    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....

Inquiry KRIS REINERS ------ ARIZONA

May I please be privy to that information Mr. P? How "nicely" was that?! :)

You mentioned it first my friend... It's gonna be IBD like symptoms at first. "Colony Cleanser" is the one that cross contaminates and wipes the whole colony clean in a matter of days.

I tag it like this #DIAW---stands for "dead in a week." That's what I was trying to prevent by making this INFO thread. Somebody will thank me later on. I know it!

That picture of that Hypo Boa in Kris' tub shot, from FB that he erased... that is how it starts, conditions just like that. The bacterial remnants in the water dish are a good indicator that it's COMING for somebody! I should probably re-post that pic. It makes me sick though!

It was epic, I posted that picture and asked a group how much to drink that dish of water. We got to $6200 and somebody said, "ok."

You can run the site however you want, it's really not my business. I was just wondering if you felt Tom's posts have been on topic, because as far as I understand, it is against the rules (which you made) to make disruptive off topic posts in the BOI.

So again, do you think his posts are contributing to the matter at hand (or to anything for that matter), or simply trolling and trying to elicit responses from people? If you think they're on topic then you're right, he's done nothing wrong, and I shouldn't ask questions.

I'd hate to think that you're letting this go on simply to give people some entertainment considering this is supposed to be a professional site, but at this point I can't see any other reason why it's still happening.

And another thing, Nick. You think you are being cute by going back to old posts and reporting them? Do it one more time. I dare you.

Define "professional". Please? And for what it's worth, I don't believe a BOI thread exists that isn't "entertaining". Just sayin'.
 
So you're saying this isn't a professional site? At this point I would agree with you.

I was mainly referring to the fact that people compose themselves in a professional manner and don't name call, make false accusations, or generally act like children. Again, I seem to have been wrong about that.
 
Have to say that the photo had a snake in a disgusting tub.
I never understand why some people post pics, like that, of their snakes.
One person stated that some people take pics, with living conditions like that, right after a shed and then clean the tub afterward. Well, maybe so, maybe not, but the snake is not going to change color/s in the short time it takes to clean the tub ... or the short time to move the snake elsewhere before taking the pic.

I messaged April and she told me to report posts if I felt they were in violation of the rules. I did as she said. Now you're giving me infractions for following what another moderator instructed me to do?

I didn't report anything that shouldn't have been reported. If there are that many things for me to report maybe that's saying something.
 
Posted before finishing. Ugh!

The bad thing is that we do not know why that pic was posted.
Was it a case of "look at what my snake did right after I cleaned its tub", or was it a pic of someone else's snake that Kris posted, or some other reason?
It looks bad but a lot of "innocent" things can be turned to look bad. Was there a caption to the pic?

So you felt going back and marking 8 or so posts with reports for violations was OK? Thinking that you can flood us with reports so we have to do SOMETHING to stop you? Hopefully banning someone, perhaps? I'm pretty sure that April would have never suggested that you do something like that. You are just all worked up in a snit and want us to smite your adversary for you, now don't you?

Sigh, I guess you missed my posts about taking this sort of conversation to the Feedback Forum. Well let me play a similar game to yours by going back and giving you an infraction for YOUR off topic posts and see if that triggers a ban. Probably not the ban you were hoping for, but things just sometimes work out that way, fella. See, isn't this FUN?
 
Couple of other questions for now.
Was a necropsy ever performed on the overweight snake that we know passed away?
Had it even been seen, by a vet, at the least end?

I didn't say that. I asked you a question which you not only avoided, but took it upon yourself to distort. That being said, your opinions here are no less valuable than anyone elses here. Just keep it real. And for what it's worth, if we all acted indentically, this would ne one boring planet. Webslave get's it
Thus the success.
 
Nick - you were advised to take this to the proper forum. I'm not going to explain it here. If you continue this crap when your ban expires, you'll be gone for a year.

Didn't mean to step on your toes, Rich - I was looking at a different angle, and voted them before I came back to this thread.

Well, that saved me some work. If either of them comes back foaming at the mouth about this site or otherwise being a general pain in the ass right off the bat, make the ban for a year. Or two. I really don't care.

Now, everyone else, please heed my warning about what posts are ON TOPIC here and which ones will need to be continued in the Feedback Forum. Your attention to this detail will be appreciated.

I strongly feel tom edited that photo and put kris's name and a date on it. When he first posted it, there was nothing there, then after someone said "how do we know you didn't pull it off google" a picture with kris's name popped up, which on facebook for a long time now, when you click on a person's photo it does NOT show their name or a date, it only shows a caption IF they provide one. That's a cell phone screen shot bot a computer screen shot. So what I see he sees, that photo was EDITED

Kris never disputed owning the picture as it appears. Am I missing something?

Kris replied many times to this thread and never denied where the picture came from. Unless I missed it.
If it was edited to change something important then it would have been disputed, wouldn't you think?

This is also true.

I just don't understand why the picture is being debated if the said owner of the picture did not.

Anyway, my opinion is nothing was proved in this thread at this point. The people claimed to be harmed were no-shows. No proof was posted that Kris is responsible for sending sick and/or dying animals.

I went threw all his photos and didn't see that picture. Unless he deleted it shortly before excepting my friend request to see of it was actually in his photos and if it was true.

Either way if that was a fresh shed and a poop that could have been smeared everywhere over night, which happens to all of us, and he snapped a picture real quick of the snake next to its shed I see no proof of that being a sick snake or that that is it's normal conditions, every single other photo shows healthy snakes with clean cages and clean water. If kris does accept ownership than oh well, but I know for a fact tom added that name and date to "prove" it's kris's photo. Like I said someone else after all that added sled how do we know he didn't pull that off google and then that name and dated picture popped up when that's not how facebook shows photos anymore and hasn't for a long time.
