    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....

Reptster.com experience with show sponsorship not good

If my Mom short changes the lady at the register and then the lady at the register points it out to her and offers solid proof that my Mom short changed her and my Mom then says she has new evidence that proves she did not short change her and then instead of producing that evidence she simply calls the lady at the register a liar and runs out the door saying she won't be back.....then yes, in that instance my Mom would be an incontovertible idiot

As to your opinion, read my signature

suncoast your signature means nothing.. I don't care if anyone doesn't agree with me. I don't make decisions based on what popular.. Thats easy to do.. I make decisions on what I believe. I don't care if all of those who post think i'm wrong.. Just say it without childish ass names that byronsboas chooses to use or the look at my quote suncoast uses..
byron I can type what I want, when you run this site then you can tell me not to post here.. So save thse nonsense about not posting.. If you don't like what I post you can do what you said to me and not post.
 
I wanted to clarify something about our offer about the Supporters page. This is completely separate to our offer to Rich about advertising Fauna, and we still want to do that as well. So Rich, when you get a chance to see this, that offer is still up for you as well, free of charge.

Off to listen to RR for a bit...

Joel I can't fault a man who makes decisions based on what he believes. I can fault a man who makes those decisions based on nothing but his initial belief and pays no attention to the facts and evidence presented after that decision is made. Conviction is great...blind conviction is not. Making a decision and sticking to it regardless of the evidence presented is not noble....it's ignorant.

Enjoy your squeaky wheel rebel status in life...it apparently means a lot to you.

I really and truly have nothing more to say to you.
 
one could only hope. Here is an idea if you don't agree with how people sling names at each other you don't have to read them. But that would just make sense wouldn't it

Well by looking at your last name I dont need to say more..

So, do you have a problem with someone with a last name like "Zalewski", Mr. Bigot? Do you have even the slightest clue whose sandbox you are playing in here? :reddevil:

See how it can degenerate.
I know if you don't like the childish behaviour then dont look..
Suncoast if your mom short changes the person at the register and calls your mom an idiot I guess it's the truth so no need to respond right.. Yea i thought so..
If I get banned then I get banned.. Because i don't agree with the click doesn't make me wrong it' just means i have my own opinion.. As I've said before i don't care if either of the people involved fail or succeed.
It's the name calling and then trying to justify it.
The sad part of this is they both could've been successful and an asset to the reptile trade.
It would be interesting to see how good this site would be if those who call names were banned. I bet it would quickly put an end to it..
Ok back to your name calling gotta see the end of the LSU game haha..

Sorry bub, you don't make the rules here and NEVER will. I have a WHOLE lot more issues about someone spouting off comments laced with bigotry such as you are then someone calling others names. And if you continue trying to derail this thread with such comments about how this site should be run in order to please you rather than keeping on topic, you just might get your wish about being banned.

Where did I say not to post? Do your reading comprehension skills suck so bad that you got " Do not post " out of what I said?

If you have it in your mind the BOI is full of unruly childish adults that won't give both parties a fair shake , then why are you here? I haven't seen you once bring anything thought provoking to the table. Have you helped anyone get their money or animals back in a bad deal? Or do you sit and wait to root for the bad guys? Just curious.

You've spent a couple posts here complaining about name calling so I asked perfectly good questions based on your posts in this thread and a few others I've taken the time to read. I did not state " Do not post " so leave that victim crap at the door. If you can't man up to answer the questions , don't put yourself in a position to get asked.

The decision each individual made is not by popular choice. It was informed decisions by each individual based on what both parties brought to the table. David brought little to nothing for his side and come up looking like a deadbeat liar that made it quite clear he was not going to pay any debt owed that he agreed to incur while making a feeble attempt to discredit the OP just because she was new at show promoting. Even alluding to her possibly doing some things illegally. Yeah , that just reeks of ethics and professionalism.:rolleyes:

Just because a number of people here were able to see the same thing in no way dictates it was a popularity vote made by sheep. The smokescreen was thin and David came to a gunfight armed with a butter knife. The folks who made the decision to severe ties with Reptster did so by being able to comprehend what they read and having a higher standard for morals and ethics.

Folks that come here and start talking about popular votes and what not are generally those that have weak arguments , thin skin or haven't grown up enough to play in the big kids sand box. Last I checked , the BOI is pretty much sugar coated free. If your going to stick around get used to it or crawl back under the porch with the puppies.

Good job going after somebody's ethnic background with that " looking at your last name " comment. Truly classless in comparison to your whining about name calling.
 
This is what I'm talking about. bryansboas has to say something stupid instead of agreeing to disaggree.. Not once did I call anyone a nmae yet peopel contimue to make 1st grade comments about wearing waders and they can continue to do so and not a single moderator will say anything.
Buy every table at their show it's your right as it's mine not to deal with either of these people.
But grow up and stop with the name calling. Maybe one of the mods who see these nonsense will wake up and maybe suspend people who choose to call names and act like kids.. Doubtful but you never know ( watch I'llbe the one banned lmao)..

Well by looking at your last name I dont need to say more..

Rich replied while I was typing up this post and then I was sidetracked but I’ll put it out there anyway. A shorter version of my original.

Maybe, if you are going to continually try and antagonize the moderators. Look, I may not agree with what a member posts every time but there are some lines you just don’t cross on this site.
Racist/bigoted comments aren’t allowed. Period! It happens again, your gone.

Yes, we give people a lot of room when it comes to expressing themselves. If they cross the line they receive communication from the moderators in one form or another. Most of which, other members don’t see. Yes, some posts go over the line and there are a few members on final notice, with regards to the way they express themselves.

This site has always been tolerant of criticism. Try going to KS or any other forum and continually degrade the member base and the site and see how long you and your posts last. Rich has put up with far to many people coming here and using the resources of this site then being degraded right here in his backyard.

Many that become subjects of a thread that isn’t flattering to them start on this bandwagon. Instead of taking issue with the member and the posts they disagree with, they start trying to discredit the site.
Of course, when they have a problem or need to research someone else they are using the resources here.

Enough already! If you have problem with what someone has posted address the post and the one making the statements. If they have violated a rule, report it and let the moderators address it. If you can't handle it leave. There are a few people hanging around that just can't seem to go very long without throwing stones at the site in general.

The moderators will not tolerate derogatory comments in regards to performing their duties. I don’t see why Rich should tolerate the degrading of him or Fauna.

This site is here for the community’s benefit. All members have the freedom to have their voices heard (without profanity)on issues pertaining to our hobby. Agree or disagree with what is posted. Use it, but don’t expect anyone contributing to this site sit here and let David or anybody else devalue, degrade it without some sort of backlash. Have some respect for the site that is allowing you to voice your opinion.
 
Well, donations,hurting Reptster and all this free advertising.Makes me wonder if this wasn,t the plan all along.Very smart, I wish I would have thought of a way to generate monies from the B.O.I.

I get the feeling that you are being resentful Terry.
Just a thought I had. Surely your not bitter?

No plan here, it was a heartfelt reaching out to try to help, even in a small way, someone who counted on a sponsorship for her show which did not materialize. To discount those efforts to help seems ugly and narrowminded.

No one is hurting Reptster. Reptster hurt itself by the comments made by David. To attribute his failings to some amorphous malevolent plan is laughable. Heck, Fauna is such a collection of individualists that getting a plan like you fantasized orchestrated and accomplished is beyong the realms of possibility. Face it. David didn't face a valid issue presented to him here :thumbsup:and not only showed poor judgment in ignoring that issue, he also insulted the BOI.

People have reviewed his behavior and are making the business choices they are entitled to in this land of free enterprise by saying 'no' to that kind of behavior.

And the donations, the reaching out to help? That is the good people of this strong community helping others in times of need.
I wish Kelly the very best in her show, and she is working like the winner she is by overcoming the obstacle that the pulled sponsorship presented.

Terry,

I have nothing against you, not like in:

Kelly I have nothing agianst you,I do think bringing another business to the B.O.I was a mistake.

but in like: "in all honestly I have nothing against you" ;)

But when you say:

Let this go and go back to work on your show,you can not afford negative exposure.

You feel this post in the BOI was negative exposure that can't be afforded but nevertheless you think it was a very smart move due to free advertising? :shrug01:
 
PHEW! It's taken me over 2 hours to read this whole thread. All I can say is I have yet to purchase any snakes online but when I do I will be sure to purchase from someone who does NOT use Repster for shipping. As was posted earlier Repster hasn't been around very long at all and people who shipped prior to them had to become certified, what's the big deal about getting certified now?

Kelly and Matthew, I wish you all the luck with your show in Oct. If I lived closer I most certainly would be attending.
 
I don't know Kelly, and I have no idea if her show will be good, bad, or indifferent. That depends on her efforts, abilities, and the markeplace she is working in. I would just like to see her get the best chance to start off "on the right foot". After that, it is up to her whether she succeeds or fails.

I am unlikely to ever be able to participate in a show in her area (unless it turns into a really huge show), but I am willing to spend a few $$$ advertising to help kick start it. That certainly won't be as much effort as I put into promoting Reptster in the past, but maybe it will help just a little.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

So how did we convince Mr. Young to help us with this plan?

To address your first sentence, all of that was a direct result of David's own actions. To address your second, keep wondering, you haven't got it right yet. To address the third, I don't think you think.

My work boots have a gum covered penny stuck in the treads. You are more than welcome to it.
