    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....

Info Dustin Draper

I made this thread in an attempt to explain myself and accept responsibility for having been dishonorable in the past as well as show that I am no longer that person. Show that I am here only to contribute in a positive way. Not be a plague that just wont go away.

I explained my motives for the assumed names.
 
But you only partially explained yourself. I'm generally pretty forgiving of people, but there are just too many inconsistencies for me to ignore.

You supposedly had lace monitors stolen, but you haven't yet said where you acquired said lace monitors. Whom did you purchase them from? Post receipts and correspondences. Until you can prove you had lace monitors in your possession, then all the evidence currently posted points directly to you trying to sell animals you never had.
 
So, basically, the truth is that you only tried this because you got caught. Had you been successful at selling under the other names, you would not have come forward with your real identity.
 
Wrong. I was simply trying to do good business and contribute. But i used fake names due to ruining my reputation and even the mention of my name would get me banned. I made this because im sick and tired of my reputation being poor when i really want to build it up in a positive way.

So where did you get the monitors from?
 
Dustin,

You claim to have lace monitors currently. You claim that you had lace monitors stolen. You claim that you purchased lace monitors from someone in FL. You claim to have filed a police report. All of this is current or has happened recently. And, it's very, very easy to prove.

You've been asked to prove that you've turned the corner and you want to salvage your reputation. I think it would go a long ways if you either proved that the above is true by posting pictures, etc. Or, admit that you made it all up. Either is a step in the right direction, in my opinion. It's time to come clean if you really are committed to starting over.
 
Yes I used to have Lace Monitors. Yes I had gotten them from Florida. I am currently partial owner of a pair gotten from the same man. I dont fully own this animal. Nor do i have it in my possession. I have nobproof whatsoever to my claims.

You're lying Dustin. It's very easy to prove with a name and pictures.

How about the police report that you filed? That's extremely easy to prove.

Ron Currington. Hes not mainstream. Just a collector who trades.

You purchased bells lace monitors from Ron Currington who lives in Sarasota, FL? That should be easy enough to confirm.

Now, how about those pictures and the police report? Surely you took pictures of the bells lace monitors you purchased from Ron Currington?

How old were your bells?

Forgot to ask. Who's your current partner (the other owner)?

You're not doing a very good job of that at all...

"I wouldnt have even collected the money if you sent it" (quoted from the texts/screen shots) has to be one of the silliest things I have ever heard in my life.

:rolleyes:

How is my statement wrong? Did you plan on earning a good reputation under one of those other names, then making an announcement that you are really Dustin Draper?

Mr Castro - you seem to be seeing how much you can get away with of late. You should probably stop trying to dance the line, and keep your BOI posts relevant to the topic.
