested today after all the scamming he has done over the last two years. I had been tracking him for over two years as he's scammed a lot of people under numerous aliases. I'll list the ones I know further down in the post. If you've been scammed by him and have filed a police report you need to press charges and call the Livingston Parish Sheriffs Office. He's facing charges there, also in St. Tammany and in Brookhaven Mississippi. I think additional charges are pending for other places. I'm glad my hard work paid off, and also the help of the people who have filed police reports and reached out to me in order to make this happen.

He's known as:
Mark Braud
Core McDaniel
Preston Lloyd
Dustin Grishom
Lance Brumfield

He has other aliases as well that I don't know off the top of my head but please feel free to comment with them. Today is a win for our community as a piece of trash was arrested and should be done scamming people, hopefully for good."

(Note that in one of the images there is a blacked out area. Those are where his kids were standing and their identities were intentionally obscured.)

Yeah just read it on facebook. Hope he gets hammered.
 
Yes, and special thanks to Neal for gathering enough evidence to warrant an arrest. I hope others who have been scammed will follow through and press charges, even for relatively small amounts of money.
