• 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....

Info Lee Abbott disappointed/problems with transaction

Thank you for the post! I've done business with Shiver and he's a good guy in my book. 3rd party transactions are sticky no matter what you do, I've also stopped being the middle man for people.
I understand both sides: Shiver is just the middle man and has been a great guy trying to settle this - it can be hard enough to communicate with one person, but harder to communicate with two. But also if you have the time to post things on facebook for sale then shouldn't you also have time to message people back? Or at least, if you know you don't get on facebook often, and you know the person who owns the snakes also has them for sale other places, maybe it isn't wise to put them up for sale on facebook at all? Like I said, it is sticky. I've never gotten anything from the Abbotts, but I've done business with Shiver and I do believe he's an honest person. It is good to have posts like this in the BOI though, for many reasons.
