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.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed
=====================
Posted 08/15/2025
=====================
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....
JeffB apparently doesn't like me having KINGSNAKES.COM...

Well, kingsnake is the weakest type of logo/company name you can have from a copyright/lawsuit standpoint. If you were trying to sell fujis.com the case would be over in a heartbeat and you would loose. But kingsnakes is a group of snakes, not a very strong copyright.
I will say this, make sure it's not forwarded to fauna as that's where he has some footing for a case. The confusing similar thing doesn't work in your favor there. You have no issue if people go to kingsnakes.com and see it's a spoof site or nothing having to do with snakes but he might have some grounds with the fact that you do the exact same things here.
This prick owns adamblock.com and sure it's his kids name and all but I wanted to make sure he had some rights to it.
Here's another case he lost:
http://www.arb-forum.com/domains/decisions/154531.htm
I just happend to be going through stuff on his company to see who he was and why he had it.
This guy has also had more suits then anybody you can think of but I don't think he's ever lost one:
http://www.sucks500.com/
I did a lot of looking into the domains I had and after my lawyer told me there was nothing he could do I got them and wished he would have sent me the letter he just sent you
Lucky SOB!!!

I guess since that domain name KINGSNAKES.COM was simply a referral link to my FAUNACLASSIFIEDS.COM site, I removed that link, in deference to JeffB's wishes, and posted the above complaint there instead. I am assuming that is what he would prefer me to do.
JeffB could have purchased that domain name at the same time he got kingsnake.com. He also could have made an offer to John Organiscak for that name. He also could have offered to buy it from me. But I guess he would rather take this route and try to have his attorney get it for free.
The following is an open letter to JeffB:
Sorry, JeffB, but "kingsnakes" is a very common generic name plainly and commonly in use in the herp world. It is the common name of a genus of colubrid snakes found in North America.
You have no legal right to that name. You are not selling any unique product or service that any of dozens of other websites in the herp world are also offering, either as paid services or for free. Just about ANY domain name related to the herp industry is going to take a person to a website selling something, offering some service, or just inviting them to visit for free. You don't OWN all of the herp related traffic on the internet.
Or are you trying to prove that you actually are a monopoly in this business? Are you saying that you own a person's visitation rights even if they type in a domain name other than yours?
Interesting perspective, I must say.
I got that domain name as a joke, for the chuckle factor it would give me, and it still is, as a matter of fact. But I also did it to allow a friend to get out of a heavy financial debt he owed me, that I knew would be very burdensome to get out from underneath. He had that domain name for a long time, and you NEVER made any attempt to do anything about it. So why NOW is it so all fired important to you?
Isn't this just a personal issue Jeff? It has nothing to do with your business concern at all. Are you saying that fumble fingered users that go to KINGSNAKES.COM instead of your site are damaging to your business? Fumble fingered users that don't know how to set a bookmark, no less.
You stuck your foot in the dog pile back when you banned FAUNACLASSIFIEDS from your site and then when you banned SERPENCO and all my other sites. And you just don't have the sense to just wipe the crap off of your shoes and get on with your life. IMHO.
Now the domain name is up for sale, Jeff, so you can see how important it is to me. I let a friend out of a jam and got a few laughs out of it in the process. This final step was a trap laid for you.
I figured you would do something like this, and you walked right into it. You see, it really doesn't matter to me one way or the other. My getting that domain name has served it's purpose. It made you show your true colors.

wow, that's childish and absolutely will not last when they do the review. Curious if all reptile name domains are now his as well??
Yeah, I know Dennis. JeffB apparently does not play chess.

Yea, that would take a bit of intelligence on his part. It never ceases to amaze me how many times someone can show their a$$ in public and never learn. I really hope you spank him good on this one.

hmm my thoughts ...
I think we need to start a fund for all the REAL Kingsnakes on this earth for a legal defence, maybe we can hire the "Dream Team" to win a class action lawsuit that would make Jeff B have to pay damages to all kingsnakes now and in the future for reprisals. So i think that every reptile owner with a Kingsnake should sue Jeff for copyright violation of there common names.Hmm with that said i just might go buy me a kingsnake now and make a website for him

I was once in a hurry...
I typed in kingsnakes.com instead of kingsnake.com and got Fauna. Now, if i hadn't already KNOWN about Fauna, I would have thought "hey cool, another website about snakes", bookmarked it, then gone on to kingsnake. I mean, COME ON, they don't look ANYTHING alike.... Kingsnake.com looks like a junior version of Yahoo, and Fauna is my FAVORITE color: Green. I mean, Yahoo... Green.... Yahoo... Green.... No contest!
So JeffB's big complaint is that the MORONS of the universe must be protected.
Ah well, I look forward to hearing the outcome on this one.
Oh, and my Kingsnakes all agree, www.kingsnake.com AND www.kingsnakes.com belong to them. So fork it over Rich, Jeff...

Not so fast
Ok so Coca Cola buys Pepsicolas.com and has it redirected back to Cocacola.com. Ummm thats not cool and IS not legal!
Sorry had it went to something else and not competing site it would be ok, but what has happened here is not ok and he did whats within his rights. Unpopular opinion here, but the truth.
It should have never happened.
Perfect example as to why he has a great case was from a prior post:
"I typed in kingsnakes.com instead of kingsnake.com and got Fauna".
I guess she didnt know how to book mark a site either?
Or maybe she has finger isses as described by the webslave.
Either way its a perfect example as to why it is not proper or legal. If you leave the forward on you will lose hands down.
Remove the forward and its yours to sell or keep. No one has a right to take it from you, but you have to use it appropriately and legally.

So let me see.
Jeffie is claiming that the knuckleheads of the internet world are going to type in k-i-n-g-s-n-a-k-e-s-.-c-o-m by accident and get thrown into a tizzy when they wind up on FaunaClassifieds.com. My word! They won't know what to do!! They will likely just go ahead and buy advertising here, or somehow believe they are actually at kingsnake.com and be none the wiser. How will they ever be able to figure out the difference, Jeffie? I mean these two sites are so similar looking that it probably would really take a rocket scientist to be able to figure out they went to the wrong website!
Just how many websites are there out there that have the word "snake" in them? How many websites are offering the same sort of services? How long was kingsnakes.com available after Jeffie got kingsnake.com and he never thought to get it? Do you really think you have an indisputable right to every website that even come close to being similar to yours?
Say, didn't Webslave say that he got that domain name in trade for an outstanding debt? Jeffie, be careful you don't get your arse in a sling by causing financial damages here. I think this would be easily proven in court that your personal vendetta has caused financial damages. All it would take is for someone to bid up that auction on the name and those damages could be substantial. An actual documented and verifiable financial loss could be proven. Far, far from what you would have on your side of the table. All you have is one clown (Steve Schindler) that said he typed in the name wrong and had his head explode over it.
Jeffie, did you even politely ask Webslave to remove the link before going storming to your nepotistic attorney? Did you slam your fist on the desk and demand he DO SOMETHING??? Is he afraid to tell you that you are being a jerk and losing his job as well???
You better put your brain in gear, honey, before that temper, ego, and napoleon complex gets you into big trouble.

Ah, HI Larry. First time here?
What exactly is the product that these "competing" sites are selling? The only thing that anyone pays money for at this site are the banner ads. And they are mostly a donation anyway by supporters of the site. Go ahead, ask any of them about it. This site doesn't "sell" anything, and is not even really a commercial site at all. From what I can see, this site was never even expected to make any money at all for Webslave, and is mostly a public service. All he is trying to do is to get it to break even for him so it is not a drain on his wallet. So there is no incentive, other than a "few belly laughs" considered in that domain name. My belief is that just the chuckles alone of someone clicking on kingsnakes.com and getting a laugh out of being taken to faunaclassifieds.com was the goal of the link jump. Most people know of both sites already and would find the humor in such a thing.
Perhaps the people leaving Jeffies site from getting tired of the bs over there is finally beginning to sting. It was not this site that made that happen. But I am sure that Jeffie wishes they had no other place to go to.

1. Kingsnakes.com ws bought by someone else in 1998.
2. Why he chose to do something about it now is beyond me.
3. Rich did not acquire the name until 2003
4. Steve has been a member here since 02-13-2002
5. Steve did not find this site because of the typo. He has known about this site way before Webslave got it.
6. I wonder if the whitehouse.gov can sue the owner of whitehouse.com ?
7. Rich has had that name for months.
8. Now Jeff is gonna sue because Rich is selling (auctioning) off the site name?
What gives?
I wonder if Redtailboas.com is going to sue Redtailboa.net
I wonder if Pythons.com is going to sue Python.com
Iwonder if I should buy boas.com or if the owner of boa.com might sue me.
I wonder if I can buy snake.com and snakes.com and sue myself.
My point? Dude move on with life.
Life is too short for all this bickering.
Death is only a heart beat away.
Go out there and do some good in the world.
Go and make your self a better person. (That is what I am trying to do)

Sorry about the typos and mispelled wording.
Roger, you said the following:
"Jeffie is claiming that the knuckleheads of the internet world are going to type in k-i-n-g-s-n-a-k-e-s-.-c-o-m by accident "
Would this apply to Sasheena who did infact do this?
So in your own words your saying that she is a "Knucklehead"
Is this correct? Please advise me on this (and maybe her too).
Ritchie:
Jeff is not suing anyone.
Glad to see the redirect has now been corrected.
The site belongs to the webslave and anything he wants to do within the law he can/should do.
Not sure if this site turns a profit, but the profitability does not really matter. The forward to a competing site was not legal and had the webslave left it he would have lost his site and thats why the forward was removed.

If Kingsnake.net was forwarded to a competing site and owned by that competing site (Profitable or not) then yes there would be an issue. There is also an ethical issue at hand.
Kingsnake.net for instance is not so there is no issue.
