Thanks for clearing this up, it's been my biggest beef all along, now I can sleep well at night knowing the confusion is sorted out.

Seriously all that needed to be done was to explain it more.. I really had no idea what you guys were referring to. I have no problem refunding money that is owed to people that the service actually didnt happen for... seriously

Im not out to hustle people, if I was out to make money and run I would have renewed peoples photo accounts and banners. I just want to clear everything up so I dont have to return...

Walter you paid me via a online money order if I remember correctly?? Or was it by cheque?? I have no listing for it in my paypal account.. I am trying to find the exact ammount as I have no invoices on this computer/

Kelvin, thanks a million man! I hope all is well with you aswell and hopefully we can get together after one of those shows in the future for a beer or 12

Whitewolf: Done.

Walter: PM'd you back! and regardless of if rest of you believe me or not I seriously thought it was regarding the TARAS show and you can see from my last few posts.. Walter is getting his money which he IS owed and was not questioned about after I realized what it was from.

Laurynn · 03-20-05, 12:22 PM

And to anyone who honestly got to know me on the forums and thought I would with hold someones money from them or try to scam someone in the least you seriously need to check your head. I ran this site for years without a single problem and got to know a ton of you and considered alot of you friends. For you to honestly think I would try to rip someone off after paying for a website for you guys to enjoy free of charge, never ripping off, over charging, or scamming anyone, makes me sick to even think about. Then to acuse me of treating people unfairly??? You have some serious issues... To you people thanks for nothing. To those people who truly got to know me and know differantly.. Heres to a great future and god bless.

WALTER · 03-20-05, 12:22 PM

Thanks Jeff, Money was received. Jeff and I have worked things out and no hard feelings. Hope things go well for you in the future Jeff. I will take up other issues with the new owners from this point on.

Laurynn · 03-20-05, 12:24 PM

Thanks Walter and I am truly sorry that I was confused and I hope you know that if I had of known what banner you were referring to you would have never had to wait for your money to be returned!! Thanks again for understand and take care!

im a little late on my comment due to the fact that i had to read everyones comments...lol...just wanted to say that knowledge has no borders...this site helps us all take much better care of our reptiles...so if you really due care about the hobby and the health of your reptile...then you will use this website, canadian or not.

my 2 cents

I've been here for a while and i have learned a lot. I will stick around untill the forums get pointless and out of control, i would rather it was still canadian owned though 8 (.

What was all that about iguana farms though? can't say i like the sounds of that.

tHeGiNo · 03-20-05, 02:19 PM

Talking to Jeff, I have realized how stupid I have been in regards to the change in ownership. I came up with this analogy as to what I was thinking, and what others should start to think; when we buy a chocolate bar, we do not choose it because of the wrapper, we choose it for whats inside. So why then, does this site all of a sudden become American, just because the owner may not be of Canadian origin? It is the MEMBERS of the site that makes it what it is, and so long as the members are present, does it really matter where the owner is from? The site has been sold for eight months as we are told, and there has been no 'americanization' so far - aside from maybe the bar added to the top of the page. What makes us think that it will happen in the future, then?

Anyhow, we all as Canadians owe sSnakeSs.com a great deal, for it has advanced the Canadian community five fold. Where would we have to purchase all our new animals if it were not for this site? I stopped to think for a second as to how much this site has brought me closer to the hobby, and was amazed. I am confident in saying that this site alone has increased the hobby as whole exponentially.

So long as this site stays the way it is, and is updated from here on in, I will continue to post here. Together, both sSnakeSs and Reptiles Canada are working towards the same cause - the love for reptiles, so why the quarrel? I am still upset that we were not informed of this change, however I am sure there was a reason for what happened.

Laurynn · 03-20-05, 02:35 PM

Thanks David. I have no reason to hold back anymore so here are a few things I found really amusing...

Grant Crossman... You truly are one of a kind man... The number of times I have went to the plate for you, the dozens of times I have defended you online aswell as in person, the evolution of your reptile expo from 300 to thousands of people that attend your show cam from this site and I have watched you in the who's online for the last few days reading every thread that has been posted about me and you dont have the nerve to come to mine or the sites defence. Instead you stay idle reading and the only think that you can possibly worry about is how this is going to affect the new site you are working on... Thanks for nothing man. I dont even expect you to respond nor do I want to hear a excuse.

All of the Canadian members... I have sat here and watch you people try to belittle me for selling the website in which I paid for, I went it debt for, for 2 years, I devoted 7 hours a day to bring this thing to where it is and I dont ask you for jack... All I would EXPECT would be a little respect and to some of you to come to my defence when the lynch mob / bandwagen decide to roll over me. Instead that was done by a american Gregg M... How ironic is that?? The majority of you decide to jump on the wagen and some call me a Scumbag while an other says he will refuse to be on a site where people are treated like this... Please. I never asked you people for anymore then you felt like giving back. This NEVER even came close to what I put out for the site and I never complained and this was my project and I didnt expect you guys to pitch in. Alot of people did and unfortunately there are curcumstances in my life which are really none of you business as to why I sold the site and you really dont deserve a explaination.

The people who actually deserved to be angry... IE Walter and Frogman... I am sorry that you guys were overlooked and I have done my best to reimburse you. Those 2 issues were truly my fault and I am indeed sorry. Ryan I will apologize to you aswell since you had to be the key martyr in all of this.

Alot of you people really need to come out of the shells you live in and look at the big picture... You seriously have no idea what this site has done for you regardless of who owns it now... I dont even want to hear a thank you or anything nor do I expect it.. What I did expect was a little courtesy and for people to approch it with a open mind... Thanks for nothing... Seriously.

And since this is smoothed over, this will honestly be my last post. I have addressed everything I needed to and I have made my opinions clear. Good bye and god bless.
