    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.

    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....

Chris, you know I have only discussed publicly my opinion of the 2 Corucia. Anything sent private in an email with a concern is not same as making a public claim. I have and never will post anything in a public forum that is heard from someone else. Sending my concerns privately in a private message and saying my concerns over a non-proven is not the same. Chris while we may disagree, you must know that I am respectful of everyone right?

Are you? Does Nick not have the "respectful" right to know that you are forwarding the, as of yet, unfounded claim that he is spreading Crypto into the reptile community? Unless you have facts to support this "rumor", and knowing how damaging that can be to anyone's reputation, shame on you! If you were so concerned about it, why didn't you post your thoughts here? Dont bother answering that. I get it. Trust me.
 
Linda,

The specific quote I picked has you yourself saying something about Nick, not a third party. Stop sending creepy gossip, and stop trying to knife someone in the back and then try to look innocent. The rest of the emails from you were pretty vicious.

I sent message sent to me and said I would never post and discussed my concern. This was only to a moderator that I was letting know there MAY be another person posting and that I would not post. I have never posted publicly and to have a private concern and let a moderator of a forum know that there might be another person with a claim is not the same. Again, this was PRIVATE. And I have never been disrespectful to anyone. It was a 3rd party claim and I said that and also in a Private message. Again, I have only discussed here on this forum about the 2 Corucia.

Lucille I sent an impartial moderator something 3rd party and said it was 3rd party and not for public and only to the moderator... no one else. I was contacted from someone and only let you know that could be other person that might have something to say. As a moderator, I believed that you are impartial and also if sent something in private to a moderator, it would stay private. I told you I only was interested in the truth.... and that I would not post any 3rd party information that I have received.

This is pretty confusing. Which moderator are you speaking of, and was he/she on a different site?
 
Lucille said:
That's actually sort of an ingenious lie. I don't believe for a second that you thought I was a moderator. I am not, and do not pretend to be, I am merely an ordinary member.

Yes I did Lucille. I thought you were the moderator. That is why I sent you those messages to let the moderator know that a 3rd party might be posting. Other than that, I dont know!

Sorry, I just flat do not believe you, particularly with some of the things you said to me that I did find very disrespectful..

Let's just entertain the question you keep ignoring. What is YOUR PROOF that Nick has ever sent an animal out with Crypto? Why mention it secretly behind the scenes? Why not expose the guy publicly that you want to see go down in flames? Funny thing...you and the OP seem to take turns pushing that familiar "woe is me" agenda. Do you wear a skull ring?

Well that is the truth. I did think you were a moderator. I believe I sent you something a long time ago as well... thinking you were a moderator. I believed you were setting the rules etc as we went along in the posts.

I never publicly made any claim of any of Nick's animals. I said 3rd party basically hearsay (in private message/email and YES I did think Lucille was a moderator... call me what you will) and that I would never post, but if other person want to they can. As I said, I did believe Lucille was a moderator. Sent my messages from 3rd party and said I was concerned. And I still wont post any 3rd party rumors. As far as I am concerned, rumors are rumors period. Not for public display... period.
 
I do not believe you, but nice try.

And are you saying you send gossip and rumors around to moderators? It must be a full time job for you.

OMG! Please stop calling me a liar. I thought you were a moderator.... just one moderator that I sent to. I was just informed that moderator are in blue. Again, privately in private fauna message and in email. I have never said anything in public about any other of Nick's reptiles.... only the 2 that I saw posted... the Corucica. I dont post here in forum very often. I would like to think that I am smart, but evidently not because I did believe you were a moderator. Again, anything that I forwarded to what I believed was a moderator of this forum was private 3rd party rumor that has yet to be proven. I will never post anything about anyone in public forum that is rumor. Geeeesh.... can you please think for a minute that someone that does not post here often has made a mistake in thinking you were a moderator? I now know moderators are in blue. Thanks

But you have no problem talking trash about someone in private with no proof

Then you should have never mentioned it. You are now in violation of one of the biggest BOI rules ... third party quotation. It appears you said that to "shock" the readers and to portray Nick as the absolute worst seller in the world, therefore garnering the reader to be on your side. The worst part of this, it wasn't needed to prove your case, the skinks are in terrible condition. All it did was make you look petty and childish, repeating hearsay as fact, trying to smear the sellers name further. Without actual proof, you should never mention any serious claim.

Did you not get a receipt from the vet when you paid? Please don't copy and paste your previous answer, I am not asking for a vet report at this time. Continuing g to evade that question doesn't look good on your part.

I know nothing of MTS, so I cannot say if those are underweight, but the condition of the skin is horrifying. This post would be so much shorter had you left out the crypto and focused squarely on the skinks and answering all questions without evasion would also have been prudent.

I make no claims except what i received from nick. Thats been addressed.

This is a lie.
I refer you to the quoted portion from your first post.

other issues, are that he has supposedly been informed of possible crypto in his animals and that another fb member has had to destroy her collection, or most of it due to receiving animals from nick

You started your BOI post with third party quotations, with no proof of your claims, just Facebook rumors. As I said before, it wasn't needed and muddied the waters.
