    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.....

    =====================


    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....

Obviously you need to list all of the sites listed on FaunaTopSites as well. And how many registered members are there here in FaunaClassifieds right now?

It may be easier to list everyone that is NOT being boycotted! :laugh:
 
Hmmmm, that is true. And I suppose you'd have to include all the members of those sites as well as they have a direct impact on the amount of support Fauna recieves.

Well rather than list all 410 FaunaTopSite members, let me just provide a link ;) http://www.faunatopsites.com/index.html

Remember people, its the members of these sites that influence how much support Fauna recieves by among other things the number of views of the FaunaTopSite image.

When deciding who to buy from, be sure to reference the membership lists at the following sites:

ReptiBid
sSNAKESs
TurtleTimes
Redtailboa
The Boaphile Forums
Reptile Forums
Gecko Island

And so on.....

This is fun :D



Wonder how many of these people would be interested in TShirts proudly declaring themselves among the boycotted? ;)
 
Think again! If the boycott extends to people that harbor and support my business, then it extends to kingsnake! I'm a sponsor over there.

I'm also friendly with moderators as well.


Start boycotting kingsnake fellas!
 
I don't know if he's extended it that far, but if he has, let's go ahead and include friends of the boycotted. Then we'll apply the theory of six degrees of separation and Mario can boycott the entire population of the planet.
:D
 
Well he's boycotting Fauna because they harbor me and my "criminal" activities.

By the same token that should apply to every site that I participate in doesn't ban me on the spot in support of his boycott.

You better start boycotting the more popular IRC servers as well, I've been known to show up and chat with other Fauna members there!


But you're 100% correct Clay, and that's my point. Mario better start boycotting the entire world or rethink his boycott (which even he is not participating in) and just move on.

No one is being hurt that's on the recieving end of Mario's pretend boycott. No one cares beyond the amusement value of it all. No one except Mario and Rakell. It's long past due for them to move on with their lives.
 
Wow.... We're on the list too. We've never even dealt with this guy "Mario"...

Apparently he's a tool... :D
 
I made that list.

Mario is calling for the boycott of Fauna and all its members and supporters.

On Mario's site someone inquired about purchasing from Sundial Reptiles. While he would not comment on the quality of their animals, he flat out said that they support the criminal activity that happens here and thus shouldn't be supported with business.

You can expect the same treatment as an active user of this forum.
 
FANTASTIC!

I always wanted to be the target of a mental degenerates' delusional wrath of stupidity!

My life is now complete, I can die a happy man! :D

Thanks Mario!
 
Hey Steve,

you completely forgot the most important person that Mario should be boycotting...

HIMSELF!!! :wavey:

That's RIGHT Moronio! Everytime you stop by here to check and see what evil deeds the Cult is plotting against you next(by the way, who the HELL are you anyways in the herp world?! I never heard of you or your site before any of the crap posted here and I've spent the better part of the last 10 years working with nothing but geckos), you are supporting the Fauna Cult!!! :idea:

Way to go smart guy. Now you have to go and boycott yourself. Not sure what you'd need to do, but as long as it involves you not ever reproducing, it works for me. :puke:
 
I would caution anyone about visiting Mario's site. The last time I did that from my home computer, he had apparently set it up to recongnize my IP address and bombed with with some malicious code that locked my system up with cascading windows saying something like "You are stupid!". I had to cold boot my system to get it back. Pretty childish behavior. So I would caution everyone that visiting his site may have some risk involved.

Which is probably about the dumbest thing I can think of someone doing running a message board system. Make people reluctant to visit your site because there may be a malicious code bomb waiting for them. Brilliant move, Mario.
 
Every body is on the list

Mario is basically saying everybody that is a Member of fauna
should be boycotted.....that even means all you newbies.[and us oldies]
Man what a way to welcome people to his site with links to a bunch of dribble.
 
I am absolutely making the "Redtailboa.net: Proudly Boycotted by Mario Stinso" T-shirt when I get home... I'll post a link. ;-)

-Morti.
 
If you need a place to get prints made, I know a company MUCH cheaper than cafe press. more flexible and better quality as well.

I think my new passion in the industry is going to be marketing "I'm boycotted by Mario Stinso" products. So if you do a design and legitimately want it printed, send me an email. I'll do all the easy work of handling finances and give you an agreed upon cut of the profits (although i would like to sell shirts close to cost + donation to PIJAC or other organizations)
 
Ok, so we want an 'I'm Boycotted' design as well as a 'Join the Cult' design? Or maybe the front would just say 'I'm boycotted'... yeah!

Erin B.
 
Now what have I done...

Rob, I have never really heard of him or his site either but we seem to be on the list as well. I thought for a second it maybe due to my own forums that may cause competition to him, but we only have a handful of members and it's usually very quiet there. I have worked almost exclusively with geckos as well, and have never utilized his site for anything or bought from him, and once again never heard of him.

Steven, Does this Mario or Luigi character actually have our business names located in public veiw on the Internet as 'banned' for association of criminal activity?

Sounds like people with too much time on thier hands........
