    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....

oh hell, everyone! j/k

likie i said, your statements regarding "stalking" that you make when people actually have real criticism for you basically tick alot of people off. myself included. especially when you resort to those statements and dramatize things rather than simply discuss topics or statements at hand. I see you can do it now, but what about in the future?

i did not target you because i am part of some group, fad, or clique....

I said what i said because what you were doing was wrong, and when people make criticisms, or anything for that matter, you've spent the past few weeks ignoring everything and making paranoid delusional statements regarding stalking to them rather than have a simple discussion like you and I are having now.....

it gets old quick, and only makes things worse for yourself.

and yes, people have a right to be ticked off. you dont need to feed into it, and you also dont need to continue with the assumption people are stalking you. they may however target you because of this previous assumption, just keep on the straight and narrow, lend an ear to criticism, and try to keep cool. ranting and raving are only going to make folks "stalk" you like you are trying to avoid lol

If i am wrong please let me know
Actually i think there are posts on this thread that support my Theory

Do you think i should subscibe to hell?
 
I have been sitting back and reading this thread and wondering when and if I should say anything or hold my tongue. I am glad to see everyone is being civil (might be a different case in hell) and trying to get things straightened out.

P.s. Looks like a family renunion here!!!

Hey Nick Its been a while
Did you see my new classified?;)
How do you like being a mod over there?
 
:rofl: Nick I was thinking the same thing,about family reunion,But on another note if I need to laugh I just read Mr.Dynes posts about how everyone is out to get him :hehe: IMHO he's out to get himself,and if he's giving away sub-par animals why would he think he would get a GG post ??? the people who are getting them are just happy to save the animals life. :)
 
someone stating that they think stipulating a required good guy post as part as a contest may be in bad taste is not an attack.

in fact, anyone questioning or criticising anything is just that....... a question or criticism.

granted everyone went back and forth for a while, and in fact, i do not even remember why, nor do I care.

since then however whenever someone says something to you in disagreement or questions the slightest thing, you have accused them of stalking..

there is a big difference Dennis. just know that it takes time for things to calm down, and you can expect "excess" criticism after such a time......

just roll with it and dont blow it out of proportion. and dont get paranoid either :)

ill be the first to admit listening to you state you were being stalked every time someone questioned something you stated was driving me up a wall, especially when you kept doing it over and over again when folks were trying to get through to you. hell.... at that point had you been here I probably would have had to fight an urge to bang your head off a wall a few times until you listened to reason and stopped going on about attacks and stalking LOL

These same people may be people you have had run-in's with in the past, but its cooincidence. nothing more. and after such a run in, it does not go away overnight.

again, keep things on topic whenever possible and dont assume everyone is out to get you. it is obvious you have a few things here and there to learn and there are people around here who happen to know a bit about how things go in the biz. i'd rather keep an open ear and mind personally if it were me.

Dude why dont you go and use someone else's post to get back in with the Gang

who? Clearwater_Reptiles? LOL :rofl:
 
When you run the site that may be an option but you dont so.... :rofl: but in all seriousness keep up the laughs :)
 
Don't worry, the only gang he is part of is in his head.

moving on.................
 
No i havent seen your classsified yet. I will jump over there and look at it now. And let you know what i think.

As for the other thing (MOD-question), it would be in bad taste and disrespectful to Rich for me to talk about that on his forum so i will refrain from comment. Rich I am sure would prefer it that way.

I have been in this business a long time and have a good amount of Trader feedback here and not once have i even mentioned a GG thread to any of the people I have dealt with. People do business with me because they know i am honest and good for my word. If you keep to your word, treat people right, only deal with healthy animals then you will eventually get where you are trying to get to the quick way. A good guy reputation doesnt happen over night it accumulates over time with hard work and good ethics, But a bad guy reputation can certainly happen overnight as we all known and seen. The moral of the story is "good things take time, bad things happen in the blink of an eye!!"
 
Chris that is true I'm not part of the gang and don't think I ever really wanted to be :) But even with that being said I still have a voice and I will use it and if nobody hears it so be it, no disrespect intendeded to anyone
 
there is no "gang".... atleast none that I signed up for willingly... lol

thats nice, no offence taken.

LOL...
I have been around enough to see the big picture here
I would like you to post for EVERYONE where I have been running around saying i am being stalked... :rofl:
Where do you get your information...LMAO
If you are talking about Dand getting suspended for stalking me i had nothing to do with that it was posted and moved to hell before i even knew about it
Why are my EARS ringing?;)
I thought i was doing a good thing in giving away snakes , But i guess i was mistaken
The truth is a game is being played here by some
And its an Insult to alot of people intellegence not just mine
 
"And the more and more the Hell Club follows people around Harassing them the more Childish others perceive them to be
You dont have to admit this to me or even on this forum but i hope you can be mature enough to admit it to yourselves
You may just be hurting your business
You cannot hurt anyone with your twisting of anyones WORDS
So please quit insulting EVERYONES intelligence and LET IT GO!"

Simple example, your comments above made in this very thread to the very same people telling you what I have been telling you, regarding the stipulations, etc.

You always run on and one about attacks, harrassment, etc.

Give it a rest bud, like I said. People are critisicing you, not harassing you. Instead of dicussing things like we have been in recent posts civily you were previously assuming everything said was some sort of attack. Of course I can only speak for myself, but I do see this behavior from you whenever you are questioned or criticized by anyone in this "group" you have identified. Sometimes more than other times, but even if someone WAS harassing you, let the mods deal with it. Crying about it does not help either, I can honestly say it makes you look like you'[re ten years old. Kinda silly :(
 
oh yes, and the "EVERYONE" comments.... you can stop those too. I'm not trying to be mean here, but the general concencus is the same. And its not in your favor.

Like the "insulting everyones intelligence" comment, EVERYONE is not finding any of these comments as an insult to their intelligence. if anyone is finding it an insult to their intelligence, its you. Therefore the correct terminology would be "MY", not everyone. if they did, im sure they would voice it themselves rather than have you do it for them. hopefully you're getting the gist of this.

If it were EVERYONE, we would be flooded with people here agreeing with you in these types of threads, unfortunately I have not seen a one.

Again, Im glad we can talk civily, I hope you can move past these matters, drop a bit of the paranoia, and move onto your goal of becoming a "good guy" and crawl up from that bad rep you took on in your earlier posts here... ttyl
 
also, i have not been able to locate your classified ad, link?
 
O.K. i lost the word twisting game...lol...Even though you said last few weeks;)
Anyway If making a bad guy thread just because someone doesnt like me and getting suspended for stalking Isnt stalking then hey i dont know what it is
I dont know anything about strategy or tactics
But you dont see me harassing others for something that doesnt affect me
I dont feel the need to threaten people because i dont like them nor do i feel the need to comment on their children
But i guess some have different veiws than i do
See I would like to put all of this behind us and carry on with other matters
Criticism is welcome but Not Harassment
 
Dennis, you are still not getting it. You are ignoring a common sense view of what you are doing and, like many of your detractors, choosing to play a "lawyered up" argument. Anyone with common sense can see through all of these lawyered up arguments, and they are insulting to everyone's intelligence. (And not just yours, ALL of them.)

Anyway, you asked if giving something away makes you a good guy. IMO the question is not that simple.

If I spend 2,000 hours a year in the office working for free, because I believe in what that company is doing, and want to make a company succeed, that would make me a good guy.

If I spend 2,000 hours a year in the office working, and I do it because I expect a paycheck for doing so, it does not make me a good guy... it makes me an employee.

By the same token, if you are giving away free stuff because you think the end result is that it will earn you a reputation as a good guy, that disqualifies the action as "good."

Good actions are things that one does for the sake of good, not because they think they will get a reward for it.

Yes, good people will do good things for rewards. But bad people will do good things for rewards, too. This is not an adequate way to delineate between good and bad. :scatter:
