    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....

Ah, there it is! Yea, I'm going to question your motives and your marbles if you truly think somebody deserves a free snake because of an inventory error.

That is what the BOI is for, to raise questions and voice opinions. I clicked on the link in post 60 here and actually took the time to reread the entire thread. There is a lot of divided opinion and at least one other person mentioned a free snake. I also saw in several posts in that thread where I said some pretty nice things about you, yet I also stand by my comments agreeing with the OP, who I think had several valid complaints when the snake she ordered and paid for was sold to someone else.
All in all I think it ended up being an excellent discussion of the issues presented. I think that happens when an OP has an issue, presents it well, there is plenty of different thoughts with facts and reason, leaving readers to think through what they have read and come to their own conclusions.
Ultimately in that thread there ended up being differing conclusions and that is OK, even the Supreme Court is often divided. But it was a good thread.

I offered a FREE Pizza as reconciliation and was mocked. I never really ~truly~ recovered (mentally, nor physically) from that humiliation and for that I will never forgive her.

Because of the divided opinions, with some liking the pizza idea and others thinking that it was inadequate, I really think your years of alleged mental and physical suffering were a burden you put on yourself.

This is one of the most under rated aspects of the BOI, especially to new people. I have learned many valuable lessons here from the experiences of other people and the discussions surrounding the situations. The BOI is so much more than “who to buy from/who to avoid.” It’s a place to learn the right way to conduct business, recognize red flags, figure out some of the personalities on the site. I will continue to support the BOI andrhe site as a whole because this is a unique place.
 
I was introduced to KS and Fauna in the early 2000s. A nobody. Back then, certain people used their "status" or "name" to achieve an untouchable reputation. I crossed a few of those paths, as documented here. Albury, Felice. Well insulated by the "establishment". Eventually, they were exposed. At that time, the Hell forum and other sites outside of this one showed me a side of certain people here that some would be shocked by. Never judge a book by it's cover. I have a feeling Mike knows what I'm talking about.

By your logic, im winning because I managed to get half the trader rating she did with only what, 7 or 8% of the posts? ��

A supposed 15,000 transactions and you could only muster a mere (2) for a trader rating. Only two people willing to rate you after 10 years of selling here. Sheer dumb luck could produce more than 2 ratings after 15,000 transactions. Only took Lucille selling "some tape" to best you. "But, but... I only sell everywhere else". "But, but... there is no overlap of customers on the forums". "But, but...it's Fauna's fault". "But, but... (insert excuse)"

"Fauna this... Fauna that...", yet here you are. "But, but..."
One good thing, only 2 more days and peace out girl scout.

p.s. Psssst... freebie, 2 isn't half of 6.;)

Robert, you definitely nailed it!

Mike, as much as I'd like to take you up on your challenge, I'll pass, I have better things too do with my time, than waste it on you...


I'm done, you're not worthy of my time.


Have a great life Mike!

Yawn. Please, people. This is exactly why so many here dislike FB; the seemingly childish malarkey/ high school mentality that goes on there; now has come to Fauna.

The original post should have been largely ignored so as to NOT feed the ignorant troll.

Get over it, already. Nothing that troll said changes a frackin thing, not history here, or past or current opinions or posts. Nothing anyone has said in this thread (including myself, lol) changes a thing. Let's move on, shall we? :)

Perhaps so. But the original post was fairly neutral, and the posts immediately following were not fb fodder, on the contrary, they were like many of the BOI Good Guy posts.
I appreciate and value the many positive posts in my behalf, and I thank those that made them :)

That is certainly a black view of this thread, or of the BOI. Or perhaps, of the universe.
I prefer to believe that thoughtful writing by individuals does make a difference.
