[B]BOI about to be NO more![/B]

[Foschi Exotic Serpents]

For those of you also on fauna, you have probably already heard about this. The BOI will most likely no longer be in existance very soon due to lack of funding to keep it going. If this happens, our only other option is to turn to bp.net Inquiries/Feedback for posting good guy/bad guy reports for business transactions.

You must be logged in to fauna to see the thread but if you go there its in the BOI section titled The future of the BOI.

If we lose this we must all take advantage of THIS forums feedback and create another "BOI" persay. For all our sakes. Its very important to know who you are dealing with. To know you will not be scammed. So please continue to take advantage of BOI while we still have it but also please use this forum as well. In case we do lose the BOI, so we will still have this important info.

Thanks ~Monica

Do the admins on BP-net really want a BOI here?

There is a potential financial liability that comes with running a forum like the BOI.

Hopefully you ran your post by the admins before you asked people to use this site as an alternate BOI.............

If this website can't hold a BOI, we have to try to find another way to have or make one..
It's extremely important IMO, but Skiploader is right, it is a financially difficult thing to do and would take a lot of effort from the Admins and owners of this forum.

Edit: Can you link the thread that talks about this?
I can't find it.. and I am logged in.

wow.. fauna losing the BOI?????

How can getting rid of the BOI save them money?

I can't believe that might happen, I mean, classifieds and the BOI are the most important parts of fauna.

Aside from the time and effort required to moderate a forum like the BOI, it exposes the owner to potential financial liabilities -i.e. litigation.

My generally humble opinion is that the site owners are using the death of the BOI to drum up money for themselves in the form of memberships. Not that this is unreasonable by any means, but a little less than forward. It seems unlikely that they are paying that much for for a server to hold text information.

Not a computer wiz, just throwing in my pennies.

Read the first paragraph of this:

Then this:

......and then tell me if you still think Rich is drumming up anything.

Forum members and owners can and are sued by people who they criticize on these forums.

With the number of Bad Guy threads posted on Fauna, it's a matter of time before someone decides he's going to see how far he can go pushing back.

If only there were someone, any one, a student even, who knew the law, or thought they did, or might someday if they keep on studying....if only there were one of those.....

Of course, he's got loosewheel to help him out over there.

Maybe that's part of the problem....

the code i posted does not give members imunity but it does for isp and other service providers!
a company suing members of a forum has nothing to do with the other
