    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Warning Points System Mod

One last point to help further clarify this situation. I dinged Ed for the following thread -------> Jeff Ronne

Ed dinged Christopher (which btw, I don't even know him so referring to him as my buddy is yet another way to mislead the forum) for stating that he had a positive experience with Jeff Ronne.

After I dinged him, Ed sent me the following PM on December 12, at 11:59 AM in case you would want to look this up Rich:

Ed Clark said:
bob, the rep hit on your buddy was not for the post you refered to. it was for a rep hit that he gave me that was uncalled for and no good reason for giving it to me. that post you refered to was the only one by him that I seen, so I used it.

So, here we have Ed admitting that he dinged Christopher in retaliation for Christopher dinging Ed. Isn't that against the site rules Rich? Is that behavior becoming of a Mod?

So Ed, before you decide to make pot shots, make sure your housekeeping is in order.

Jim, This is all about me giving someone 2 warning points thats all.

Then why post unsubstantiated claims about Bob, especially when you know they are lies?

And Ed, retaliatory use of the Karma system is forbidden. You know that.

Sammy, Wes, Kmurphy, pscaulkins and a few others. you are very critical of some of us guys that have upped our memberships to try and help police this site and make it better.keep in mind that we paid to help make this a better site!

If some of you feel that you can do a thankless job better, well...put your money where your mouth is and help out and stop being so critical of the people that have offered to help around here.

And cops are hired to do the same things in our society, but are we supposed to ignore it when they are out of line too? When they are dealing drugs, beating hand cuffed and cooperative people, getting DUI's. All because they have a thankless job that they CHOSE to do. Just like you CHOSE to do. I dont think so.

You seem to think that being a mod means people are supposed to look the other way when you screw up, if anything it should mean that you should be held to a higher standard. But you have never shown that a higher standard means anything to you in the first place so your actions and attitude about this is really no surprise.
 
I can also back Bob Woodard's/ Griz's claim of what happen on reptile auctions. I do not remember any of these claims to sell or trade to convicted felons, Ed you care to post proof of his actions regarding this?

Of course he can't because there is none. I knew I could count on you Bobby to back me up. It's amazing what having not one but multiple eye witness's will do to make someone shut up! I appreciate it Bobby!

Griz

PS Ravensgait, Critical Bill etc etc will vouch as well. Care to comment Ed or is that foot of yours getting in the way?
 
Yo ed, I'm still waiting for an answer to my question. Will it be forthcoming today, do you suppose?
 
Ed, you will need to post some substantiation or a retraction now considering that you already knew this to be false. Otherwise you will likely get dinged for "overly abusive" by me and perhaps others.
 
I am no longer active on that site, but at that time I was very active there.

Ed, to make a claim about Bob like this is not even close to being right. You need to post proof of that statement, this is not even close to the truth as I recall.

IMO, this is not going to be about good cop, bad cop. If these facts you claim are true, than the proof needs to be seen.

The respect I had for you is now gone based on your actions here. There was also no reason to issue warnings to this new member. Call it a slap on the wrist if you wish, and you can also make the claim it was only two points. What I see is a new member getting hit without any thought at all on your part. :NoNo: This is my honest opinion.
 
I think that perhaps as requested we should not argue, here, about points given.

I am not trying to argue, I am giving my opinion :yesnod: . I still think he jumped before he thought, just like the comment he made about Bob, however, he needs to post proof on that one or give Bob an apology. :rolleyes:
 
thank you to all those that spoke up for me. now that i have posted my pm's i will be on my way. i didnt come here to argue, i just wanted to prove that my warning points were not for posting multiple threads. as you can see, Ed Clark did not mention this at all when i asked him in the pm's. i really do not care about the 2 points but its the principle. :)
 
Michele I hope this whole ordeal does not stop you from coming back.
I for one would like to see you continue on here.

Michelle, I second that. Don't let someone of Ed's ilk drive you off. You're more then welcomed to stay and we encourage you to do just that.

And, just for the record Michelle, Ed left you comments on your warning that states "You can not talk about someone that you did not purchase something from. Think about that!"

Yet, take a look at this particular post from Ed ----> Anthony's thread

He not only felt the need to post on this individuals thread but he had the audacity to advertise someone else's product even BEFORE the whole story was given. I am willing to bet that Ed had never purchased from Anthony before yet he felt it was OK to post on his thread. So, the question that begs asking, why wasn't it OK for you to post on someone else's? Double standard there Ed? Hypocrite.

JimO, I stated that I heard the stories about Griz tradeing firearms for snakes. and I think that alot of other people have heard the same stories. I never said that I believed these stories to be true, Never. I also heard that the DNR was involved, once again I dont know if this is true or not, but Im sure that the DNR keeps records.
Ed Clark said:
Bob, this is coming from someone that would break the rules to neg rep me for a friend that could not do it himself, then leave me a note about it stating the neg rep was for someone else. your cheap shots at me give me a good laught...thats all. I have heard the stories about you trading firearms with convicted felons. and you have the nerve to point fingers at others. :rofl:

Please, Ed. You came here and posted that as an attack on Bob's character. Plain and simple. Anyone who read your post can clearly see that. You are a sad unethical man Ed. YOU, not Bob.
 
So you are saying that you never heard About Griz, the DNR and the firearms thing?

That in itself is an attack on anyones character, if its true?

So if a little birdie told me that you are a child molester it would be OK for me to post that I had heard that? Ed, you are smarter than to think anyone buys the above excuse. Yes, technically you never said you believed it. FWIW I don't believe those stories about you being a child molester either.

C'mon Ed, you know the difference.

That's my last comment on this subject.
 
Lets read what you said, Ed.

"I have heard the stories about you trading firearms with convicted felons. and you have the nerve to point fingers at others. :rofl: "

That sure dont come across as someone just offhand mentioning an old rumor that was never substantiated. Keep reaching, Ed. You KNOW what you did and so does anyone else. My 12 year old is standing over my shoulder right now and sees it. And now instead of manning up and doing the right thing you are trying to lie about your intentions. We aint that stupid Ed.
 
JimO, this was bigger than a little birdie talking, everybody was talking about this at the time. If it was true or not I dont know, but there was alot of talk about it and some believed it to be true, and the fact that the DNR was involved makes it out to seem more believeable. once again I dont know if this is true or not?
