    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....

Cool!

I have some Beachfront Property available here in the North Georgia Mountains. I can make you a great deal on it! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :bleep:
 
All I can say is wow.. I am going to have to agree with Casey and say that your just a plain and SIMPLE "JERK". Noone has wronged you here, ever! Your just feeding on the pain and sucess of other in the business.. Enough is enough...
-Matt Graybeal

Yup I am a jerk, to those that lie about our deals and those that try and make me look bad.

Matt you lied about us talking on the phone, you probabably lied more if I read all your posts.
If you actually believe we spoke on the phone, then you are in need of some help.
But I can see why you lied, because your whole website is set up on trust and God and good service, so if you were to be had then you would have to rebuild your site.
God knows who is telling the truth.
 
Right on! Its built on trust, the Lord and good customer service! Now I am not quite sure what you post just said as it really makes no sense "so if you were to be had then you would have to rebuild your site." OK? If I am in need of help my good man then you are in need a a special jacket. I am just going to get a huge can of provent a mite so you will go away.. Noone in this hobby likes a parasite Jim and that sir is what you are...

I have to admit that I admire Jim's moxie for coming on here and duking it out. I just came back from a grueling 12 hours of work, and I now have a smile on my face. You guys are all great!!!!! :cool:

If moxie equates to blind stubborn misplaced pigheaded stupidity in the face of everyone else on the planet then I guess Jim has a surplus.

I find it simply amazing that the last thread about this situation was locked due to beating a dead horse...

Yet here we are again flogging away...

Everyone on the BOI now knows and believes that Jim is a completely worthless hothead...

I know I will never do business with him...
And I will be sure to tell anyone I know to stay away from hi as well...


He is very obviously never going to understand that making the rest of the industry his scapegoats is never going to make him a 'good guy' or grant him the respect he is so desperately clawing for...
Especially when he personally attacks three people who happen to have some of the best names in reptiles, Casey, Rich and Matt...one of whom is a direct competitor (and very close geographically, I might add).

It isn't worth the time and energy anymore...
I am glad your drywall business is going well...at least you will have something to fall back on when you are having a hard time making those boat payments...
 
I like my crow with ketchup and my humble pie with whipped cream, just in case anyone wants to know what I'm eating these days.

Jim! You had a good guy thread here. Why did you come back and screw it up with rantings that have nothing to do with the "good" sales that you have made?
 
Like I said before, a good transaction changes nothing. His own words speak volumes. :rolleyes:

Check & Mate
 
Well if you would quit bad mouthing me then I would not have to.
I never lied about any of my posts, I took a stand for what I felt was right.
Your little group believes me to be wrong but that is fine, no need to spread around that I am a bad guy when I am not.
 
Jim...I have never called you a liar...or started an argument with you...
I merely feel obligated to point out your incessant ability to alienate EVERYONE you talk to...

I haven't spread around that you are a bad guy...anyone who reads one of these posts can easily make that determination for themselves...

I am not part of a "little group"...just a concerned member of the reptile community...and a patron of both businesses you have tried repeatedly to slander in the face of complete opposition...

Haven't you realized that you are the ONLY person either of them has dealt with that is dissatisfied by the tranaction? Seems to me that the resulting dissatisfaction may be a personality flaw on your part...and after reading all the repititious drivel and rhetoric you spew, I am certain that is exactly the case in both instances.
 
Casey,

That is what you get from Sharpie. Your reputation stands on its own! Hope to get a chance to order from you in the near future!

Jamie
