you really wanna freak them out? sign up under a different account and tell them you are building a 500 gallon viv that will house 4 different morphs of tincs, a herd of leucs and a breeding pair of geckos. then just sit back and let the flaming begin!! i'm pretty sure a few of them might even have their heads explode!! LOL

for what it is worth, we're glad to have you, and everyone else on here, here
HAHA thanks Bill.. REALLY FUNNY! However I am not in the hobby to piss people off. Im truely here to learn as much as I can before I earn my degree in biology while helping the animal (amphibian) kingdoms =P. I get called wierd every day for my passion with my frogs at my actual job .. Although its a bit discouraging at times I am thankfull they do make fun of me from time to time because im sure I would have a passion that would be over extreme and I would be a complete jerk to those people that I saw do something wrong or mentioned a statement that was off key. (kinda like dendroboard did) In the few days I was there i did meet some people that privated me and gave me suggestions to the theories I mentioned and FINE TUNED them rather than DEBUNK them. SO although my complaint still stands It is still a positive experience. I am more of an optimistic person and look for the best in both sides of the story. (or in this case best sides of each forum).

I do remember a private message i recieved from an UNDISCLOSED USER that mentioned why do i keep mentioning money. "We dont care about money here." That kind of set me back and look a bit as well. Money is an object for me as my career is strictly based on taxpayers dollars (MILITARY). My hobbies have to be quite limited as far as funding goes. SO bill you are totally right when it comes to that!!

MOVING ON NOW =) For those users that still use Dboard. Please do. There are alot of valid points they bring up to their arguements and stories. Just not the kind of attention that is wanted or desired.
