• 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....

You know that one time you don't check the BOI and it bites you in the rear? Yeah.

On October 28th I placed an order for one of their larger, standard-sized terrariums. The shipping section on the website says a turn around time of 6 to 10 weeks for *custom* orders. On January 31st I messaged them on facebook asking for an update. I got an immediate reply to that message stating he was not in front of his computer and asking for which size. I replied promptly.

On Februrary 3rd, I had still received no reply. I messaged again, stating a response by no later than 2/5/18 evening. And then becoming suspicious I looked him up on here and saw all the bad threads from 3 years ago.

On February 5th, my order status was changed to awaiting shipment but still no message from the company. No shipping number was given.

On February 15th, I request an update on shipping status.

It is now 2/20/18 and still no contact. I have called my credit and filed a dispute. Included in the email to my credit card company were the screen shots below as well as links to threads detailing the same past behaviour.
