Admit it...you love reading the BOI!

Time to come clean...how many of you love reading crazy stuff on the BOI? =D

80% of my BP internet time is spent between this forum and kingsnake. I'll look at BOI when I'm curious about a breeder / seller. If I'm there for more than 20 minutes I've been there too long.

The only time I ever read it is if someone directs me to a particular thread for a real reason. I'll admit that it can be entertaining to watch some of the dirty gossip and bickering that goes on....but SO much of it is just garbage and gives me a huge headache if I were to try to wade through it for entertainment purposes.


So no...I really don't read it unless absolutely necessary. LOL

I guess I enjoy entertaining long threads which display the true quality of some rare, fellow humans...

[kavmon]

it's like a soap opera! i get a laugh, and get a little gossip too.

It's like a car wreck, you can't NOT look! The lengths some people will go to prove their own stupidity are astounding.

What source are you reading from,I'm lost!! Lol.

[monkeywrench133]

We're refering to the "Board of Inquiry" on Faunaclassifieds.com. In theory, the BOI is a forum where people in the reptile hobby/industry come to share their business experiences with other people in the industry. If, for example, you wanted to buy a BP from "John Doe", you'd do a search on the BOI for "John Doe" and see what other people's experiences had been. Or alternately, if you had a deal go bad, you'd post about it on BOI to "warn" others of doing business with "John Doe".

In reality, the BOI tends to be an ego-driven, juvenille, mob-mentality kangaroo court, pissing contest/bit$$-fest.........................which is why it's so fun in a very dysfunctional way.

It does have its uses, if you wanted to know about Matt Graybeal of MGReptiles.com before you bought anything from him, you would find out that Matt has one of the best reputations in the industry. Unfortunately, you would also find out that there are way too many crooks/scam artists out there to possibly name.

I'd probably either use the BOI as a resource or for purely wierd entertainment purposes more but being a poor pitiful slow dialup person I could have a flippin nap between the page loads...waaaaaaaaaaay too slow for my busy day!

Am I the only person that can't stand that kind of garbage? BOI has its uses, as the forum owner originally intended...but most of the "action" there is like trying to watch Jerry Springer or something. bleh!
