    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....

Wendy, I am not speaking of you when I type these things here, you are one of the people that has shown good judgment on how you type.

And for the record I do not know were you got your info from on me speaking with his mother but I can bet it was Matt, I never read what anyone posted back then. But you are wrong once again on what happened with his mother.

Jim, stop saying "you" and "you guys" then, that is coming up too much, if you don't know who you are making a comment to then don't make it at all.

My info on Matt's mother being upset came from Matt, page whatever and like I have said before, I trust Matt completely so if he said she was upset and crying she was.

You just don't get the fact that this was a big misunderstanding and you are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill, then when it backfired on you, you got even more pissy.

So again THE BEST THING FOR YOU TO DO IS TO STOP, DROP IT, GET OVER IT.

The more you try to make this come out your way the more of a hole you have shot into YOUR reputation, is it really worth it?

I am speaking from EXPERIENCE here, when you are told to drop it and shut up just do it. Don't keep making all these 1/2 witted statements and saying the same things over and over and over, you are just ticking off everyone even more everytime you punch the bottons on that keyboard and hit post message.

Again if I have not said it yet, thanks for all of the great shipments Matt, you are a really good guy to do business with!
 
All of this crap aside, it really boils down to simplicities here....

Everyone knows Matt is a stand up guy... Pages upon pages of people coming forward about great experiences proves this fact. I have personally dealt with Matt numerous times and have referred many a customer his way. I have yet to hear one single thing even hinting in the direction Jimbo wishes to push this trivial situation in. Jimbo turned a miscommunication into a hollocaust, and chose the worst possible ways when dealign with a VERY simple issue. You should have taken your ball and gone home Jimbo..... You've proceeded to shoot yourself in the foot numerous times here. With every single one of your pathetic posts you are ruining any chance that anyone here will EVER take anythign you say at face value. Stop running your mouth, stop making excuses, this is no longer about Matt. This is about YOU Jimbo. You can sit there and make excuses for all of your horrible words and actions but guess what? You still said them, you're still saying them, and you're still proving to everyone why they should not deal with you. You have no one to blame but yourself Jimbo.

Unlike Matt, Jimbo has proven himself to be immature, unprofessional, generally illiterate, and a overall hazard to deal with. He has badmouthed numerous people in the community on numerous occasions, and still fails to realise the black and white picture here. For the love of god, who calls someones MOTHER to press them for information or bring up an issue with her sons business? How cruel and ignorant can you possibly be?

I do not know how many times I can say this..... It still does not sink through that thick stubborn skull of yours.... But here we go again, grab a pen and paper, write this down, and glue it to your forehead...


This is no longer about your trivial petty pathetic situation Jimbo. This is about YOU. This thread changed its course long ago, and rather than address these issues in a mature fasion, you've just confirmed everyones suspicions. Your reputation and behavior has been the topic and you've done everything in your power to make certain the people doubting you were given reasons to doubt you even further! Doubt has turned into complete and total distrust and hatred, and you have no one but yourself to blame for this. DEAL WITH IT. Either start acting your age, or simply shut it. For good. It's nto that hard to comprehend. What is wrong with you? Are you that oblivious? Pay attention Jimbo........

And do not think for a second you will EVER sidestep any of this, I'll always be here to remind you and anyone who inquires about you.

I promise Jimbo.


With Love,

Chris
*hugs and kisses*
 
Oh yes, and posting things like this in other peoples threads promoting thier products is just SO professional.....You're selling similar products and trashing competition. How upstanding of you. You're a lowlife Jimbo.

REPENT!

I cannot believe how many people are impressed with these racks. I think they suck, I purchased 2 of them at first. I finally had some baby chondros hatch. and one of my babies got out because the tub shelf is not even, the back slopes downward to give a bigger gap in the back, then I emailed them to let them know and they gave no remidy for my situation, I then had 2 racks and wanted a third one to make my stack complete and the third rack is wider then the first 2 so they look like crap and do not sit flush with my other cages, and then I had a baby escape from a different rack.
This is why I started building racks myself because I think his stink.
 
Lets review just how professional and mature Jimbo REALLY is....

No matter the situations, these posts speak VOLUMES about his overall character. Perhaps now you will begin to see what I am referring too, and just why everyone here seems to be dead set against you. Pay attention, you may learn something eventually. (doubtfully)

nvm, I could go on all day. funny thing is if you go read through his previous posts, the majority are simply bitching. I do not see one valid contribution. you're either complaining, or trying to sell something. Your motives are obvious Jimbo. If you're such an upstanding guy why is it all of your OWN words contridict this?

Please, enlighten me. Tell us why we should listen to a proven annoyance and ignore one of the best people in the industry? Your wonderful charm and wit? :rofl:

Yes, exactly what I thought.
 
jim scharphorn said:
A very few people say that I will not except that I was wrong.

Actually its very few that say your right. Two as of now to be exact.

jim scharphorn said:
Well I have nothing to be wrong about,

Youve got nothing to be right about either. So what the point of continuing?

jim scharphorn said:
Sure Matt paid me back, Only After I posted it here.

Sure, he was going to keep your goods and the money. :rolleyes:

jim scharphorn said:
Matt offered free goods, (Big deal, WOW that makes it all better )

I hate free stuff too. If he ever tries that crap on me I'll call his house and make everybody cry!


jim scharphorn said:
but Matt has not admited he lied yet and that is the bigger part here now.

No Jim, the bigger part, or rather the bigger difference, is between a 10mg and 20mg pill that will help you see what youve lost since this began.

jim scharphorn said:
But a few of you cannot see this because you are stuck on my bad grammer and do not even want to side with me because of this.

Stop the Gin & Tonics and get hooked on Phonics. Even Gin & Phonics would probably work at this point. In a few months you'll be able to read and spell words like "dog" and "cat". You might even be able to read and form complete sentences like....."the dog chased the cat".

jim scharphorn said:
I call you few morons, and fools,

Youve said enough for us to know who the moron and fool is here. Did you really think any of us would take your words to heart?

jim scharphorn said:
well that is minor to what you have said about me.

"I'll stuff your snake with a rat so large it'll puke every time you sneeze".

You've said enough about yourself.

jim scharphorn said:
If you want this thread to end then quit talking bad about someone that is not in the wrong.

No one posted for a while and you revived the thread.

From looking at your past posts and in particular the one about you "stuffing a snake with a large rat so it will puke it up", I am certain of who the bad guy truly is. You've been treated appropriately here based on your overall reputation and comments. Like dirt.

jim scharphorn said:
Look at the 2 people that posted here in kind of a defense for me,

What a long list of supporters you have. Maybe if your nice to Matt he'll throw some business your way.

jim scharphorn said:
you tore them up blammed them for me getting them to stand up for me. again you wrong the wrong people.

And there it is. You went out and "got" people to defend you.

So what was the discount you offered them in trade of this errrrr...service?

jim scharphorn said:
And you call your selfs professionals ? sure professionals at knowing how to rip people.

I used to book kids in school too. I cant help myself. I guess I'm just a bully.
 
:rofl: :rofl: :uzi: :rofl: :rofl:

Jim? Are you still there?

Let this thread die down Jim. Believe me, it would be the VERY BEST THING YOU HAVE DONE WITHIN THIS THREAD!!!

Greg,

Honestly now, if you really want him to let it die down, why add yet another unread post to the end, just tempting him to open the thread again?

Want him to stop posting? Then stop begging him to post. But then I suspect that you already knew that.

Wendy,

Evidently you are easily amused.

I for one find most of this to be nonsensical inanity. Most of what I have said has been to encourage everyone to SHUT UP. But the Jim-baiters just can't, or won't. My comment was about just that. Yours was about how amusing you find a sincere effort to get people to really let this thing die.

If every time Jim made a comment here people wouldn't egg him on, eventually it would stop. That was my point, in terms simple enough for even the easily amused among us to understand.

Oh, and by the way, this was not intended as humor, but if you find it funny, please be kind enough to post it on a humor site for some reality testing.
 
Yet here you are, refusing to practive what you preach. How ironic.
 
So now that I make a common sense response to this thread it becomes about me? Get real. I am not the one defending either party or egging either of them on. The only ones responding to my posts are those of you who truly do not want this to die (which is perhaps because it is human nature to become defensive when shown to be behaving badly). Go ahead and bash me too. My ego does not depend on your opinion, Chris.

Quite honestly there are any number of people who have posted on this thread with whom I would be certain not to do business as they have sadly also shown their true colors.

What I "preach", Chris, is not to goad Jim into making more comments. Show me where I have directed at him more than at the "community at large". Please, I'd like to see it.

I have no reason to bash you. You want to see the thread die, yet you keep posting. Its defeating your purpose, I do think you misunderstood my meaning. No harm, no foul. :)

Ever consider that maybe "how it is done" isn't the best way? I refuse to have my creativity stifled by other people's solutions to problems. There are always better ways to do things.

My point above was there are a lot of people baiting Jim by telling him "this should die" but they are completely and totally disingenuous.

You are the first person who has said the truth which, put another way is "say something we don't like and we'll keep kicking you and telling you to get on up so we can kick you again."

I applaud your honesty about it even as I deplore the method.
