    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....

Mike Shoemaker, Rebel Dragons -- Great Guy!!

Im kinda confused also
How did someone get the said IP from Reptibid and where is it?

IF you're going to participate TRY to do your own research. It's in the thread. It's common knowledge.

In FACT, I suspect that you KNOW the answer but want people talking to YOU.

It seems I was in error in my previous post. There are not just TWO supporters without personal honor or the ability to be honest. There is also dennis1, back from his recent suspension for being a TROLL, here trolling again.

Wow, three strikes before the guy has said word one.

mike, if I may offer another word of advice. IF these three are here at your request, ask them to go away and NOT help you anymore.

If they are NOT here at your request, make sure you get that information out there. IF this is the calibar of your supporters, you are in a world of trouble.
 
Thats Nice,
But seriously i might be a tad computer handicapped
And i may not be reading that information exactly right but i didnt see anything that shows How they got his(bigmanjulio) IP from reptibid or the document(email...or whatever) from Reptibid saying this
If i am wrong and there is one on this thread i apologize for the mistake
The Truth is i barely know what an IP is.
 
Let's see if I can remember what this thread is about.

Is it about the lack of a troll, his apparent inability to see what others do?

NO.

Is it about that same troll who MAY not this and MIGHT not that? While I am sure that the troll would like it to be the answer is, once again, NO.

It's about Rebel Dragons.

There are OTHER forums here where asking computer related questions is not only allowed but encouraged.

Can you find and read the forum map troll?

Try it and see if YOU can't find YOUR OWN answers.
 
Its simple, bud

If anyone doubts the information I have provided, you can simply report this thread to Reptibid as was done in another case recently.

They will either confirm or deny that “bigmanjulio” has the same IP address as Mike Shoemaker, which has been confirmed here.

Make sure you include the other screen names provided by Tere on her posts.

ok we know the ip that was looked up was his.

but I have not seen any proof where the said ip came from.
it is said it was the offending ip but should we take somebodys word?
what i am getting at is that you could have got his ip anywhere and constructed this elaborate conviction.

also if you can prove where the ip came from and it all is true has he broken any laws?
or has he just gotten someone mad which is not a broken law as far as i know?

This said infraction did not happen here so what is the point of this a lot of the said good guys are bad guys and some bad guys good guys ect...

I see no real scam but a possible liar which could include many.

so you must include documents proving where the offenging ip was found.
sorry nobodys word is going to convict anyone except gods.

I believe I can put this in a fashion that will meet the new rules here on Fauna.

I will not answer anymore questions from a bought and paid for member. You are comprised and flawed to give any advice on the BOI. When you have paid for your own membership, I will listen to what you have to say.

For the record, the rest of us have had transactions with Mike. Just so we know where you are coming from you have now elected to vote Mike as a good guy in the certification forum because of this thread. Why is he now a good guy? People should know your motives here.

veral members have been reported and suspend already it apears on this thread.

You two obviously have no concept of the purpose of the BOI. Your benefactor has done nothing to add to the facts presented here.

Instead he has try to hamper the BOI. This is not a court of law read the rules. As Bruce said, I don't have to do anything. I may or may not. I will let you know... It will take me time to prepare a yes or no answer. Sound familiar?

You two can continue your games on the BOI but its only going to cost Mike more.
Bruce say "ït appears that members" have been reported on this thread.


When I leave a thread I usually click on the names at the bottom to see if anyone is replying before I go. So don't report me for stalking.

Guess what I saw yesterday.

Then you would have to believe that I, Tere, Paul, have conspired against someone who we have done good business with.

It is your choice.

I will stand with them. Or you can report this thread to the other site.
 
Just a side note and not a sidetrack here.

It seems that a moderator who has LABELLED dennis1 a troll, has problems with me answering question posed by this troll.

THIS is TOO much and is BIASED.

Dr Owens 10-23-2005 Antagonism towards, or stalking, another member [ View Post] No Comment

I don't like dennis1, this is no secret. Antagonism? Hardly.

I can make my back pocket bigger if you're getting crowed in there owens. I mean that with only the respect I feel for you as a motivator. I don't want you to be uncomfortable as you stalk me.
 
I have provided enough evidence until Mike graces us with his presence.

Rules for posting on the BOI
Proof is optional, but recommended if you would like to remove any doubts about the truth of what you are posting. But this is purely up to you, just as the believability of what you post is purely up to the reader of your words.

It is a hard thing to prepare.

(A yes or no answer).

Wes,
Your post was reported 3 times by different members..."stalking?" I think not. Several different categories of warning points would have been applicable. I chose the "new one." I'm sorry if you don't like my choice. Perhaps you would have liked "discourtesy towards another member" better?

It's really a simple concept...obey the rules and you won't have a problem. The majority of the members of this forum display the ability to do exactly that every time they post. You on the other hand have more warning points than anyone else on this forum. YOU are the one who can't follow the rules Wes. Stop blaming other people.
 
Interesting that an entire post was also LOST, eh owens.

Rich, please remove my goodguy certification. I am not going to bring people to this site when there are mods like this guy stalking me and fining me arbitrarily.

Dennis h ,
I find your reply insulting and off topic to say the least.
I simply wanted to see the facts and that was all.
so to understand thats all.
before somebody is trashed.

as far as i know thats not decitfull at all.
sorry to get you upset.
and i realy don't care if you reply to my posts one way or another.
I owe you nothing you are a member of the pack and that must be accounted for also.
good day.







:bolt01: :cool:
 
Perhaps this thread should be locked until Mike wishes to make a statement. At post #64, Wes is directing a member to 'keep it on topic', but the overall quality of the thread is deteriorating now and has little to do with the original subject.

I am not aware of any "lost" posts. If you tried to post while suspended, then it might have been "lost."

mods like this guy stalking me and fining me arbitrarily.
No one stalks you Wes. People report your posts when you get out of line. As I previously stated, in this instance your post was reported THREE times by different members...yet you still want to imply that you're being picked on. That is false. You have consistently and repeatedly demonstrated an inability to post within the rules of the site. YOU are the one who makes the choice to break the rules. No one does it for you.
 
I posted while a member. It's gone. It was YOU who banned me for antagonism to a mod.

YOU.

JUST YOU.

Who reported me? Any of those for whom I am something of a thorn in the side for?

Are YOU furthering personal agendas? Yours or someone elses? Are YOU being manipulated?

There is a thread about YOU and your performance of your duties as a moderator, as you well know, it the feedback forum.

Perhaps we should take this over there as YOU have now made off topic posts in a thread. Will you fine or ban yourself? No? I am not surprised.

Shall we repair to the feedback forum?
 
And the guy that runs this Forum wonders whats wrong with it!!! This place is worse then a old folks home!!! Stop bitchen and mind your own Business People!!

You're right. Wes is getting off topic. However, I prefer to not lock threads unless absolutely necessary. This topic is an important one to quite a few people, and it's not fair to them to lock it just because one person is trying to create a problem.

Wes,

You are not being stalked by a moderator at all. Matter of fact, I think Jay has been putting more hours in here then any of the other two mods combined. A few people have taken it upon themselves to be very vigilant about reporting posts, so we are getting a LOT of them lately. It seems that many of yours are the ones we are being asked to take a look at. Based on my stated goals to clean up this place, I am encouraged that he is helping me as much as he is. As far as arbitrary fines, sorry, but that just is not the case at all. If I had read the reported posts first and gotten to them, the exact same thing would have happened.

If you choose to withdraw from the BOI Good Buy Certification program, simply send me an email requesting such action and it will be done.

Personally Wes, unless you can convince yourself to settle down and get with the program here, you are about to be permanently banned from this site. Consider yourself warned. I know you greatly resent the fact that I am tightening the reins here, but you can either accept it and adapt, or leave, either forcibly or voluntarily. There are no other choices available to you.

Wes, just for the record, the only person on this site who can actually physically delete a message is me. The mods can only do soft deletes, which leaves a record for me to be able to view, if necessary. Quite frankly, my suspicion is that you fumble fingered it and lost the post yourself. Certainly it has happened to me now and again.

But in any event you have been fined and suspended again. This is the last call for you. The next one is permanent.
 
There are always choices availble rich.

I do not agree with you on this one.

Whether or not you agree with me is of no relevance.

I have ALWAYS done what I, just me, thought was right. That's what I'm doing now.

If you guys don't like it, then we must simply disagree.

You like vanilla, I like chocolate chip, I have NO clue what owens likes, nor do I care.

Make your choices rich, I've made mine.

owens is NOT what a moderator should be. Period.
 
Wilomn said:

There is a record of all posts that are deleted. Rich can look and see that none of your posts have been deleted.

It was YOU who banned me for antagonism to a mod.

YOU.

JUST YOU.
And it was YOU who chose to become antagonistic when I enforced the rules of this site.

Who reported me? Any of those for whom I am something of a thorn in the side for?
I don't know, nor do I care who you have personal issues with on this site. People who report posts do so with relative annonymity. I'm not going to give you a list of people for you "go after."

Are YOU furthering personal agendas? Yours or someone elses? Are YOU being manipulated?
No. I'm not being manipulated. I am enforcing the rules that you broke. Once again, follow the rules, and you won't get warning points.


Perhaps we should take this over there as YOU have now made off topic posts in a thread. Will you fine or ban yourself? No? I am not surprised.
I am responding to you (who is the one posting off topic) as a moderator. Dealing with a problem is not posting off topic.

Shall we repair to the feedback forum?
Wes, I am getting tired of your antagonism simply because you break the rules and it's my job to enforce them. My job would be a lot easier without people like yourself who display a flagrant disregard for the rules of this site.
