    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site.

    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....

Oh I have no clue huh? LOL Did you forget that I was a customer of yours. Only because I thought at the time from you being on BP.net you were a good guy. Little did I know! I was only a one time and never again customer because I had to wait well over a month to get a tstat from you. Oh yeah you told me you had them, I bought it, and didn't hear anything from you for over a week. I emailed you back and then you told me that you didn't have any, that they were on back order. Waited, waited, waited, no word, finally I got mad I went to paypal. You flew off your rocker at me because of that and finally gave me a tracking # for my shipment. I was happy.... till nothing ever came. I asked you about it and you were like "sorry can't help you out because you went to paypal, yadda yadda yadda". It's nice to know that you got to keep my few bucks all because you gave paypal a bogus tracking # and I was SOL in the end.

Oh well I just tossed it up as a lesson learned.

Um ok..lol.. There were no bogus tracking numbers, thats a plain and simple lie... I just looked it up there super brain:) Love the pic on yoru site as well, you and the roach man should hook up, mckae some awsome looking babies..lol
 
Wow. I know there is another big thread about Matt, and I admit I have not read it, but WOW.

I did business with him a couple years back, and I remember a nice, honest guy, who sent my flexiwatt, etc. on time. Matt, what the Hell?
 
ALL I KNOW IS , I GOT WHAT I ORDERED. took little over 2 weeks , ever buy anything from ebay , some times it takes 2 months to get your stuff. hhhhmmm about them meds now..... ummmmm hhhmmmmm meds .......does sinus cold count... then ok i need more... what ever.....

i never really bashed just asked how and why. normally you don't get charged till item is shipped.... thats why i got concerned.... no big deal now i have the stuff.....
 
Matt I know it is the truth, I have no reason to lie.

I'm happy that I have all the emails from paypal and you still as proof. Glad my mother always told me "save everything that you pay for... just in case you need that receipt at a later date". Needless to say... but I save everything and keep track of these kind of things.

Thanks for "bashing" me and my site. Is that all you have is to call me "ugly" and that I have a "bad site"? LOL Last time I checked I wasn't trying to *impress* anyone with my looks and well my site was made around the animals that I love and for myself for fun. I like it, so that is all that matters.

*shakes head*
Pathetic, just pathetic. Thanks for the laugh tho. :thumbsup:
 
Dennis, he dings everyone who doesn't agree with him or has had an issue with him. He's gotten me and many many others with dings with nonsense remarks.
He got me and wrote:

Matt, you have really gone over the edge.
What has happened lately?
You used to be a stand up guy but now you are insulting past customers, ignoring current customers, and being downright paranoid that there is this huge conspiracy against you.
What in the world is going one?

Sharp- You are what whats her name just said.. The dirt on the bottom of my shoe.. You ARE the Roach.. You actually look like a child molester from your pics..lol..

I missed that last sentence the first time I read your responses. You stepped way over the line. You are pathetic.

Way over the line. How dare you!
 
matt, just piss poor form man.

WHAT has gotten into you?

You are most assuredly NOT the guy I used to know and THAT'S a damn shame. That old Matt was a good guy, someone I'd standup for without even knowing all the facts.

Now though, dude, whatever the problem is YOU need to get a handle on it just for yourself, nevemind anyone else.

Very very NOT cool matt.
 
It's sad to see someone who was once a respected member of this hobby drop to such depths.

I hope the next business you start fares better Matt. You have pretty much finished yourself in this one.

So you were hiding the truth about yourself by pretending to be a good Christian man?

What a pathetic hypocrite.

Actually it already has, I purchased from you for my juvie rack last month, but after seeing this I have switched suppliers. I have added three new racks this month, over $2000 spent when added to all the other supplies I have bought this month, and not $1 more dollar to you. Congrats on the great business plan :thumbsup:

I too considered buying from MG but have since gone to another supplier. I, as a buyer, like that nice snugly feeling that I'll get my stuff, I won't get bashed if there happens to be a problem, and I won't feel like I'm talking to a kid fighting over a tootsie roll. Good luck on the downward spiral :thumbsup:
 
WOW!!!! I was originally a good customer of Matt's. When I say good I mean, I did everything I was suppose to do,Did I make the man rich? Hell no!!Did I selflessly promote his business to others looking for reptile supplies,you bet ,several people every month,not because he was the cheapest, or fastest shipper(phssst far from it)it was because I truly thought he was a good guy and that he cared about his customers and not the $$$ they gave him.I know for a fact that several people purchased from him several times because of my recommendation.I don't want a pat on the back I'm trying to make a point. I posted in that other huge tread about how all my orders were slow and the last order i made through him was so messed up(his fault) that i didn't get it the way I ordered it until two months after he had the $$$ in his hand, thats not right. When I got into this hobby I remember seeing Matt post and I always looked at him with respect. I'm not big into God but I also very much respected that Matt was a religious man and was proud of it, and it gave me a sense of security, he is a man of God after all.

Turns out Matt's a hypocrite, likes to talk down to the people who use to help feed him and his family. Hell Matt you built your business on the BOI. And now you come here and talk about what a waste of time it is. No wonder your losing business like crazy and your competitors are booming because of it, expanding there selection , and variety of items they offer and continue to blow their customers minds when they ship 20 times faster than you do. Do you not see how your just dousing your business with gasoline and try your damnedest to get that Zippo to light.

This has gone far beyond shipping times, I stopped doing business with you because you couldn't provide the kind of service I demand from someone I'm giving my hard earned money to. When you went off the deep end and started talking to your customers with the amount of total disrespect that you have is when i started, to not steer business in another direction, but just in any other direction then yours, explicitly warning not to order from you. I'm not talking about 100 people a month,or even ten but it adds up man and trust me there are far more than 10 people on the BOI disgusted by you. That right Matt you disgust me.

Fix your Problems or decide if you even want to do this anymore. Just a bit of advise, your customers(remember them, the ones who you care about?) are always going to want to be happy with their orders, they want them on time and with out your constant excuses or lack their of(I never got an email saying something was on back order or hey you can wait for this right, nor did you try to address my problems when i brought them here,you just admitted that was I correct and not lying), if you can't provide that then please leave and make room for a supplier who can get it done.
 
Unfortunately, Matt's demise at his own hands does not come as a suprise to me. I have followed Matt threads with interest ever since I made my own decision in early 2006 to take my business elsewhere.

Even as recently as late summer/early fall this year, Matt had a lot of support here on the BOI, and it was quite intimidating for people who had unsatisfactory experiences to post their experiences. There were several threads that I almost shared my experience, but saw the threads turning back in his favor when all his supporters would say "Matt's a good guy, he's just got to fix some things".

If you look back at old threads when anyone posted a concern, subtle shades of what you're seeing today came through. I could see it, and I'm sure there are many others who could see it too, but were probably much like myself, unwilling to subject themselves to his ridicule and masterful way of twisting things to make his unsatisfied customers look like the bad guys. You'd see glimpses of his anger in those threads, then he'd come back to say he prayed on it, planned to make changes, and the thread would die with final words of support from his supporters.

I finally worked up the courage to share my experiences that started in August 2005, and my second, benefit of the doubt transaction in January 2006 in the long bad guy thread on him. While no one really acknowledged it, and Matt basically ignored it, I am happy that it is now here as a permanent record. Even as far back as my first transaction, Matt had delayed shipments with no communication to his customers about missed shipments unless they inquired first. And lots of excuses.

Many of his past supporters are now personally experiencing how Matt will quickly turn on you if you dare speak of disappointment in the behavior of a self-proclaimed Christian, and formerly perceived good guy. Sadly, he can't even look inside himself to see how un-Christian like he presents himself these days.

I think I feel more empathy for Matt's past supporters who are now shocked and dismayed by his current self-implosion, than I ever will for Matt.

I have been happily spending my money with other vendors who openly communicate with me, and ship ON TIME with no excuses and am referring anyone who asks to them and warn them away from Matt. The verbal abuse that Matt hands out to even the slightest dis-satisfied customer is not a vendor I care to give my hard earned money to.
