    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....

The Rachodactylus Network! What the hell is going on over there?

I misread the first part and thought someone else started it. Yeah, well I guess I didn't like you doing it then. I've seen many people do it in the past, going off to other forums to complain or in some case flame. All it does is stir the pot in other places, doesn't do much good.
 
Lets say you had small children that looked at reptile forums....would you want them looking at a forum where some of the posts have content about child molestation and other realted issues in them?

Lets also say you were selling bearded dragons on a site.....would you want the moderator to intentionally change your classified ad without your permission to rag on you?

If you answered 'NO' to either of these questions which would be the obvious answer......you see why the thread is here and continues to be viewed daily.
 
Bowles.....since you are currently viewing this thread, any comments about what the heck is going on over there with the changing of classified ads, posts, and the talk of child molestation/predator stuff?

If there was very obscene/off-topic/disgusting posts that should be taken with mods/admins, no? If they are the ones doing it or condoning it that obviously won't work of course. And if they persist and change you ads just don't post there. If you don't like the drama there why bring it here? Leave it over there and let the poorly run board die....
 
Or you could do what I did.....

I didn't like the way a couple of fish sites I posted on were being run so I started my own. My site is ran how I want it to be run with extremely strict rules regarding the way members treat other members and staff, staff treats members and staff, etc. Respect is the bottom line, if a staffer can't treat members with respect they are demoted and if a member can't behave they are banned.

Yes but wouldn't you like to be advised of what is going on at a forum so you can either aviod it or at least keep your kids from being subjected to it? It's like putting up an experience of a bad herp deal that's all....you would like to keep others from having to go through what you have by explaining your experience.

If everyone kept quiet about their bad dealings that would be an injustice to the community. I know if I had any, I wouldn't want my kids coming to me with some of the content that was on that forum.

By the way the hosting company made them remove the offcolor posts/threads so I believe they thought it was in very poor taste too.
 
You'll get a giggle out of this....

I mentioned Boobys :toiletcla comments about him to Don & Shey last weekend, and they looked at each other like who and the hell is Bobby Pruett, Don asks, Shey "do we know Him" Shey says to Don "I don't think so". I didn't know about their little network until I saw this thread and thought just MAYBE there might be something worth looking at there....WRONG and getting banned was no big deal either.

Note to Bobby,
Why do you feel the need to bring Don into this, as far as I can see he has nothing to do with anything here. BTW the Taiwan Beauties are still doing well.

What a moderator from The Rachodactylus Network is like...

This is a post from one of the moderators there and this is what you can most likely expect if you embarrass them:

The following is from a letter that is from Matt Lerer. We X'd out the receivers name to protect him from Matts insanity and his attacks.

The Rachodactylus Network forums......Great site for the kids huh? Now this moderator is posting this garbage about child molestation on this forum site. Will they ever learn what is right and what is wrong? Someday......maybe.
 
I am not sure why I keep coming back to read more of these Bobby Pruett posts. I am never going to get these hours/days back! I think we can sum things up with the following remarks/questions:

1. Bobby Pruett is most definitely an A1, first class TOOL

2. Does this guy keep moving around to avoid the puddle of sludge that most definitely follows him?

3. It is so obvious that this guy has zero good reputation and his only hopes of selling a reptile would be to the neighborhood Down Syndrome child.

4. We seem to forget that after all is said and done these are living breathing animals that we are all responsible for whether we keep them as pets or breed them for profit. Lets try to remember that and take care of them instead of just seeing them as dollar signs.

5. Libel is illegal and hopefully one of you succeeds in getting a judgement against this numbnuts. Although unless you are interested in a pig off the farm or a grille from a 73 Ford pickup, I doubt there is much to be gained from a civil judgement.

6. All these Pruett related threads have been a how to. How to be an assclown. How to rip people off for their hard earned money. How to spread lies about people. How to sell sick reptiles to unsuspecting youngsters.

Remember buddy, suicide is always an option.

Have a great day and hope you slip in a puddle of Ghonorrea!

The guy is now so paranoid that this was in an e-mail to someone who couldn't register on The Rachodactylus Network forums:

All info including your full name along with the email address your ISP issued you is required to join. The program kicks all hotmail,yahoo,etc. addresses.

I guess all of his aliases won't be able to register there either :rofl:
 
As im sure he has horrible conditions at his "store," why doesnt anyone report him for animal cruilty. While you cant gain anything by suing him, I know that animal cruilty isnt taken lightly by the proper authorities. Judging by the horrer stories of animals he ships out, I can only guess that there are many more being tortured with horribly care. Im sure many die terrible deaths. If you know who this person is or where he leaves, call the authorities and report him quickly.

Funny I have changed IP's three times and am still on there laughing at their sad little ways.
 
It is kind of sick isn't it? I mean all those threads dedicated to lil' ol' me :rofl: Maybe ToHotToHandle couldn't stand the heat in his own kitchen so he bailed from the community. Man did he burn himself or what :hot:
 
Sick is the thought of fat bastard Timmy in a speedo trying to surf with you Matt. You know you are his idol and he so wanted to be like you... ;)
 
Well you may have a point.....he was buying emeralds from me, called me and e-mailed me all of the time, asked me what kind of vehicle I drove then got the same, told me how much he liked to fish....just like me, and other creepy things too. Kind of sad to want to be like me :nopity:
 
A known scammer like Bowles? :no01: No thanks! I am happy being one of the good guys in the business ;)
 
The latest and greatest from a forum of two

Well I guess they want me to see what they post because it is there in plain daylight for everyone to see including me. I also see I am not banned anymore from their play area. With the likes of Tim Bowles and Bobby Pruett running the forums at The Rachodactlus Network no wonder why nobody posts there. Can't trust them in the community and their actions on the forums follow suit to perfection :rofl:
My classified ad was stolen off kingsnake.com and this is what was done to it on The Rachodactylus Network forum. It was posted by 'ToHotToHandle', aka Tim Bowles

Here is a sneak preview:
