    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....

Public apology from Adam Quagliata

Canyon State said:
And the reason why the 88 is gone is becuase I wouldnt be allowed back on the site with it.


Thank you

take care guys

Somehow I doubt this is true. Rich seems to favor givig folks just as much rope as they like so long as it's themselves they're hanging.

Rich, is this true? Would you NOT allow him on because of the 88?

adam, what did you ship to pete?
How did you ship what you shipped?

Sorry, but that is NOT true. You re-registered with a new name after you had paid your fine, and in fact were causing problems with your new login name bypassing what you had earned using your old one. I changed the login name to HELP you get your ducks in a row, and help US see what row your ducks were in. At absolutely no time did I say you could not use that old name. Matter of fact, except in rather extreme cases, I really don't care what anyone uses as a logon name here. That is yet another choice that reflects on the kind of person they really are.

So, YES or NO. Do you want your old name of "88reptiles" back?
 
It is just me or does he seem to be a pathologic lier?
Don't they have pills for that or something??

even if you do not answer i am sure state and federal investigators can get your shipping info from DHL if warranted... all they need is find a shipment from you to pete on a certain day and come here and look at the info posted and tie it together... it's not real hard



Federal Investigators?

oooooook!!!

This is my last post in here.

So keep asking questions, but you will get no further responses.


Thank you all

Take care

Ok one last post sorry webslave I was under the impression that 88reptiles wouldnt be allowed. No I dont want it back.

Sorry mt fault!
 
yes federal since the packagd crossed state lines, that is interstae comerce, in which you clearly violated the lacy act. in sending a venomous animal from one state to another..... not marked, packaged or shipped in the correct manner... PLUS not to mention any city county and state laws you might have broken as well ... plus the whole nazi skinhead thing, affiliates and what not... you either are or could be in a load of trouble. they take hate crimes and members of racists organization VERY seriously
 
aaaaaadddddaaaaaaammmmmmmm ooohhhhhh aaaaaaaddddddaaaaaammmmmm, why do you ignore me so? Or did you just miss my post earlier? They were going up pretty quick for a while there.

Won't you please answer my questions. A real man would. You should. Unless what is written below is true. Now it's up to you. Whatcha gonna do? Run away like a scared little boy or take responsibility for your actions?


wilomn said:
adam, I have a real strong suspiscion that you traded pete some non-native venomous snake(s) and really think that hiding behind the pitiful excuse that pete doesn't want you to tell is pathetic.

pete doesn't want you to post what you sent because he knows now, as he most likely new then, that whatever you sent was NOT legal here in Ca.

I guess I really shouldn't be surprised that you wimped out though. Afterall you're all by your lonesome here, no gang to back you up. Heck, you didn't even have the testicular fortitude (thank you gromph) to stand up for what you believe in. You're such a wuss you took the 88 off your name. Bet your skinhead homeys don't know you did that.

If, adam, you ever grow a backbone and have those nuts actually drop, come on back and tell the WHOLE truth. What did you ship? How did you ship it? Where did you ship to? Those three questions need answers. But, it would take a man to own up to that and you just DON'T make the cut, do you, boy?

Time will tell.
 
... plus the whole nazi skinhead thing, affiliates and what not... you either are or could be in a load of trouble. they take hate crimes and members of racists organization VERY seriously
the hate crime was not intended directly to you but if you are tied to any organizations that do or have comitted them... doesnt really matter whether you are the "nice nazi/aryan skinhead" or the bad one, its guilt by association... i am not implying you have done anything or are affiliated with any groups but it would be best to remove any ties, if so
 
Play time?

Gosh, for a minute there I sort of felt left out, no personal appology or anything
and THEN I realized that this wasn't good ol' petey from beyond the web. They've both lied
sooooooo much I didn't realize who was writing.

Cut the crap "boy," FYI the name is Peter. I've got one last nerve, and you're getting it.
I've seen your type before, lurking around for your next gutless insult. So Keep talking,
someday you'll say something intelligent!

Well adam, 88 or no you're still not going to be getting any business from a lot of folks and not so much because of what you believe, though that's a big part of it, but how put your beliefs out there. Talk about being a dick.
It's a shame the mods condone such use of language, well, I'm sure your "Contributor Shield"
remains in tact, the mods must have no other choice but to allow such obsceneties from what
I call filth. A sharp tongue is no indication of a keen mind.

Now adam, what have YOU done about your situation with pete and the sidewinder you got from him? Does law enforcement on your end know, from you not anyone else, that you broke some laws? If not, why whatever happened to making things right? Do you think your reputation will improve and folks will like you better for trying to ignore the fact that you broke some serious laws?
Make somebody happy. Mind your own business. Or do what you did before, call the dept. yourself,
no one's stopping you from doing so. You seem to be a total waste of human flesh, what's your occupation, really?
Because by what I've read and all the questions you continue to ask about something that is
completely none of your business you're just a COP-WANNA-BE. Oh wait, you must just sit at home
and collect some kind of government check, considering the incredible amount of time on your hands
and in this forum - you must envy yourself, and for that I pity you.

Oh, and if you get mad at me I'm cool with that, have at it. If you decide you or some of your friends need to meet me, that's cool too but, you'll have to take a number as there are several other bad guys out there who have already taken a number.
Ok "tough guy," you know where I live. How about you share a little piece of information with me?
We can arrange for a personal meeting, unless of course, you're gonna hide behind that screen.
We don't live very far from each other, boy, and I will be in the vicinity this month. I'll
even grant you the privilege of choosing the location. Since you're such a "tough" guy,
and you're making your offering to Adam from Arizona I highly doubt he'll waste his time
coming to Cali. He's already wasted his money on this site... could've used it for something
useful.

Here's a little gem that you probably won't understand or appreciate but I'll take the chance- silence is golden.
Again, a person of your intelligence (or lack thereof) should take their own advice. Diarrhea of the mouth; constipation of the ideas.
In other words, for your comprehension: Shut up for once, says it best.

I guess I really shouldn't be surprised that you wimped out though. Afterall you're all by your lonesome here, no gang to back you up. Heck, you didn't even have the testicular fortitude (thank you gromph) to stand up for what you believe in. You're such a wuss you took the 88 off your name. Bet your skinhead homeys don't know you did that.
Actually, Webslave omitted the 88. And you say "wuss?" Hmm, let's see... you offered yourself with Adam's little buddies from Arizona, and you live in L.A., who's the real wuss?

But, it would take a man to own up to that and you just DON'T make the cut, do you, boy?
Talk is cheap, Wuss boy, and so are you. Oh and If I said anything to you that I should be sorry for, I'm glad. If I wanted to hear from an ass, I'd fart.
You're the best at all you do - bitch, groan and moan.
 
Hey Pete,

You just visited this thread yet you choose to not reply to one of the questions at hand about what snake you received from Adam and how it was shipped to you. You just made a quick drive by and shot off your mouth and split. Sounds a little cowardly to me. Why don't you cut your crap, come clean (for the forth or fifth time) and try to become a man.
 
regarding Pete and Adam

I know I said I wouldn't post anything here, but:

This sort of barking is going to go nowhere. Neither one is ever going to admit to anything, or offer anything concrete.
Unfortunately, both seem to have tarnished or trashed their reputations in the meantime...and the attitude that "this board doesn't matter" is just a denial of something they don't like, and are perhaps intimidated by.

Threats do not belong on the board, from either side...please use PM's if you need to post such rhetoric.

I hope both of them work out their legal troubles, which appear to be growing, unfortunately.

Agreed. This thread has degenerated to the point that there is very likely nothing more to be gained. Here we have one person who is running desperation plays to save a business that he managed to drive into the ditch and another trying desperately to avoid prosecution. Neither appear to have really mended their ways, or have any intentions to do so. They appear to me now to be saying whatever they need to to get the "monkey" off their backs. Neither are being forthcoming in the least now. It has now gotten to the point of making personal threats and posturing and just completely avoiding the subject. I think if the thread continues, it needs to continue in such a manner as to completely avoid that sort of rhetoric...just stick doggedly to the questions that need to be answered and ignore any little personal barbs that are intended to sidetrack the conversation. Just my opinion....
 
I think this, and the posts associated with it, are shining examples of exactly why things WORK on this site.

There is a spectrum of good/bad guys out there:

GOOD guys
Clueless people who WILL become Good guys given enough direction
Clueless people who WILL Choose the Bad Guy Path regardless of direction
BAD guys.

Frequently the people who first come to this site, or this hobby, are right in the middle... clueless as to the finest points of right and wrong. I do believe that while not necessarily excusable, it happens and I can accept it. I can HOPE they will choose the good guy route.

But in this thread, and these two individuals, that really show how the BOI works. Sure they come in clueless, but instead of choosing honesty, they lie. Once they lie they start to travel down the "Bad Guy" road. They CAN change and do a U-Turn.... but most don't. This is why the people like these shining examples who "repent" are treated with a lot of scepticism: we've seen it before, we've seen it HERE, we'll see it again.

sigh and I had such hopes for at least one of these two characters. But alas, they've been given the rope, and used it appropriately.
 
I agree with Sasheena's last post. I also feel that it is ridiculous to keep asking them over and over to admit to committing major crimes. This is not court, and even in court you can plead the 5th. It is smart not to admit to crimes on a public forum, and really has no relation to wether he has learned his lesson. I don't know if some of you feel that this is some sort of Confessional, but their is no positive outcome to admitting to these crimes and some of you should really get over it. Time will tell how these guys end up doing, and possibly what legal ramifications come from what they have already done. They both obviously have an attitude, and in my opinion, I would not want to conduct business with either of them.

i have been scratching my head as to what adam is apologizing for? being a racist? or shipping a hot via DHL/UPS/FEdex? or both? or are you apologizing for the asinine way you acted before you were fined $40 and banned???
 
They both pretty much have admitted what they have done as far as shipping venomous animal’s illegal. Even if they did not state it out that way. It’s after admissions and apologies that the lies continue. But you have to read in between the lines. I mean the lies.

The whole part about the racism with Adam does come into play when he goes to another board and lies that he has done nothing wrong on this board. He then dares anyone to find anywhere were he has said anything racist.

Adam continued to bash Fauna and this board up until he paid his fine then miraculous the very next day he summits another apology. Adam has lied over and over again and this goes to show what kind of businessperson Adam is.

I am stating this for the people who said his beliefs have nothing to do with him selling his animals. It does, if you tie it all together. It’s the lies. Would you want to buy a snake from a guy who is a liar? I think not.

Tom,
It is not ridicules to keep asking them to admit what they have done when they keep responding back with answers that dodge the questions. The smartest thing they could have done is not responding at all.

After paying his fine Adam could have came back and put up his classifieds and not said anything.

Instead he had to put up that bu**sh** apology. Adam started another thread and everyone who thinks of dealing with him should come and read what type of person he is.

Actually, Dennis...I think he's just practicing to run for president in a few years. :) Don't the crocodile tears and fake apologies and "I have done wrong" remind you of a recent ex-prez?
