    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....

Later hater? You sound more like a master baiter.

Can't we all just stop now?

I've learned much from this thread and it's useful life has passed.
 
God Bless the good ole US of A! I'm sure David voted for Obama..... the big dummy....... I mean the short dummy

I voted for Obama as well... and I have a few thousand posts here too. Most of them were not made in the BOI that I can recall, but rather in the discussion forums, where I participated in many ways. How many posts someone does or does not have has absolutely nothing to do with their character, their morals, or their life in general.

These last few posts of yours have totally made see you in a different light, and it isn't a good one. You are being unprofessional and making the kinds of comments that only come from people that I want nothing to do with, businesswise or otherwise. Next time people ask where my displays came from, I'll tell em they came from some guy whose name I forgot and that even if I did remember the name I would not recommend they deal with him.

In other words, he attacks me, I am going to do the same right back to him. Well, until I get banned or my show is over. Then I'll stop.

Well, I think your show is over. It would seem your attitude just cost you.
 
Kelli, sorry you feel that way, but the way I see it, it's ok for DAVID to say or do anything, and I'm an ass to do the same thing?
This has nothing to do with anyone else....
If you feel I've alienatied myself from the masses..... I just don't see it.
Most feel it's just fun and games. Not everyone here knows me personally.
Most quite a few do. When the dust settles... we'll see....
 
Nope Bill, your wrong. I just signed up 22 more tables this afternoon.
I am almost full. Expecting 1500 to 2000 thru the door.

In fact, anyone who mentions this post will get a free BOI sucks sticker.

I'm joking, I'm joking.

But.... that was funny...... :wavey:

Holy Cow!

It won't be long Ron!:shootfoot
 
Ron, you effectively alienated everyone that voted for Barack Obama, and the last time I checked that was the majority of the country. It just might be wise to keep your dumbass political comments to yourself.

I wasn't speaking about this one event of yours, I was saying it in general. Meaning the way you played your part in this show has really done you damage, financial damage. But...its what you wanted, so I guess you got exactly what you asked for.

BTW - with that "BOI sucks sticker" comment.......another not so very smart thing to joke about.

If you make it through the night without being banned I'd be mighty surprised.

That mirrored my post exactly!:thumbsup:

I have no problem in being banned.
But if I do, then it just proves my point I was trying to make.
That some people, like David can say or do anything and not a word is said.
But, if someone like myself, a person who is trying to defend himself, stands up and protests, then I'm wrong.

What happen to free speech? Am I not allowed to state what I believe?
I'm a republican, and I think in my heart that Obama is going to detroy this country. I don't care what people think of my policatics.....

This is not about me liking or disliking Obama. This is about free speech.

Band me.... I'll sleep just as well tonight as I did last night, being a member.

I've been aquised of being a liar and a theif. I am niether. Just because you stand on a little soap box and say I am does not make it so.
 
Ron, your spelling is atrocious.

Id Suggest you just lay down your guns and let it go. We will see how many attend your show, the second time, I for one, will not be attending, I will be at Sewerfest as I know the show, like it, its a good venue, strict CB rules.

You can say whatever you want, but you should of left the politics out of it man, I mean child molestation, prostitution, thats just asinine. Makes you look worse than the original intent of this very thread man. being Banned here will not help your cause, Id keep the name slinging mud throwing out of it, be Professional, like you claim to be, I understand heat of the moment, being on the hot spot, saying dumb things, but the things you said just boggle my mind.

The Reptile society says no more imports, besides a few select species, and or mutations, importing shouldn't be an option, why not keep it all CB and then animals dying on car rides home wouldn't happen. Its not a coincidence that people have dubbed you Dr. Death all over the country, theres apparently an underlying reason for that Ron. while certain people like imports, well hey thats cool for them, but to not tell everyone what you do is wrong.

I bet you, if you labeled yourself Ron Billingsley, Import King, none of this would of happened, not a single person would buy from you knowing you deal primarily in imports, besides people that like imports, Yes I know you work with CB too, but a CB next to an Import may as well be an import...

This isn't an attack Ron, Don't take it as so, just a little perspective perhaps.

Take a Deep breath, and back away from the keyboard, your doing yourself more harm then good.
 
I've been one of Ron's biggest critics the last couple of years. He & I have some good flame wars in the past (mostly on the Kentucky Expo's forum).

I've only bought animals from him a couple times, and I wouldn't say the experiences were awesome, but they certainly could have been worse. I've always disagreed with Ron's mantra of "needing" to sell wild caught animals.....not that I have a problem with WC, I just like to see healthy, honestly represented livestock for sale at the shows.

I've seen many, many subpar animals for sale on Ron's tables over the years....even a few dead ones. I'm not saying this to "rake him through the mud".....its just the plain and honest truth. I've also spoken to him in person even after having it out with him on the internet. Do I think he is a bad guy personally? No, I just don't agree with many of his business practices.

I will be attending his show this weekend, as I am the kind of guy who likes to give everyone a fair shake. If the show is garbage and full of dead animals, I'll say so.....but I don't think that'll be the case (or at least I hope not).

I don't know what "David" said, but did he also say something on the order of "The BOI sucks"? That is where you are getting yourself into hot water, nothing else as far as I am concerned. I too am getting tired of people using the tools provided here and then spitting in everyone's face at the same time. So quite frankly, I can do without such people and trust me, I will sleep just as soundly with them banned as I have with them being here.

As for "free speech", no, you are NOT free to spit in my face on my site. Not if you believe in the possibility of having any use for this site in the future.
 
Ron sometimes we just need to stop and think about what we say and do. Might be a good time for that.

David maybe a good idea for you as well.

The crap that is in this thread so turns me away from this BOI. Why cant we just get the facts or at least both sides of the story and not bash the shit out of each other. I thought this was for good not a huge boxing match.

To get as personal as it has should never be tolerated. We are in very scarey times in our industry and we come here and throw stones instead of how we could fix the problem. Ron did what he should have done refunded the money. DONE, but oh no lets start a bitching match!

Mr. Web Slave I like your site and I think it does alot of good, BUT THIS KIND OF SHIT IS WRONG!

Do you know what else is wrong? Profanity.

If you took time to read the rules you would know that. And if you really want to be part of the solution you should really stop being part of the problem.
 
Ron, I know that I have heard you say that you do not drink, so you must have been very tired when you posted the last few posts. You have managed to insult just about everyone who will read this thread (in more ways than you may realize). You need to step back and compose yourself. Dave is Dave, always has been that way and does not try to hide it, ever.

You seem to have gone from acting professional and courteous to digging in the gutter for insults...
BTW. Darla and I have been the regular cricket vendors at Taylor since the first show about 7 years ago.
 
Casey, sorry no disrepect to you or Darla.
And yes I was a little carried away. And I know I pushed the enveople.
It's just that certain people can say about anything and nothing is said or done about it, and I wanted to see just how far......

I'm sorry if I offended anyone, for me this was just fun and games. I didn't take none of this seriously. Not from day one. I just saw who I was bannering with and took it as that..... It was funny getting all the emails and phone calls. I have 200 orders for $5 box of crickets!!!

But no worries, I talked to Mike DeCamp last night, your still the Cricket Vendor in Taylor!!!

Everyone now can go back to their daily routine.... the show is over.....
The fat lady sang, and she was off tune....

Of course you did ron. :rofl:

Like there was any threat in the first place. Just a lot of hot air and empty threats, go ahead and puff out that chest some more, you're really impressing me. :rofl: Even if you did indeed talk to Mike last night (which I will verify) he would have told you that he wouldn't allow your vindictive crap at his show. Or maybe you did and heard just that and are trying to save face for not showing up. (Again, I will verify if you did indeed talk to Mike last night)

Everyone now can go back to their daily routine.... the show is over.....The fat lady sang, and she was off tune....

Yes you did, and yes you were.
