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 !!

Funny part is , Why would Paypal do anything ? I thought Mike stated earlier in this thread he isn't using Paypal anymore dude to them not allowing animal sales on there. More lies from the Scumbag Matson family. It's like the whole family is garbage. I still haven't received any form of payment from him. I'm certain I won't get my money ever, but I'm certain Mike will get his due.

Wouldn't hold my breath on getting paid back if I were you... unless you own a scuba tank.

Oh, and if you paid him with PayPal he already HAS your email address... so yeah.
Hey Rick, any of this sound familiar???

Got my refund
Mike refunded my money in full this evening.
Hopefully he will take care of anyone else that is owed, he obviously has a passion for the frogs but needs to work on the business end of things......

I still haven't received any form of payment from Mike Matson nor Mike's Phat Frogs of the $2.250 he owes me. He accepted a small colony of frog on his word and after half a year has yet to pay any of it. At this point Mike Matson is a plain and simple thief. I'll refrain from saying anything else because my last post evidently was borderline abusive 2 weeks after I posted it

Since you brought up your infraction publicly, I will address it. You chose to use unprofessional name-calling and referred to it as being the "Scumbag Matson family" in your post. That is not acceptable here. That is why it was borderline abusive. You were sent an explanation that covered the matter, so you are aware of why you received the infraction.
Maybe you have nothing better to do than complain about a moderator taking you to task because you chose not to follow the rules. Do not blame others for your own failures. In this case, your failure to control yourself with respect to the rules. A failure which you have chosen to embrace in repetition.

tired & cranky shadow
In addition to Nickolas' response, I'm going to add that your post received that infraction about an hour and a half after you submitted it - not two weeks later, as you claimed.Mull refrain from saying anything else because my last post evidently was borderline abusive 2 weeks after I posted it
As an aside, your recent post is pretty close to what I would consider to be antagonism toward a moderator. Tread carefully.

Here we are in the new year and Mike Matson of Mike's Phat Frogs has yet to pay any of the $2,250 he promised to pay me for a group of frogs I gave him on his word. It's been over half a year and he has yet to pay any of it. He kept my frogs like he's stolen from other members in this thread. He still conducts business and continues to do shows for his little scraps of cash, even though he claims to be raking in the dough yet he's not man enough to pay me what he owes me on account of me being mad that after 3 extensions spanning over months he hadn't paid me a cent. To be honest I've done a better job raising frogs than he has so I believe some of it is out of jealousy of him killing thousands of poor frogs with his irresponsible behavior which he constantly blames on other people that don't happen to exist. Hopefully one day he has the decency to pay his debts rather than hide behind countless fake accounts on Facebook asking my friends for info on me.
You've been warned he's admitted to stalking women in this thread and threatening them with physical violence. Something to think about when you decide t do business with him.

I'm posting this on a few of Matson's threads
You really are an old crazy lady.
Rick I have begged to take me to court on this matter.
There is a real difference between Matson's posts and my own. I believe his posts of late have been egregious attempts to be so rude that people, afraid of being mocked, will simply stop posting.
And the ruder he is, the more one has touched on a nerve, so my collection of links seemed to have really panicked him because he lost all control.
My posts and links point out reports from many,many people who have had bad transactions with Matson.
His posts are attempts to deflect and put the hush on people.

I agree, I hope he knows he hasn't scared me into silence, I just choose not to bother anymore, he's dug his own hole and anyone who reads this can see exactly what kind of person he is. I hope others come forward to give their opinion of mike matson and aren't afraid of him. He is nothing to be afraid of.
You two are priceless lol
Lucille I'll still be producing and selling reptiles after you are long gone.
Julia no one give two squirts about your business.
