    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.

    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....

Should personal issues be drug into the BOI or any other forum for that matter?

The info on Mike was not a use of personal info as an attack, it was use of personal info to get to the root of the cause of the auction bidding and to show a history of how things happened between, Mike, Tere and Paul.

Wendy,

All I can say is thank you.
 
In that case , I think that with respect to everyone that maybe personal information such as he/she did this and he/she did that, Should only be done if there is substantial proof of the allegations...As long as they are directed in a mature manner
Mind you i am not thinking of any particular post on this
Also i dont know if anyone here has ever decided to buy a certain reptile and tried to do a search on the seller only to find pages and pages of B.S. on them after about pg 3 some would just give up, it gives me a headache...lol
Just a sugestion... Maybe we could put a poll on the good guy threads....but that could be abused, Or maybe a short form at the begining of a thread saying if he/she is a good business person or a liar or a theif etc...
Or better yet one BOI for personal and One for just business
Now i forgot what the point i was trying to make

We all ready have the poll format for the Good Guys.
The Good Guy Certification forum.

I agree with you Dennis, it definitely can be abused. That forum was attended to be used as such

This is a proactive method for people to know the good guys to deal with by them having a certification medallion displayed on their website that indicates them being in good standing with the members of this site in relation to how they do business.

But we all know that in reality the forum has been tarnished from that original concept.
