Why is the name of another site banned?

[norman]

sSnakeSs is a million times better than that 'other' site....It was disorganized, and there was no sense of community.....

[BAZ]

I like ssnakess.com a lot but I still do visit the other site for 2 reasons only and those are the Monitor Forum and the Crocodilian Forum. It doesn't really have anything to do with the site but with the people who post on these 2 forums. I have learnt a lot from people like Bill Moss and Dr. Adam Britton on the crocodilian forums and I have learnt alot from the people at Pro Exotics, Frank Retes, and many others on the monitor forum.

Hey marisa, I am only 40 minutes south of the Peace Arch crossing into BC, see I'm practically an honorary Canadian!

My friend owns/runs www.herpetoculture.com and a TON of other herp forum sites, but none of them have much traffic. I personally am a big Usenet user, I post heavily on rec.pets.herp and alt.pets.reptiles.snakes and sometimes alt.pets.arachnids

Also I recognize the resource that ks is, sometimes if I am seeking more input on a topic I will just go and search the archives of their forums but I rarely post there. Lots of politics, I hate that crap! I have really received a warm welcome here on ssnakess.com and am so glad I found the IRC channel

Alot of vets still hang at the KS hot forum. I still cruise in ther a couple times a week. And of course i visit reptilehaven.net as much as here if not more. Those 3 are the big traffic sites I visit. But I do spend alot of timeon multiple smaller sites that don't have near the traffic.

For the record to clear everything up, this was Barringers doing and not ours... He has done this to any and every other reptile community on the internet that he feels is a threat to his business, we dont block other communities only his for what he has done to us. If you want more infomation, go to www.boardofinquiry.com and do a search on kingsnake, there are a ton of threads there relating to this problem posted by other communities.

Thanks for the info Jeff, I appreciate your comments. I have been doing some reading on the Board of Inquiry, and let me just say, SHEESH!!! PEOPLE!

Actually it only takes 10-15 minutes to get to Bellingham from the Peace Arch. I live down in Mt. Vernon.

I plan on going to the northwest reptile show in tacoma right? in october since its bigger then the ones we get up here I hope its legal to bring reptiles across in a car

Actually the big reptile show is in Puyallup, assuming you mean the Northwest Captive Breeder's Expo. October 11 & 12, more info here: http://www.beanfarm.com/nwcbe.html and you can come meet me at the Pacific Northwest Herp Society booth! I am always there with bells on at the big shows.

I have picked up rescue animals in White Rock and Burnaby and successfully brought them into the US at both the Peace Arch and the truck crossing. Don't forget your birth certificate or passport, the US customs dudes are really uptight!!

Also if you're into frogs there is a Northwest Frog Fest November 1st in Gig Harbor, WA.... www.northwestfrogfest.com

I seriously hate KS. They banned me for no reason. I left them and came here. I like it much better here!
jeff i totally agree with you! we were both banned for similair reasons.....i was here before i was there, and i like this place better, thats why i told leo-land to come here!!!

[Steeve B]

Why did you say his name now my nightmares will start anew!

This is one ugly beast inside an out.

[Bryce Masuk]

froglet I dont really go into the states anymore i used to but the dollar is lower so it isnt worht my time when i can get the stuff i want cheaper here Besides reptiles i dont know why i thought tacoma meh what are you gonna do I am not too into frogs or at least yet

[fr0glet]

I used to spend every weekend in Vancouver BC, my logic was that my dollar was going further but then I figured out that the prices were considerably higher so it was a wash

Anyway Puyallup and Tacoma are pretty close together, maybe someone mentioned that to you

I am a member of Dog Hobbyist, an affiliate of Pethobbyist which KS is also. They were working on revamping the layout and asked for suggestions. I couldn't remember what the layout of this site was called so I just said see www.ssnakess.com, I like the layout a lot over there. And I got a WARNING!!! I asked the doghobbyist mods what was up and they had no idea that such a thing would occur but it's all because of how KS is run and it affects all their other forums. It's really odd.

[geckoguy157]

i herd about people saying they dont like kingsnake and there is no candians on it why wouldnt u go to the canadian one them
