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.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

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....
Bad Guy Mike Matson of Mike's Phat Frog is a scammer !!

Some of the unpaid debts are even detailed on Fauna.
I have already mentioned to several people that I doubt the validity of the financial statement Mike pictured. Everything he says seems to be a lie. I believe he is probably in financial straits, and trying to bluff and bully his way out of debts he can't pay.
You have been warned here, and knowing what kind of person you are, I'd never have any reason to go look where you wallow in the kind of mud that is prohibited here.
High Desert Reptile, that's the name of the store you are trying to open?
I'm wondering if the chronic threats Mike makes, the business problems, the money problems, are perhaps an alcohol problem?
If so then he should get treatment.
This is why Mike has to be nasty elsewhere:
Mr Matson,
Apparently, being let back in with a full infraction load has confused the system, and it doesn't know what the heck to do with you. Since your recent infractions haven't automatically removed you, I'm making this warning public:
One more transgression - I don't care how minor - and I'm giving you the boot.
To be clear, that means no more posturing, threats, name calling, off topic posts, posting of curse words, inflammatory remarks, posting of facebook (or other) messages without clear identification of the author, etc.
Hhmore this is exactly what I am talking about right here. This is the exact assumptions made intentionally to defamate my character. No proof behind this at all!
Lucille if you didn't know I don't drink. Sorry to dissapoint you. Maybe a few times a year. Jack and coke or margaritas. They are delicious.
Check Facebook Lucille
Lucille I have disproven all of your assumptions. Keep making assumptions that defames my character.
You will stalk my Facebook. Don't act like you won't. I will have what I am looking for soon. That is the bonus of "Facebook" friends. You are disgruntled that I have not removed any of the post on Facebook regarding you. It seems a lot of non fauna users dislike you.

I think it would be enough to say defame.
Lucille is intelligent enough to avoid that pitfall - note the phrasing "I wonder if", and "If so". Planting seeds...
My suggestion, Mike, in all seriousness, is to take a break from these threads.

Good bye Michael!

Rather than taunting, how about showing something to confirm the transaction you mentioned?
That's all this thread has turned into. I have given several day breaks to find this thread to be continued on thru either Jay or Lucille.
If anyone else has said the things Lucille said they would be banned. She doesn't venture off fauna because she is very very disliked elsewhere. This place protects her.
Also, I noticed Lucille does not have the city in which she lives on her info. Only the state of Texas. I Believe that she is suppose to list the actual city she lives in.

As I reminded you earlier - focus. You're wandering from topic, Mike. If you want to talk about Lucille, this is not the thread for it.

To be clear - that wasn't protection...it was redirection. Given the nature of your statements, I think the place for the thread would be the Feedback Forum, since it isn't a business issue.

Mike, I thought you were done commenting … really, you should just walk away from the keyboard and log off fauna indefinitely.
With all the threats you have been throwing around and the name calling, you are looking about as mature as a 5 y/o.
LET IT GO, you are only making yourself look worse.
If that is really your PP statement, why have you not repaid your debts?

What difference does it make if it IS his Paypal statement?
All that shows is what is coming in
He may have twice that in outgoings!
And tbh who gives a darn!
He will not be repaying his debts because he does not want to, because he is so darn arrogant and feels he can do whatever he likes and get away with whatever he likes, thats why.

Mike Matson Continued
In Mike's defense, which I know sounds like an oxymoron, he did pay me back on a nearly 6 year old debt. I posted what had transpired, always sticking to the truth. Mike of course did not agree with my version of history, but I did not resort to (at least not very often) name calling, threats and trying to prove who is the coolest reptile guy on the planet. I really thought that this might have died down by now. Mike does not have that many public old debts/disputes left to resolve. If he can take care of them on an individual basis, offline, this could all start to go away. The running battle with Jay is going to take a little more work, but maybe it is possible that they can both call a truce. Their open warfare is starting to look like a Trump/Cruz battle.

I agree. He won't repay any other debts, because he feels he doesn't have too.
Truthfully, I don't give a rats behind how much he makes. He's only offered that as a way to show how "big" he is.
That feud will never end … Mike has to constantly prove he is bigger and better … Jay should ignore him, but he won't.

Mike paid you because you were the cheapest debt. Let's see him take care of the 2000$ one and the 4000$ one.

No offense but you aren't ignoring him. If you were dealing with what I am dealing with from mike and his tag team partner Barry lambert you would have difficulty ignoring too. Especially when you live in the same General area and you see the victim of mikes cyber bullying in person frequently. And you are being stalked ,threatened and provoked as much as I am. Are you aware of the fact that mike had people stalking this 15 (now 16)year old girl at the reptile SuperShow a couple weekends ago? I have pictures that were forwarded to me of her at the show taken by his minions. This is getting to the point that it should be causing serious alarms to go
Off.
When you have people taking pictures of a child at an expo that is already being cyber bullied being posted on the same facebook page she is being bullied on its serious to me. No wonder she wants a truce.
She's probably scared.
Im not calling a truce with anyone who threatens me. Stalks me. Taunts me. I have done nothing wrong in any way ever to Barry lambert or mike matson. And the two are very much connected. With that I will say to
Those who say I should ignore Matson while they themselves are not following their own advice. Have a good day.
