    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....

Top Shelf Exotics (Inquiry)

Fyi......

Just wanted to post a note here explaining what I am about to do. It has been brought up in other threads about Chris Johnson's high Trader's Rating on this site being something to use as a comparison when that rating is called upon by others as a reference. This concerns me, and I think I need to do something about it. I would have thought that the rating itself would be an accurate representation of the true situation, but apparently it is not. The easiest way is for me to just ban Chris Johnson, as that removes the Trader's Rating from that display.

Since there is very little likelihood that Chris will be back here to post, I feel it is in everyone's best interests if that is what I do. But I want it known that the banning really had nothing to do with anything other than this concern about the top Trader's Rating display on this site.

:thumbsup: Thank you, Rich. In this particular situation, I believe that is the wisest thing you could do.
 
wonder

Does anyone have any updates or anything about the progress of the charges against him? I know everything can not be posted on the open forum for obvious reasons.I am just wondering how things are going.

Not a thing Regarding Chris, It seems to have dropped off the face of the map....... :shrug01:
 
thanks

OK thanks.Like i said i was just wondering.Plus it was a reason to bring this thread back to the front page. ;)
 
I was just wondering what was going on with the funds that were donated in order to hire an attorney. HISS donated and it has been many months now, and I would like to know. I did pm Bob England with this questions, and he did reply and told me that he was waiting on a consensus as to what to do with the money. He said that he felt it would best be used to pay for transportation costs for some of Chris' victims to go testify at his trial. I did pm him back:

Hi Bob-
I have heard from a couple of friends that there is another forum regarding this. Is that true? I understand waiting for a consensus however, myself and at least one other donor have not been contacted about any possible decisions being made.

So what is going on exactly? Will Chris be going to trial? Is there going to be a civil case filed? What?

Thanks!

Not trying to be a jerk at all, but I do want to know what's going on.
 
Steve, there hasn't been much happening that hasn't been posted on this thread. I did send Kelli an email quite some time ago about things regarding this...did she get it?
 
I also should state, before someone gets crazy, that there is NO plan to use the money for people to travel to the court hearings.

Hi Cathy-

No, she did not receive it, could you please resend? :)

I will clarify that Bob told me (in a pm) that that is how HE felt the money would best be used, not that it would be used for that.
 
Just wanted to let everyone now that my pair of "het clowns" from chris are currently mating. I do not except anything from this pair but I will keep you posted.
 
I never recieved my snakes at all, so I guess at least I haven't been feeding three normals to get them big enough to find that they are no good.
$995.oo that I paid for nada. Never got snakes, just excuses until they ceased to even bother emailing excuses.

Thanks for posting, and do keep us updated.

Common sense tells us that you will produce a beautiful clutch of normals....but there's always that little voice waaaayyy in the back of our heads that keeps saying, "Maybe......" ;)

My TSE "het" albino girl and a real het albino male are still going at it.....I'm guessing I'll have some nice 50%ers for sale a few months from now.

Steve I would also like to know what is going on with this also, It has never surfaced in the other forum, but from what I'm seeing it is being dicussed behind other closed doors.I know for a fact I wasn't asked about it..... Maybe because my donation was of a small amount, :shrug01:

We still don't have access to the other forum, I guess if the topic of the donations isn't being discussed there either than it doesn't matter that much, although it would be nice.

The amount of one's donation should have no bearing on whether you should be kept informed about discussions dealing with if and how the money you donated is going to be spent.
 
Does anyone know what was the total that was raised? Where's the money deposited?

Regards.
