I joined RFUK and i first thought that it was full of a lot of back stabbers and ppl that just argued for the sake of a row. Debate is ok, but i observed that it got personal and at the time a lot of ppl were banned and booted, remember princess pea? Nothing to do with me, but that seemed to be the era.....
So, i said my piece and made it clear, and things seemed to mellow.
Anyway, i became more of an observer than a poster, but i`ll tell you this......
This site and thecornsnake has been a blast of fresh air, and credit goes to those that started, own and manage these sites.
RFUK got too big too quick and it has lost the personal touch.
I speak my mind, and what i say is my opinion, and if ppl dont take it, or dont like it they can .... ...
So, you have been banned, for what? Sharing information? OMG, thats like banning ppl for googling the word Cornsnake, because....... just because.
Who cares??
Thanks Mark - I set this up and the other two websites (thekingsnake.co.uk is still in progress) as a bit of fun I didn't realise things would grow into what they have done. I was proud to have a corn snake and found that appart from a few other forums and websites there wasn't many based in the UK. I just wanted to share the information I had gained with others the best way I knew how, so built the corn snake. The first forum was basic (very basic) but we still built up a few members. When I upgraded the design and forum in February this year the corn snake.co.uk grew overnight! and is still doing so - we have at least three or four new members each week.
I hope as big as it get it still keeps that personal touch and homely feel to it, and I'll try to keep that no mater what - but I think it's the community of people that have made the forums so successful, without you all the site would be a bit pants really 
I must admit I tend to just read post on RFUK as no-one replies to me when I do post. lol still some good information on there If people ever reply
How did you find the corn snake.co.uk in the first place btw?... just good to know how people are finding us!
Thank again!

Hi Lewy
Good On You!
I found this site as i was sent a link from 'Ell' who is on TCS.
She found me, because i was advertising hatchlings on gumtree, so we became sort of penpals regarding snake chat.
So, here i am.

It seems I've been banned for a month now, by a different moderator, for the same offence (as I have been a good boy since then, but sent quite a few PMs out), maybe someone else has now decided to report me.

Hello
You received a previous Infraction and warning regarding PM advertising your forums. We have now received further reports of this.
You have now received a 2 point Infraction which will result in a one month ban.
If we hear of this again your ban will probably be perm.
Thanks

i found the corn snake through google, i looked into rfuk last month to see what "the dark side" was all about( as was quoted). i must say i do prefer the lay outs and the way things tick on lewys set up.
i also noticed there are a few know it alls on rfuk, but most people do seem sound, so i suppose the more members a site has then the more percentage of k##bs you will find.
i hope our site stay as friendly as we are, the more we keep growing

Lulling them into a false sense of security?  |
