    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....

Jacksonville Expo  what a FLOP!!

Steve.......Stevarino.......The Steve meister.........whatever your last name is....BTW, those ARE still the rules while they're being discussed.....FULL NAME.

Now, to address your points......one in particular.

"what does he need to do spend all his profits so the small vendors will be happy"

He IS the PROMOTER right?<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>?  isn't that EXACTLY what he's supposed to be doing.  I know this because I promote a local show as well....if the vendors aren't happy, they won't come back.  If they don't come back, customers wont' come.....if customers won't come, then YOU HAVE NO PROFITS.  

The entire point of a promoters job is to make sure that the shows are worthwhile for the vendors.  So YES, he's supposed to spend his profits (not ALL) to make the "small vendors" happy.  After all, without the small vendors, there wouldn't be much of a show now would there.  

The impression I get from your defense of Wayne is that he is in this for the bucks.  He doesn't give a rats ass what happens to the vendors, the customers OR the animals.  You wanna know how far I went to fill a room....I droppped our table prices down to $25 each......That has GOT to be the lowest price show in the country.  The reason I did it....to get MORE vendors to come to make the whole day MORE enjoyable for the customers.   The more customers I get, the more the vendors sell, the more the vendors sell, the more vendors I get, the more vendors I get, the more customers I get......sounds like Mr. Hill needs to learn from this mistake.  I'm sure if I met him, my perception might be different than the impression you give, but the man HAS to be good with the vendors if he expects to make his oh so important buck.

Just my thoughts
 
Scoates is my last name Todd Evans.I'm sorry if you and everyone else don't agree w/ me but I was there friday sat and sun helping to set up. I do understand that alot of you (vendors) did not do very well at the show. I also know that alot did fair to good at the show. as far as the priority at the shows if some one buys alot of animals from you on a regular basis and they help you in what ever way they can are n't you going to treat them different than someone that you might have done business w/ once or twice.I know I would.Is that blackmail because you give a regular customer a better deal than any joe shmoe?
again I'm sorry if you disagree w/ me.I know that when I talk to  wayne again I will let him know these concerns of yours and make a few suggustions .if he listens that is completely up to him all I can do is suggest things.
thank you and this will be my last post on this subject.
