In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.
Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
Sponsors - Eliminated
Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
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.

Just took care of this since you posted this thread (and thank you for the notification). In the future, please use the report post function as well so it alerts site staff members rapidly and directly. I only happened to refresh this forum a bit ago.

I could never understand that offer of an extra however-many $$$, as to me it SCREAMS "scam", and you'd think would warn people off, but I read somewhere that when people do respond to something obvious like this, it indicates to the scammer that they are an easy (and greedy) mark, so it's essentially a sort of pre-screening device.

Adams12 contacted me a week ago with the SAME exact massage in that original post. I emailed him back, but never heard from him
Searched here and found this
WTF is wrong with people? And why is this industry so susceptible to these clowns?

I just received the exact email...from David for my Papuan Python. I don't get his motivation.
I mean I went to all this trouble to take a screenshot, might as well add it to the pile.

You should reply back "OK, we can wait to do the transaction when you get back. You know how unreliable assistants are. they might mistakenly send too much money and then I'd have to mail you back the remainder. Best to just keep the transaction between us."
Got this today from a user going by freng12
Still up for sale?let me know the final price and get back to me via my email [email protected]
His join date is within the last week, he has no posts, states that his location is California without a specific city, and his name is "wilsonjohn." This is clearly a duplicate account to the "adams12" account, and should be banned.
