    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.....

    =====================


    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....

Bad Guy SCAMMER!!! Jay Mcnight / Jason Ciconne/ Franklin Chams Chams/SCAMMER

Ok, I see your 3 minutes and 20 seconds and raise you, he is never going to do the id check and will never be allowed back onto the forums.
 
Pushes all of her non money chips to the center of the table.


I see your ID check but raise you that given his past history, he will temporarily succeed in getting in using a fake ID, but will be banned anyway because of post content in 3 minutes and 20 seconds.

:popcorn_02:
 
I think we should start a pool (no actual money, just guesses). I think he will last 3 minutes and 20 seconds and go away for a year. Anyone else?

Lucille,
If he is allowed back, I'll raise you 3 minutes and he goes away for a lifetime.....

I'm betting with you Dan. If he had some huge thing to post he would have already done it. He had no problems running his mouth all over Facebook. If he had some huge thing to add it would already be out there. When a person is looking as poorly as he is and has been looking why save something to say until a specific date. All he has to do tag my name in his post and put new info in and I'll take screen shots and post it here. So Jay got something to say then say it. I will make sure to drag it over here for you. That's me calling your bluff.
He talked on Facebook about posting the vet reports. He was thinking just the threat of doing it would be some kind of magic trick.
He's not ever coming back to fauna. This is where I put all my chips in.
 
I'd like to know why he's using a different last name to begin with, 3 for that matter, 1 real 2 fake. At least me using Ortiz on some things, like here, isn't as bad because when I'm married that WILL be my last name. And i actually have my legal name in the appropriate spot.

Him using 3 different names is pretty strange, not sure why I didn't pick up on it sooner but seeing the Facebook posts just made me think of it

I'm betting he'll be back, acting all professional and well mannered with maybe his first two or three posts -but that behavior won't last. I'll give Jay five to six posts before he's booted.

Looks around the room but no, she bet all her chips in post 562. But this ain't gonna happen, 3 good posts.
 
Stopped reading somewhere between pages 30 and 35. Obviously the OP got scammed. Jays credibility is probably about the same as the dude wearing a trench coat stopping random cars a few blocks away from my house by now. And off topic, if there were only a few people calling Elexis an attention hound, they can now add me to that bandwagon. Posting 20 accusing comments asking for SSs of texts YOU ALREADY SAW all within a few hours of each other and claiming you 'caught a lie' (you caught something anyone could forget about, not a lie' every 10 minutes the 2nd set of the same SSs werent posted. Absolutely ridiculous and I would expect more of a CHILD! If your asking for potentially dozens of SSs common ****ing courtesy would be to wait a day or 2 for him to complete this 'hardly necessary and very inconvenient' task. Now you guys may have kissed and made up during the 20 pages after what i read, i dont know, but that whole ordeal has added you to my 'Do not do business with' list, and you arent even a part of this thread. As for Jay, hes also on the list now. And as for the OP, I hope you got your money or animals somewhere in the 20 pages i didnt read (because Elexis's tantrum annoyed the hell out of me) but if not, call the credit card company and give them all your evidense and then just hope.

Good, don't want your business anyhow. I wasn't the only one who said they should be posted, and they should have been posted permanently, them not being and not knowing the full story made it look like Craig was hiding something. The more info that was posted it was clear he wasn't so I apologized, but guess that's not good enough :shrug: but again I don't want your business if you're going to base it off this thread, and that was no tantrum but call it what you will. I have several happy customers, 2 of which I drove threw a storm last night to get 2 different people their snakes, one I caught the label said wouldn't be delivered until 4:30pm. So instead of taking a chance of my animal dying in transit I drove 2+ hours to meet her so she received a live healthy snake, 4+ hour round trip but yep base it off this thread and not see the real me, this was questions asking for more info to be posted, apparently you and a couple people can't accept when I admitted I was wrong and apologized but again don't want your business.

Since when did this become about you Elexis? So what someone made a comment you didn't like. The mature thing would have been to shrug it off and say everyone has their opinion and go about your business. I read the whole thread before I decided to butt in and say something.

On another note; The way I see the whole Jay and Facebook situation, is that if nothing else, he is making lots of new members for fauna. Curiosity gets the best of most people, so let him spout off on Facebook. They will come here and read the real story.

They should totally run a special using that concept- maybe a coupon for a dollar off membership for the next week if you found out about Fauna on Jay's FB. :D
 
There has been quite a bit of off topic posting over the past 2r hrs - rein it in, people.

As far as the questions regarding Jay/Jason's ban, I felt that I made my stance fairly clear in the thread Julia C initiated. At this point, without even considering the issues mentioned in my last post, Mr Ciccone may not be allowed to return...for the simple reason that he has not taken the final step in correcting his name issue. (I don't feel that the details are pertinent to this thread; but you will notice that his profile does not yet display his real name.) He has chosen to drag this out, for whatever reasons make sense to him - his motivation may well have been impacted by the knowledge that I wasn't lifting his ban early. C'est la vie.

Sigh, just because someone says something, doesn't mean you have to respond. You could have just overlooked that statement and gone on with your day instead of continuing the derailing of this thread.

:exactly: Yep

:iagree: Most people that read this whole ordeal will make up their minds as to a lot of things. Including possible business transactions.
 
Yes I did that well over a week ago

Craig,
Unless things have changed, it a waste of time and energy to file a complaint with IC3.

I filed a complaint back in March 2011, and contacted them 4 additional times, and I've never heard back in any way, shape, or form.

I hope you get what's yours!
