    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....

Personly I think that its their choice to do that.
I wouldnt buy one and I dont agree with it but I dont think that makes their snakes worth anyless and I dont think anyone has the right to tell them what to do. I mean for christ sakes look what all the hot keepers already have to deal with. Hot or not its their choice. Isnt useing someones pictures without permission against the law? I dont really know just curious your not saying its your but still. No Offense Please. Just my thoughts.
 
David,

Do you want to give us some context on these photos?

And yes, they are copyright and since you copied them without permission that is a no-no.
 
Don't quote me, because I'm not 100% sure, but I think I heard/read that all of NERD's void are/were rescues.
 
Yes, I second that. Context please!
So far you have stated you’re a picture thief. Now prove your statement that they support Voids and the context of the pictures you have stolen.

Thanks in advance.
 
Oh, I see! You rated NERD negative on the Good Guy Certification.
So you’re playing games. Well if you had a bad experience with them post it on the BOI, instead of acting like a coward!
 
I personally think it is a no-no to handle voids in such a way, many others think that to. I didn't copy the photos someone else did and I just posted them here. Even a void has the possibility of regeneration of their glands and can still deliever a naty bite wheter its venomous or not. More can be found at http://thereptileroom.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=3199&st=0&#entry30590
 
David:
We all have our opinions on voids. Myself, I am against them. HOWEVER, you reprinted pix that were removed from a site without permission, and admit to it; that is not a good thing to do. Further, we have no context to form an opinion. Even the folks who are anti void will by and large find a place in their heart to accept one in a rescue circumstance.
 
I understand, but I am in no way a thief, I have plenty of my own photos to represent my animals. I felt this should be brought to attention here and I posted them here. I have very strong opinions about Voids and showing them at party is NOT a safe thing to do at all, it will only bring on worse things for hot keepers. I accept anyones opinions but this is just asking for trouble IMO.
 
BTW Dennis, sorry I missed your post... I am NOT playing games. I DO feel they are worthy of at least 1 "Bad Guy" mark under the circumstances. Also I don't take well to being call a coward, you may do so by email but in the context I get from your post I feel you are being incredibly rude, again JMO. go ahead correct if I am wrong really I hope I am because I would expect more of a better demeanor of you from reading your posts.

The "Good Guy Certification forum" is usually for people who have done business with each person listed there. When I had seen that you posted a negative there, I assumed that you actually have done a transaction with them. If not, then my mistake.

I personally have the same opinion as you when it comes to Voids and have posted such many times. I still wanted to know the context and it appeared that you were posting this thread as a result of a bad transaction with NERD. Which if true, would be cowardly thing.

I have never done a transaction with NERD, sorry if it seemed that way. I do not know the context in which they were originally posted as I do not have membership to their forum on their website, if you are interested why not go and look. I don't plan on doing so myself. I am sorry I misused the "Good Guy Certification Forum" if you feel the need and can go ahead and remove that point. I am sure all that needs to be said has been done so in these photos. I also admit I should have just posted a link, but again links get old and seem to have ways of disappearing.
 
Perhaps if YOU do not even know the context in which they were originally posted, it wasn't such a good idea to post them here and add your own thoughts to them......which COULD be far from the truth.

I have strong feelings against voids myself, but I don't think I would have made a post like this without knowing for CERTAIN what those pictures were all about.

Don't you think it is up to YOU to prove your claims? You come on here and accuse people of very specific things but have no proof of those things, only assumptions, and then tell other people to go and find out for themselves whether you assumptions and accusations are true?

In the future you should really try to get the details and facts BEFORE you accuse people of things.
 
David,

Let me tell you what I see and what I surmise from this. I see a bunch of people handled what appear to be venomoids. Two of them are wearing NERD t-shirts which are available to the general public for sale at http://www.newenglandreptile.com/nerdwear.html.

For reference, the front of the t-shirt is http://www.newenglandreptile.com/nerdstuff/shirt_front.jpg and the back is http://www.newenglandreptile.com/nerdstuff/shirt_back.jpg.

Without context, that is ALL that I see. Oh, and I see 16yo a poo slinger of a kid who openly states

Membership there is free. Perhaps you should have signed up and made certain that you knew what you were talking about before potentially exposing yourself and your parents (yes David, they are civilly liable for your libel, if this is libel -- which I suspect) to a lawsuit.

Also you are admitting to using stolen pictures. All around, you are the one with the big thumbs down. Oh, and by the way, if you were a man, and maybe someday you will be one, you would have informed them in advance of this post.
 
Jim O, I am well aware of the liabilitys and such, but thanks for trying to educate me. As for the name calling I do not believe we need that, I have not done name calling I just gave my OPINION. As for the context, its was show for a fmaily that NERD did for them, they do shows you know ;).
 
Hm, there's something I never thought of.....so, if you have never even been to the site, (you said someone else sent you the pics, I believe), how do you even know for certain they are on the site? I mean....like Jim said, ANYONE can buy a NERD TShirt.....

Wow......you parents are going to be ticked if they get sued over your lack of judgement in flying off the handle and starting this whole thread.
 
I don't want to give the appearance that I'm taking sides here, but I have to admit that I am personally a little confused by all of this. First of all, let's remember that David is only 16 so I think he is still at an age where he deserves a little leniency regarding the appropriateness of his post.

Second of all, I admit that I'm a little curious as to why it's wrong for him to have reposted these pictures. He did give credit as to where they came from, and I've seen a number of other posts here where people have copied a picture, whether it be from a questionable classified ad or another website.

To be honest, I don't know 100% about what's legally right and wrong when it comes to pictures on the internet, so if someone could provide some clarification I would greatly appreciate it. I understand that it's wrong to take credit for someone else's pictures, but I don't see David doing that here.

Like I said, I'm not taking sides. But like others have said in another recent thread regarding a minor, let's teach him what's right and wrong before we jump to criticism.

Thanks.

That is your statement presented as a fact. Not stated as an opinion. You need to back up your statement.
